<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You are &quot;highly encouraged&quot; to smile, be warm and receptive........I always tell mine to be serious, what would smiles get you at the promotion board? We become so soft and worrisome over what people think that we forget our wartime mission is to engage and destroy the enemy!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m a person who smiles easily. Do what comes naturally otherwise you&#39;ll look stupid.

I use my war face!!!! That said, having sat on promotion boards, your facial expressions matter not. Your height, weight, appearance and your uniform are what matters. If you are obese, have long hair, mustache out of regulaiton, or your uniform is messed up... smiling will not make a difference.
