Picky, Picky.  It might be worth checking again; things have lightened  
up since the vietnam war...

I've had two jobs that were DoD-related enough that they required at  
least the paperwork for a security clearance, and they were both  
pretty nice jobs.  And you gotta know that that sector nearly  
specializes in "seniority based hierarchy"; that would have been  
distasteful and obnoxious when you were younger, but it might work to  
your advantage now...
