Step 1
Know what kind of single you want to find. The four branches of the military are: Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines and people within these groups behave very differently. Generally speaking, Air Force personnel tend to be a little more “laid back,” then would a Marine Special Forces, for example. Army “grunts” tend to be more obtrusive than a navy officer, too. How military people behave may also depend their job description, too. Research military job descriptions to familiar yourself with the type of person you may be looking for.
