Justin,
The best you can do is make the most out of your military experience. I'd
pursue 2003 now. The knowledge won't hurt. You can upgrade it to the new
flavor of the day 3 years down the road. The military is a waste of time
if you do not take the initiative and better yourself. It will probably be
a little antiquated by the time you are discharged, but I'm sure the OS will
be in widespread use at that time...so it can not hurt. I wish you all the
best in your SEAL endeavors. That is far more impressive than an
MCSE...There ain't no braindumps available for SEAL training! You are a
smarter man than I was as a youngster. I always got stuck cleaning toilets
etc etc while in the service.
