My friend Joshua had a similar experience. (Pre-Iraq, Conflict free military) They told him he was going to be working with computers in a mobile command station somewhere around Washington state.
He told me he saw a computer once while he was walking the wire at a military base in Italy.

Anyone joining the Military is also a soldier, first and foremost. They will be called upon to learn basic weapons skills and may be expected to use them.
Computers users are no exception.

So you wouldn't mind a bald faced lie? After you sign the papers they don't even pretend to keep their word.

Everyone going into the military goes through basic training, and in most branches its 9 weeks long; no matter what job you're signing up for.

At first my father and I joked about it a bit...
"Oops! Sir, that missile just hit one of our own ships."
"Somehow it was given the wrong coordinate, sir."
"Sir, I think its your horrible compiler..."

He was there for 3 years and even today he hasn't been to Washington state. I hope something like that doesn't happen to you but be warned.
(3 years was his entire enlistment)

That's really unfortunate for him. What branch was he enlisted in?

Well, he came, and he left. Luckily it was a recruiter I already know and he's pretty trustworthy too. It turns out my job would be more of a hardware aspect being able to troubleshoot and repair the missile systems. Not my cup of tea really. I told him I'll definitely think about it though.

What's up with you?
Congratulations Dave! I'm sure you'll do great, if you choose to accept the job.
