Hi All!
So today I queried the 16 members of my senator's nomination committee with the following question: "If a student is in JROTC or CAP or a similar militarily affiliated organization (Sea Cadets, CCC, etc.,) what are your thoughts on them showing up here in uniform.
FYI...the 16 members on our board consist of retired officers in the grade of Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel, a Navy Captain, several lawyers that are former USMC and USA officers (infantry all) and a couple of folks with ALO experience.
The unanimous consensus was: "I actually think it's pretty neat to see, provided the uniform is spot-on, and their grooming meets military standards. It shows us what the person would look like in uniform and shows what type attention to detail they have in a quick glance."
I thought I'd share this since this question comes up all the time in our forums!
And the second part...I WAS OUTED by a young person interviewing today. I walked into the lobby to collect this person...we're walking back and she says: "Are you flieger83?"
I asked: "Why, whatever do you mean???" (how'd she figure this out???)
"Well...I'm really active, along with some friends, on this place called the SA Forums...and there's this guy...and he's in our state, an ALO, and tells some things about interviewing..."
BUSTED!!
So...RP if you read this...don't tell all the secrets!! You'll destroy my "cool points!"
