I was an engineer by schooling, so skipped COBOL (the business language) and went directly from Basic to Fortran. I spent 23 years in the aero defense industry... can you believe that?    :naughty:

I'm strictly a user when it comes to computers. I can change a modem or a motherboard and do some maitenance, but when it comes to languages like Cobol ot Fortran, I'm clueless. I leave that stuff to the experts. But if you need an M4 Carbine broken down, cleaned and reassembled, call me.  :cheersmate:

I went to PLDC with those crazy mofo'ers from 3rd Bat. Once even tried to run with the ones in my class one time. Didn't work out too well. The Rangers that weren't in "our" uniform, and not in PLDC, were running in full ruck.

As you know, the NCO Academy is in the back of post, close to 75th and right next to airborne school.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value.

For me, programing was Greek. Like Cost Accounting. But I excelled at Maco Economics. I've always been a "Big Picture" sort, so I guess it was logical.

For some reason all this talk of programming brings back memories of TurboPascal and C++.
