If you've ever wondered why Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors constantly get briefed on how to conduct an interview with the press, this is your answer.

Interviews can be tough, especially if you're not really used to being on camera. Every person who has served in the military has sat in the brief on how you're supposed to act in a press interview. You're generally told what things you can talk about, what things you should and should not say, and how you should, in general, present yourself to the media. What's not covered though is probably one of the trickiest parts of the entire interview process.

What the hell do you do with your damn hands.
