    I know this has been weighing on my mind since Tuesday, and I'm sure some of you other guys have wondered, too. Here is the draft info, straight from the horse's mouth: http://www.sss.gov/ Jon Sagara Sagara Software

      Damned spelling. "Couch potato". (At least I didn't say "potatoe") "I never met anyone I didn't like" Will Rogers.

        Really ? I thought otherwise. I just checked online, and it would appear you are right. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.

        I just remember the stories of my father missing out on a tour of Vietnam due to his Bronchial Ectisys (??) and being a weedy poof. Many of his friends went and I was sure they didn't get the choice. Is anyone else getting errors when they hit Submit, only to find their replies posted?

            being a weedy poof. You're a close family then ? ;) ( Yes, I recall the story, don't feel you have to retell it ) Yes, I get that error, and general 'cannot find page' errors often enough that if I post, I open another browser and check if the message is there before reposting.

              You know I didn't spot the spelling error until you pointed it out ? So long as that's all you keep warm, I don't mind.

                Did I miss something? There's nothing on the site that says anything about the current events.

                  Those of us with computer skills would most likely be placed in some role far behind the front lines. The question is, how many of us are there, and how many will they need ? No, I'm afraid it's 2 weeks training and the front line for most of us. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet.

                  I am lucky on 2 counts. 1) I live in the UK. 2) I work for a defense company writing software. The software I write is NOT for aiming missiles at terrorists (I wish it was), it tests electronic communications and radar components etc. I am glad that in some small way I will be helping the americans when the time comes, many of our customers are american companies (including Lockheed). Hope americans can come to terms with this horrid act and that it never happens again. Adrian :rose:

                    Those of us with computer skills would most likely be placed in some role far behind the front lines. Maybe to develop code for guided missiles, electronic eavesdropping, things like that. I would like nothing better than to develop software to guide a smart bomb up Osama bin Laden's butt. In fact, yesterday I sent off a resume to Lockheed Martin. I graduate with a Computer Science degree in December. They are one of many companies I'llbe applying to, some of which will be defense contractors. "Live free or die"

                    I already kinda do that. :-) I don't know if I can mention exactly what our software does other than it deals with "real-time image acquisition and transfer". But that's not enough - I wanna shoot some terrorists. :)

                      I've heard some speculation that there would be no draft any time soon, since it's likely that enough people would willingly volunteer when asked. John
