Howard Metzenbaum challenged John Glenn during their run for state senate by stating John Glenn never held a real job. Metzenbaum goal was to make Glenn seem non-relatable to the "average workingman." By this time, John Glenn was an accomplished Marine Corps combat pilot, and the first American to orbit the earth.
