Got out of the military Feb of 2011, some months after that I began dedicating all time to my true passion, computer science. I have no previous experience in programming but I love spending entire days reading and playing with different languages. I'm entirely self-taught, like most coders I believe, and have no one else to talk to about CS. Sometimes if a family member asks me a question about something sciency I explode with information and won't stop talking for an hour at least, or until they just walk away :)
