    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    I got a 90%. I gotta admit there were quite a few I didn't know, having never been in military.

    Question 4 is wrong. Uniformed people do not stand at parade rest during the national anthem. You stand at attention and salute.

    I believe the question stipulated 'OUT' of uniform.

    I'm very surprised - must be blind luck? - somebody could get a 90% with no military experience.

    Common sense would tell somebody how many steps prior to a flag one salutes? Or the command Pass in Review? etc?
