IT job in Seattle for military retiree?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
I’m close to retiring from the Air Force and will be settling down in Seattle with my beautiful wife and 3 year old daughter. Naturally I’m a little anxious about the transition and trying to prepare for it… After living financiallly modest ($35k/a year) thoughout my 20 year military career, I want my second career pay in the IT-field to hopefully reach the six figures range (mainly to repay my wife for sticking by me through all the hardships). I bring the following to the table…

Experience:
20 years AF retired (15 yrs Systems Analyst(IT) / 5 years Logistics)
5 tours in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom Enduring Freedom
Security Clearance
NCOIC or in charge of Computer Operations
Ran an IT Helpdesk, MS applications(Excel, ACCESS, PPT,etc), Windows 9x, NT, 2000, Vista, SQL server, Active Directory, RFID, FTP, mainframes, LAN topographies and architecture, build databases with eyes closed, etc

Education:
Master of Business Administration
MS, Technology Management(specializing Information Sys Services)
BS, Management Information Systems
AAS, Information Systems Technology

Certifications
Graduate Certificate, Project Management

With that said I have a couple of questions…
I’m looking to become an IT Manager/Director with an eventual eye on CIO. First, what kind of IT job should I be focusing on to get me in the door when I begin my IT job search in Seattle? Second, given what I’m leaving the military with (education, experience, etc) what should be a realistic pay range for me to expect to start out with?

I’m looking for employment OTHER than government-related to include Boeing, etc.

With this upcoming major transition for my family and I, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

RPG contacts and Higher Order Aberrations?

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
I am planning on getting contacts for the first time in my life. In the past I have had problems getting perfectly clear vision with glasses and I was wondering how they fit RGP contacts? Do they do a topography before doing a specialty fit with contacts? I suspect I have Higher Order Aberrations, but I was wondering what I should tell the doctor or if I need to tell her anything to maximize the benefits of any possible vision problems on the cornea? I’ve heard that a certain power or fit of RGP can make a difference when dealing with HOA’s. Is this true?

Regardless of whether or not RGP lenses get rid of my visual disturbances, I’m still planning on getting them for other reasons as well.
I was also wondering what would be a sign that there are irregularities in the lens of my eye? I know RGP contacts may not deal with this.

Working on an essay for Geography.What is a mosaic?

Sunday, October 25th, 2009
Ok so I have been really confused. This is the assignment:
Write a two-three page, double-spaced essay explaining the following Virginia was and still is a mosaic.
Remember to address, regionalizations, physical geography (including topography, climate, watersheds, vegetation), plants and animals, pre contact settlement and subsistence, European settlement, historic and modern economies, politics and modern migration.

So all of the things that our professor asks for is in our notes and such, but I don’t understand what she means by mosaic…
I know about the art mosaic, but I don’t understand how a state could be a mosaic?
If anyone could help me out, I’d really appreciate it!!!

Curved levees in rice fields?

Saturday, October 24th, 2009
Why do some rice fields in California have curving levees or dikes separating the fields? They do not follow the topography of a hillside, they are situated in large expanses of open land (flooded, of course).
