I would very much like to know if this base has any employement opportunities in the computer networking field? I am not sure if they would even hire someone who is not enlisted in the military, or how much experience is required. If you could please contact me with a reply, or someone I could talk to about any opportunity avaliable, I would greatly appreciate it.
