Where do you go to school, and do they have dorms and a computer
engineering/science major?

I go to Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. There are dorms, and
there is a computer science major. The teacher's name was Dr. Tony Joes. He
actually wrote the book. It's called: Modern Guerrilla Insurgency by Anthony
James Joes. It discusses in depth the Greek Civil War of the 1940s, the two
wars in the Phillipines, the French Viet Nam, Viet Nam, and Afghanistan.

Misty, if you are trying to impress us, you've failed with at least a few.
I've done my time. The reason why asked Strego where he goes to school is
because I have more than a passing interest in military history, and was
interested if it was a non-militray school. I am also looking for a place
to continue once I've finished my current degree program, perhaps in a
school where I could find interesting electives to give my mind a break,
and having a gift with computers and electronics, the major is a natural one.

Ah, the roughneck's scorn of it's learned betters. I've done my urban,
alpine, arctic and temperate forest/grassland courses, and could write a
book on the fine art and science of making things go boom. I've forgetten
more about small arms, land movement, tracking, survival in my territory
(which does not include jungles, thank the Spirits), and unarmed combat
than most humans think exist. You're adivsors have experince that I can
not match, but based of your tone of type, I doubt you can match mine.
But that is not my limit. I can, have and will contribute more to my
society than those skills. Can you say the same?

Now go back to bed, take something to counter the excess of testoserone
you seem to be suffering from, and try not to get into pecker contests with
people you don't know.

Use 'em. Without em, sarcasm is interpreted literally.

I am not nobility, nor Japanese. Don't bow.

It does count. You were just sounding like folks I've known that were the
service for thier entire lives and had nothing to show for it than the
ability to blow up and drive tanks. OK, you can run a bulldozer, but that
is the only skills transfere there.
