identifying the veteran's condition of discharge - honorable, general, other

assignments, and more. May have other names for other branches

guidance for the Joint Services Transcript (JST) used by the Army,
Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard. More than 2,300 colleges
and universities recognize these transcripts as official

firing a weapon, discipline, equipment, physical fitness, defense, and more

• The Harvard Business Review found that top sales people possess
the following traits:

* an above-average ambition and desire to succeed
* above-average willpower and determination (where self-
discipline is key)
* an intensely goal-oriented personality
