I have heard some people say 11B is not that important since you will learn it all and more in the Q course. But, I hear you saying you do think it is important for being an effective fighter. Do I understand you correctly?
Also, if I am already a computer geek, does that change your advice about going to 25U? For example, even if I know how to build computers, install operating systems and set up a computer LAN from a hobby perspective, is there a lot that would still be valuable to me - maybe advanced networking, radios, antenna theory, satellite communications?
Thanks!

If you go active (which I assume) you probably will get right into the fight. If you say you have the skills you mentioned, I would dare to say you can forgo the 25 series training.
The tactics training in the "Q" is adequate, (we just re-vamped the 18B POI) but remember the Q course is just the "beginner" course for operators. Kinda like SF AIT, you will still have a great learning curve, no matter what the MOS you have when ya get to group.
You have to be a QUICK learner, but hey....thats what makes us "special"
