This happened to anyone before?

In my opinion anyone involved in politics should have an extensive liberal arts education - a solid background in world history, classical literature, and philosophy. It ain't the place for businessmen and lawyers.

If I don't do AF I'll prolly go into teaching.

you are just what they need. a high degree of technical skill,coupled with an analitical knowledge of politics.people like you can be used to analyze when and where to apply pressure or take advantage of certain governments strengths or weaknesses.just remember,when you get top secret security clearance,you become a liability.you might end up with a boring analyst job,you could help stop a few disasters or cause a few.make sure "YOU" plan your future,not someone else.

Basically, I think it's all coincidence. I'm sure if you analyze things hard enough, it'll all seem to be in a line of planning rather than coincidence. Receiving gifts and job offers, is a common thing once you start attending college, sign up for selective services, and/or turn 18.
