From the yk2
Newsletter <http://www.y2knews.com/>:
"The federal government is in dire need of technical resources to fix the
Year 2000 problem-so dire, in fact, that there is speculation about a
possible draft of Cobol programmers."
I wonder what bootcamp is like?
As someone that was in the Navy, and has "Intro to programming in COBOL" in
their Military service record, that isn't even funny! Thankfully I got out
without any inactive reserve time. Still the thought scares me a little,
especially since I couldn't program my way out of a wet paper bag with
COBOL :^)
