Armed forced?
Must you put on your stupid face? Can't you take a typo?
Our military isn't perfect. Many of those who enlist aren't all that
sharp. Most are shoved into a career field in which they have no
interest. Most aren't going to make the military a career.
You must be remembering the draft years when, even though the Air Force
didn't use the draft, the draft generated a significant interest in Air
Force service.
Some are
lucky enough to have skills obtained prior to military service. Some of
those are fortunate enough to serve in a field in which they have some
expertise or interest.
Some with grave disappointment that they couldn't be hams in particular
combat zones.
Why aren't the communications billets merely a direct duty assignment
after basic training?
They can be. That's how I did it. I never set foot in an Air Force
technical school. Of course I'd already been a radio amateur for seven
years when I joined the military. I was awarded my 3-level right out of
basic training. I went directed duty to Barksdale AFB after ten days of
leave after Amarillo.
Lackland. San Antonio.
Yes, Lackland AFB is in San Antonio. Amarillo AFB was in Amarillo.
That's where I went through basic training. Amarillo. Amarillo.
I see. Wikipedia confirms Amarillo AFB as an inprocessing base.
Did you catch what Robesin's got?
I have no idea of what you mean, Brian.
Stories about the military.
Whole government agencies gave up on code. Commercial businesses gave
up on code.
Oracle uses a lot of code.
Is Oracle an Extra? What's his call?
Oracle is a business which didn't give up on code.
