A few months ago, I caught my squadmate with a flask of alcohol while we were training on the field. I told him not to do that again because it could put the entire squad in trouble. I don’t think he took my warning seriously. Should I have handled this another way?

Talk to your First Sgt

Man up take it from him and don’t say another word

Don’t be the one with the secret.

Every command is a culture unto itself. Who does this person respect within your unit? Is there a Staff Sgt you can talk to? A Chaplin is a secondary option.

If the Staff Sgt or Chaplin don’t work then take it to the First.

I think you should have handled this differently. You could have asked him to talk in private so you could discuss the issue away from other squadmates. That way he would have felt heard and understood, and you could have better explained why it was important to follow the rules.

Hi all!! I am a first year master of urban planning student with a focus in economic development, spatial planning, and geospatial analysis and visualization (GIS, SPSS, R). I know guidehouse has a pretty robust state and local government consulting arm (and I would love to hear from any GH employees), but what other firms have strong local and state government practices? Does anyone work in this arena and would be willing to chat with me? Thanks so much!! Enjoy your Saturday 😊

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle.

I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

I bought all new clothes from Ann Taylor that are perfectly acceptable for business casual. He hates me. Move on ASAP or try to stick it out ?
