Then I got out and became a freelance website programmer which I'm still doing now. Along the way I ran a company with another Navy vet doing computer repair for awhile. But what I learned in the Navy definitely helped with programming, or troubleshooting anything really.. and being able to say I had a Top Secret/SCI clearance definitely helped on resumes
