I did emerald coast and thought it was good. I felt well prepared and was offered a CJO. I also did the veteran recruiting event and the captain I talked with at the event by coincidence was also the captain during my interview. Agree that doing prep before a job fair is a good idea, the captain remembered me and a few details from my event introduction. I had my "elevator speech" ready for the recruiting event based on the emerald coast prep and that is what the captain remembered when we met again during the interview.
