It's great to see some folks with actual military experience here. I dodged the draft, being that it was a different era, but I did a lot of work with Operation Code (helping vets & their spouses get into tech).

Generally, there was nothing technical I could teach them. A few went to code schools (which OC helped make the GI Bill pay for) but mostly it was 4-year schools. Very, very few saw any combat.

One thing vets bring to the tablet that isn't that obvious is: they're cool under pressure. Even if they weren't in combat, solving problems with whatever's available is what they do. If I were picking people to keep my datacenter running, vets would be at the front of the line.

Also, I learned the stereotype that Marines eat crayons /s
