I've never met anyone else who's gone the soldier -> programmer route. Who did you serve with?

  Canadian Army, 34th Brigade, R de Mais. You? If I'm not mistaken, I think Zed Shaw was an american soldier before becoming a programmer.

    Royal Marine for four years. You're right about Zed now you mention it! Did you teach yourself?

    Steve Yegge was in the Navy before going programming, blogging, etc. as well. In fact, the same nuclear Navy where I had my start (though I was programming before I joined).
