Flutterby™! : So you want to join the military...

Over at Sgt Stryker's Daily Briefing, Stryker says: So You Want to Join the Military.... Damn I wish I'd had that when I was in college looking at my options. Coming from the direction from someone who's career, and therefore serious about it, talking about what recruiters will tell you and all. Worth a read if you're of that age.

Speaking of "of that age", I rode the ferry home with one of the guys who used to come over to Coyote Grits to play Counter-Strike and the like on our LAN the other day. I hesitate to call him one of the Rat Boys because I've yet to figure out what that group encompasses, but I think he's one of 'em. He's got an internship at Discreet. It's interesting talking to the various high-schoolers I know, from the "I have no idea what I'm going to do this summer" to the "I'm using this internship as a stepping stone to this experience, which I think will round out my college application this way, and during college I'm going to do this and this and this to get the attention of these companies..."

I was in the former group. Thought I was going to be a graphic designer until somewhere in my second year of college. Any of y'all in the latter category, and how did it serve you?
