While in the Marine Corps, my husband, Greg, was a recruiter in Chicago. One morning he went to pick up a candidate at a crime-ridden high-rise building. He got into the elevator, and to his dismay, was joined by two tough-looking characters who demanded money.

My husband's training came to the rescue. Looking them in the eye, he began his recruiter's pitch. "This might be your lucky day," he told them enthusiastically. "We can use determined, forceful individuals like you in the Marines. How would you like to serve your country?"

By the time he finished, the elevator had stopped at the candidate's floor, and the bewildered thugs quickly disappeared.
