guess you cant just say "umm yep, he's a good'unn' you shud put him in the front of the line"
seriously though, not sure if you use the same format for a military reference as you would say corp america. I know there's some different protocals, formats, etc, perhaps there's a recruiter type around here that can send you a worthy example to use as an example, cuz we know you would never plagiarize (that would go against something they taught ya in the marines right

)
