Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I do not know enough information nor would I trust a recruiter to give me a good picture of what I may face to draw a good conclusion about what opportunities I could be presented… I have a passion for physics, blowing things up, guns, programming and engineering. I have absolutely no desire to be the man behind the iron sights pulling a trigger, but if there is some way to get involved in some R&D with the military and I was given some realistic information, I would have a much firmer basis for what path I wish to follow, being non-military affiliated or performing some kind of engineering under subjects I am greatly passionate about.
I simply wish I had a source of honest information lacking the patriotic propoganda that the advertisements for the army and the recruiters could try to press into my mind.
