    Ok,
    I've seen a couple posts of people with military service here, but I wonder how many aren't saying anything...

    If you did serve, which branch, and country...

    I've seen quite a few people post that they've got some military service... It doesn't really have anything to do with it, just wondering how many vets there are here..

    That's cool! In the US, a child of a military family is called an "army brat", were you called anything like that?

    I spent 8 years in the Army as an avionics technician. I worked mostly on helicopters.
    Avionics is the electronic instruments and other control equipment for various aircraft.

    Military training teaches a person to have drive, motivation, and discipline in accomplishing many different tasks in life, including webmastering. It's certainly possible to attain these qualities without military training, but the military has the effective ability to "burn" these qualities into your brain in a shorter amount of time.

    On a more personal and selfish level, if it wasn't for the military I highly doubt I would be in school for my IT web analyst/programming degree. :D
