	Yes, but you said the key thing there: people KNOW what the military
is all about, but young, ambitious potential computer professionals with no
job experience and eager to get training might NOT know the company's horrendous
track record, nor expect to be treated as a boot camp cadet in an expected
corporate environment.

	EDS paints a tough-but-you're-better-for-it picture for young recruits -
I think it is important for people like the original poster's friend to know
what REALLY goes on there.  I hope this goes to 60 minutes, or through other
media channels, for people to become more aware of the atrocious  - and possibly
illegal - working conditions there.

I have a feeling avid net.jobbers are going to start flaming about inappropriate
newsgroup postings.) (Although net.jobbers should be well-warned about EDS!!!)
