To put it shortly, I was told once by a Marine Captain that the Army is like a tsunami: long to travel, slow to work, but overwhelming, inundating force. Marines are like a flash flood: Fast, strong, but localized and tactical.

When you were a recruiter what was your policy on medical issues? I have come across two camps: Be 100% honest to your recruiters and MEPS/DoDMERB and the other; be 100% honest with your recruiter, and if it won't kill you or your future platoon, don't say anything about minor medical issues (i.e. broken toe in high school, minor non-systemic allergies, etc.) to the medical facility?

Just for future reference ToeTacTic, that's almost always a question you should never ask. Killing is not easy, it sucks, and no one should every have to do it. Though I have never had to kill, I imagine asking that is like probing an open wound.

TL;DR: Never ask a service member, policeman, or any other service member who may have been in that situation that question, it's pretty insensitive.

HOW DID I MISS THIS???

Hey /u/MichaelLovell !

I swam with your daughter in high school, and I have attended MU games since I was a kid!

My question is this: What has been the most trying experience for you as president during your time at Marquette? Also how has student life changed since the time you started?
