I guess this is the part whre I appologize for acting brashly.
Looking back, I see that I was more assuming than anything when I responded.
I would like to take the time, however, to point out the majority of such horrid acts made by Christians were "suppported" by the Old Testament. Jesus did away with the old laws (at least, that is my understanding) and thus there is no calling for eradication of opposing ideas.
Than why hasn't it been jews genociding christians, and kidnapping christian children to be brought up jewish, for the about the last 1400 years?
In point of fact, this isn't accurate. The principle of salvation isn't Old Testament, nor are the passages from the bible that have directly fueled the easter genocides, such as Matthew 27:25, where the connection between pulpit and riot is immediate.

Not that this is such a very relevant defense, but You have offered no support that has much credence, that I am aware of, that The 10 Commandments are in, while the rest of God's word is out, and I think it is a difficult sell that that the 10 Commandments aren't a central part of christianity.
Thats cool about the NSA bit. Or at least, sounds cool.
Doing elint work really struck my fancy, and there was a lot that was interesting about it. Elint is so important on the battlefield now, that there couldn't be a better place to feel like your competence has a lot of leverage when you're in the shit.
Pick up another language (likely Arabic or Farcee)
I'd bet on Chinese. If you go this way, there will be an important tech school choice to make between about a year of electronics with a 12-16 week crash course at the language school at Monterey, and a year of language school, with 12-16 weeks of radio operations, electronics and decryption. You might want to think hard about what you really enjoy doing so much you could do it forever before making this choice.
