“YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION”
1. In a timely manner respond to all emails and letters from West Point or the Field
Force, even if only to acknowledge receipt.
2. Extend the proper courtesies: Call people who are more senior to you “Sir” or
“Ma’am”, “Mr.” or “Mrs.”, “Major” or “Colonel”, etc., especially in formal settings,
or in the presence of other senior people.
3. Dress properly and conservatively for events.
4. Don’t chew gum.
5. Always present yourself and act as if you are being evaluated (because you are).
6. Follow instructions to the letter.
7. Try to figure it out yourself before asking someone else to figure it out for you.
8. To distinguish yourself from the pack, get out front early, and stay there!
