To make a good impression.. Just don't be scared.. And act like yourself..
If you show you are nervous or scared.. He'll notice .. And that won't be a good impression.
You should show him that you would like to become apart of your girlfriends life.. Having her parents liking you and being 'friends' with is a good thing. If you show otherwise, that you dislike them or always going to be scared of them.. They won't really like that.
This happened to me once with some girl.. But it was her mother.. Her mother completely controlled this girl.. Literally.. She wouldn't let her do anything.. So, to get her to gove some space.. I had to make a good impression.. After one night of going to their house and having dinner with them, I actually made a good impression.. Even though I was scared..
Just be cautious of what you say and do.. Jokes sometimes aren't the best way to go ;)
You never know how people interpret things..
Good luck, and don't show fear.

Sometimes, showing fear helps. Meaning, Showing that your afraid of him, Gives him the ego power he will thrive to have over you, so that you won't hurt his baby.
Dress nice, no hats, glasses, etc etc, if your going out, Tell him what your going to do, and ask what time does he need you to get his daughter back home.
Do some research on google, about the army, if you know his rank etc, Act like your interested in the army, unless your 18 now....
a little knowledge goes along ways, This will let him know that your not just after )*$*$(#@, Just be polite, yes sir, etc etc.
OPTIONAL - if all goes well, express to him, that you care for her, and want her to be happy.
Goodluck!

Always be yourself! If you are a good person, that will show thru. Do not act nervous, that will only add fuel to the fire. Just remember he puts his pants on like you do everyday---on leg at a time. As a parent, I can tell you that in his eyes no one is good enough for his daughter, only time will prove otherwise. Good Luck! Don't be intimidated. He doesn't want his daughter with a push over either. He is going to test you to see how strong you are. Be tough, but not arrogant. Be sincere and honest.

do not let this guy know he intimidates you. at the same time don't give him the impression you are an *** hole. look him in the eye when you shake his hand and when you two are talking. when you shake his hand, shake it fully and not half ***. remember! the man is in the army. you don't have to treat him like loyalty, but you need to show him that you do have a back bone and you are serious about his daughter. keep in mind that the man is human and also has met parents. he doesn't want to ruin his daughter's happiness, he just wants to make sure his daughter will be taken care of the way he has been doing it. to break the ice, find things that you two have in common and talk about it. let him see the side that your girlfriend wants him to see. the side that makes her happy.

put yourself in his position. He knows what you know because he's dated girls before too. The way to charm the guy is to dress apropriately, but not overly so ( lose your earings, visible tattoos, chains, etc. no offensive shirts jack@$$). Be respectful but let him do the talking, let him know what you do for a living....be charismatic about what interests him. Most importantly, convey to this guy that you care about his daughter! Thats all the dude cares about. Don't be a wishy-washy. Let him know your plans before-hand. Im not sure how old you are so this could go on and on and on

Just stay calm and the rest should take care of itself...
Don't talk politics...
Don't talk religion...
And most importantly... Don't be afraid to touch your girl friend!
My b@d@ss teamster father told me that the first time he met my now-X the deciding factor was that he was self confident and didn't hesitate to put his arm around me or is hand on my leg when sitting down.
Nothing "Sexual" but just a normal "This is my girlfriend and I love her" sort of gestures.
Remember... This guy is just looking out for his baby... If she is 15 or 50 she will ALWAYS be his BABY.
Just be yourself and don't back down.

Just make sure your polite, and courteous.
It'll be fine it's always been and will be a big deal. But try to get into conversation about things he likes. And listen to what he says.
He will respect you if you pretend to share the same interests.

Be straight.
I have daughters. And I get a big kick out of scaring the boys she brings home.

Be very respectful.
Start with introducing yourself to him. Then let him lead. Answer everything with sir attached to it. Yes, sir. No, sir.
Don't worry about looking like a little kid. From his prospective, you are a little kid....
