John and I work for the same company in different departments. He has a
great reputation for professionalism and competence. I should have known
that he had military experience.

The skill of
adapting and working in this sort of environment can be a great asset to a
technical writer, one that military service teaches on a daily basis.
There are other
skills that military experience gives, leadership, tactics, diplomacy
(really, you try to get promoted without it), but coping skills are one of
the most important in "surviving" the military life.
