What drives you to serve your country? Is it your exuberant patriotism? Your intense desire to serve others? Your wish to protect your family? Your sense of obligation to repay the men and women who have sacrificed everything to keep our country free? As a child, I never understood why people...

Hello! I have a few quick questions about my resume and was hoping to get some insight from you guys. I've been reading that there's a specific format that our resumes should be written in... Well, I already turned mine in, and I never saw this requirement that people seem to speak of. My...
