How to Dress when meeting Officer Recruiter for the first time

I am planning on meeting my officer recruiter for the first time this week. Do any of the veterans have any suggestions on how to dress? Business, business causal etc. Don't want to make the wrong impression.

Thanks
 
Assless chaps are always a winner! :D


Seriously, business casual is a safe bet.
 
Make sure you shave and get rid of any eccentricities in your haircut (mutton chops, etc.). Leave your jean shorts at home. :-D
 
Thanks. Its a double-edged sword, i didn't want to come in looking ridiculously overdressed in a suit if other were coming in wearing jeans and a t-shirt but by the same token I didn't want to look like a slob and be underdressed. No worries on the hair, keep it high and tight.
 
I don't think they will really care, as long as you don't look like a dirt bag. I wasn't planning on meeting the recruiter when I did and was not dressed up at all, he didn't seem to care as I still got accepted. Nice shirt, clean pants would probably be fine.
 
Personally, tee shirt and jeans. No earrings, piercings, "stylish" hair (faux hawk, etc..) and no cocaine finger nails is a safe bet. When I worked Officer Recruiting, the only thing that struck a "bad" chord were the goths, right out Billy-Bob NASCAR-trailer-park-walk-ins, and people dressed like gang bangers walking in spouting, "...man, I wanna fly jets" as they're waving their hands in big oversized down jacket, sideways caps and/or wool caps in the middle of June. Seriously, I'm NOT kidding.

On the flip side, if you walk in with a blue oxford button down, khaki pants, a belt with whales on it, and canvas boat shoes, looking like a young Ed Begley Jr. out of a Land's End catalog, we'd likely vector you towards SWO, supply or INTEL.
 
Well then I better put on my J.Crew garb, haha, cause I am going for 1) INTEL and 2) SWO. Thank you for the advice.

You pretty much described every guy (colloquially referred to as a 'bro' or a 'dude') at Holy Cross, except there's a lot more pink and a decent amount of madras/patchwork stuff going on. If it gets over 60 degrees here it starts to look like Martha's Vineyard threw up all over Worcester.:D
 
i walked in wearing scuba gear, swim goggles and a flight helmet...and asked where do i sign? worked for me..
