Sounds like a lot of fun, thanks for the recommendation!

It’s totally natural! As someone who has to conduct the interview nowadays, just know that I get nervous as well before going and conducting them, too.
As someone being interviewed, I found that for me really practicing my “script” helps calm the nerves. Interviewing is really just telling a series of scripted stories, so have several lined up and just practice telling them. Interview questions are incredibly repetitive - so you can really find the stories that try to highlight your strengths and then finding a time in the interview to deploy them.
Lastly, something that helps calm my nerves is really knowing that I have some power here, we both have the ability to say no to the opportunity. So, it’s a meeting to really determine if I have the skillset that’s desired by the company and if the fit is good for me as an individual. Remembering the power balance can give you a little bit of swagger back.
Best of luck, OP!!
Officers who haven’t resigned their commissions (either retired or finished with their active service obligation) default into the IRR. This is likely some sort of speciality skillset group that’s about to get a very unwelcome piece of certified mail. It’s a bad day to speak Russian…
