The one stipulation is that you are CLEAN SHAVEN by Baccalaureate & Graduation.

Captain Mike Dean is the Assistant Fire Chief and Trainee Officer at St. Louis Lambert International Airport. He had a lot of wisdom to share: There is no such thing as a dumb question as those who ask are not afraid to step out and seek knowledge; It is hard to be a leader without followers; Leaders get the job done by inspiring others to move forward; Good leaders know how to communicate, use charisma and understand their audience; We are all leaders and followers at some point and good leaders know how to follow; Leaders understand potential problems and are accountable for the leadership of other people; Good leaders have wisdom, which comes from experience and experience comes from making bad decisions and learning from them; Leaders need to make connections so their followers trust them. His advice to young people: shut up, know you don’t know everything and the people around you are trying to help you. Finally: If it gets to your Boss’s desk, it means you couldn’t handle it!
