&pageText=If you are asked to give an interview to media representatives, you should always ask to see identification or press credentials so you can verify that the persons are who they say they are, and who they represent. If they do not have identification or credentials, don't do the interview. Refer the individuals to your chain of command or public affairs representative.
NOTE: In an overseas theater of operations, a military Joint Information Bureau (JIB) will issue distinctive credentials to media members.&
