Polishing dress shoes on a regular basis is a must!

I prefer doing it myself because the cost is a lot less, but if I am on a business trip, or need it, I won't hesitate to pay someone. Appearance does mean a lot! :) Frank, I will answer your question in a direct e-mail, and eventually will get around to posting a series on the benefits of joining the US Military Reserves. Thanks for the comments, guys. :) Steve,

Patrick, but do you know much about the Navy Reserve? I'm a recent graduate from school who's now employed in the financial services industry, but I'm working to have enough invested and saved to cover my living expenses. I've always been interested in the military but I'm not sure my skill-set would carryover. I'd be interested in joining the navy reserve for the benefits and extra spending money once I reach this point, but I'm unsure as to how much they are paid or how likely it is to be deployed. Any ideas? If not, no worries, just figured I'd ask. This might come across as an unrelated question (it is!) Patrick, but do you know much about the Navy Reserve?

I've tried doing it myself and have never been able to master it. For those people not willing to do it themselves like me it is still a worthy idea to have a shoe shiner do it for you. Most places it runs $2-$3. So with tip it shouldn't cost you more than $5 and if you have a nice pair of shoes it is still cheaper than buying a new pair.
