I am looking to join the National Guard as a 09S (Officer Candidate). I was invited by a colleague who recently did the same thing to meet some people in his command. I currnetly have a short beard that is neatly groomed. Should I shave my beard off for the meet and greet?

Might as well. Couldn't hurt.

I should also mention that I'm meeting the State Officer Strength Manager and maybe the state OCS commander. I suppose the answer is rather obvious to me now.

SrA John Monette - Any recommendations on how to wow them? I think my enthusiasm will be apparent, but what about knowledge?

I mean, you probably don't have to but I would make an effort to make it look neat and everything. That and wear a collared shirt with slacks. That's what I wear when I meet with my recruiter and what I wore to MEPS.

Join nearly 2 million former and current members of the US military, just like you.
