Common places for a CyberCorps student to serve include the NSA, the Naval Research Lab, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, etc. I'm not upset by your characterization--I just wanted to make sure that we're not contributing to rumors about ourselves. I really appreciate your thoughtful posts, and I _love_ being dragged in to conversations about the difficult topics out there in Internet Identity. @Marshall, the CyberCorps part is true, but that’s not necessarily military.

Re details of military service, I was told by the Vidoop CEO (real nice guy, btw) that the company's encryption etc are strong in large part because of the Cybercorps experience of many of the developers. In this context, and with Kveton (whom I think is great) saying it sounds good to him - then I come to the conclusion that it's ok to make the statement that I did. If I've misunderstood and overstated the case re Vidoop and the military, I'd love to be dissuaded. Either way let's talk more about it when team Vidoop lands an outpost in Portland ;) Thanks for the post here.
