How do you go from a fake job interview to straddling a motorcycle with Michael Weatherly from "NCIS" draped over your back to getting un-punk'd by the Ffirst Llady to actually landing a dream job?

Oh, and driving away with that bike?

You start with a really cool girlfriend, that's how.

For former 2nd Infantry Division grunt Jon Arneson, things had gone from bad to worse.

After two tours downrange, he had left the Army as a sergeant, but struggled to find even bad jobs.

Then after a long fight, his grandfather — who had both raised Arneson and inspired him to join the military with his own service in Vietnam — lost his battle with cancer.

With medical bills and funeral expenses piled high, the 24-year-old was forced to sell his old motorcycle, one of the few things that helped him relieve the stress.

That's when his girlfriend, Gabrielle Carmona, wrote the folks at "Prank It FWD," the feel-good funsters who put together the kind of practical jokes we all wish we could be on the target of.

With the help of co-conspirators at Break.com, Extra TV and the White House, that's exactly what he ends up getting.

And with 12 cameras rolling through the elaborate setup, you can have some, too.

Watch the video to see how it unfolds. While Weatherly's craptastic Christopher Walken impression is cringeworthy, it's great to see a guy like Arneson catch a break — and then some.
