I went to another school, this time a Navy School, where I learned to program old outdated pre-computer equipment. I was then transferred to the Pentagon where I spent the rest of my Navy career. I learned to program, self taught, 2nd generation computer equipment where I wrote some programs for the Navy that were used for 5 yr budget forecasting, learned to write code for finding ships in a radius or polygon area. Wrote code to assist in determining how many Navy ships transited various waterways for the Freedom of the seas conference. So much for that stuff, it was interesting and kept me out of trouble. I met my first wife we were married about a month after I exited the Navy on Jan 4, 1971. We had one child together.
