I have an appointment this morning to speak with a high ranker in the Israeli equivalent of the security section of the pentagon.
Yesterday out of the 400 guys in a hanger I was one of 7 who didn't get chozen for combat.
When I went in to speak with the placement officer I happened to mention my computer skillz and he jumped all over it:
"Can you do internet?"
"Yes, HTML, xml, PERL, Javascript, Java,...uh..."
"asp?"
"A little, I need to learn it better."
"Are you interested in Hasbara work on server side?"
"!!! That is EXACTLY what I would want to do in the army!!!"
"Ok, I need to make a call to central intellgience and I'll call you back in here in a second...the only problem I see with you is your Hebrew but there are ways around that."
"...uh...Thank you, sir"
===========
The thing that you have to understand here is that NO ONE EVER gets the job that they want in the army...but apparently I might.
