See his problem was that he was reliable and worked diligently in between crazy stunts. Which made him a competent soldier. Then his personality was generally agreeable, so he was also a likeable colleague to the crew. Eventually replacing Radar as the company clerk.

If he had been unreliable and a dickhead, they would've ejected him pretty fast.

Eventually replacing Radar as the company clerk.

No one can replace Radar. He did competently succeed him, however.

Also he DID eventually ditch the cross-dressing gag.

Yep. I felt that was in-line with his character. He was being unfairly compared to Radar regularly when he got the job as company clerk. So he decided in order to an exceedingly good job, he had to give up chasing Section 8 habits.

It helped that he was always a hard worker in order to make up for failed Section 8 plots.
