I did a search on this topic, but so many irrelevant posts came up that I figured I'd start a new one.
Does anyone have tips on hustling them? My main problem is that I have no idea how to respond when they tell me what they do--I only know one guy in the military in my personal life and I have nothing to talk about with him anyway. You can't exactly say, "Oh really! how was Iraq!?" I know nothing about the differences between the sections of the military, except the Infantry I guess, and that's even worse because it's like "Hey, how was dealing with death all the fucking time!?" Last night a guy told me he was in the infantry and showed me a tattoo of the names of all his friends who died. I was just like, "Yeah... That's a tattoo you'll never regret I guess!" It was horrible. Plus, you never know if they love what they do or if they have PTSD or something terrible, so I always feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
So yeah, any advice on establishing rapport? I have nothing against them but they're one the group that I'm absolutely clueless about, and they can have some of the most money.

Just have to know what kind of person you are dealing with, not what they particularly do for a job.
