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.

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).

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