The publisher of this website wore Marine green with great pride.
He never met an enlisted or commissioned Marine he didn't like ~ except for one psycho corporal.
(The BG with whom he crossed swords at the Pentagon was Army ~ so this doesn't count.)
He even liked his company commander during advanced infantry training who
walked around with a bullwhip which he cracked to try to make his
trainees flinch. We never did because we knew he was
good people who would never hurt anyone
~ unless he had to kill them.

Job interview guidelines:
l Before the interview, spend at least an hour in front of your bathroom's mirror.
No kidding. At least an hour.
Put your face through all kinds of contortions and FEEL what a smile is.
FEEL what a frown is. FEEL what a poker face is. FEEL what raised
eyebrows are. FEEL what a scowl is. FEEL what a stupid grin is.
DURING AN INTERVIEW, BE AWARE OF WHAT MASK
YOU'RE WEARING AT ALL TIMES.
Choose the right mask.(You might want to take a course in non-verbal communication sometime.
You might want to watch some old-timey flicks without sound ~
and concentrate on facial expressions.)l BE LIKEABLE. Be straightforward. Look the interviewer in the eye. Smiling is okay in the civilian world.
Use a firm handshake, but if you break his or her hand, you might not get the job. Sit straight or lean forward slightly
with your hands folded in your lap. Do not lean back; you might lose your balance and ...
Leaning forward slightly is body language for "I am eager to do my best."l DO NOT ASK IF IT'S OKAY TO SMOKE !!!
l Wear appropriate, "newish" clothes and make yourself look "clean-cut."
Let the interviewer know that the interview is a big deal for you and you want the job.
l Do not communicate that you don't give a damn whether you win the job or not.l Give short, to-the-point answers UNLESS THE INTERVIEWER SAYS HE WANTS DETAIL.
"Tell me about yourself" doesn't mean "Tell me where you were born, how many toes you have
on your left foot, and the pranks you played on the other kids in grammar school with your pet skunk."
"Tell me about yourself" means "Tell me what you can do for this company."l Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes. Understand that he or she is obligated to protect the company's interests.
What qualities are the interviewer looking for in the person he will hire? What about honesty, dependability,
and loyalty to him? Managers usually like to hire employees who will make them look good ~
and make their jobs "easier."
However, some milquetoast bosses are afraid to hire sharp people because
they think their jobs will be threatened.
This is NOT the kind of person you should work for if you have a choice!
An intelligent, self-confident manager WANTS to hire sharp
people because they will help him get promoted.
The secret of top-gun leadership is to
surround yourself with capable
lieutenants.l You might even want to invest in your future by reading a book such as
Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends & Influence People."l When you win a job, psyche yourself into that company being YOUR company and you damn well
want to go the extra mile to make it work right. Job security has something to do with a company
being successful and staying in business. Self-respect has something to do with
taking healthy pride in the quality of the work you turn out ~
even if superiors are too thick-headed to recognize
your talents and extra-mile efforts.l BE LIKEABLE!
Nothing in a job interview is more important.
(Even con-artists, especially, know the value of being likeable.
Just look at Nevada's politicians.)
Thank you for your service to our country !!!
