 If you have any thought or desire to learn coding, do it. I got interested in coding when I was in college. While I was studying, we didn't focus so much on coding, but we did more scripting to help with the mundane tasks that we had to do throughout the major. And I saw, when I was writing basic scripts, the power that coding has and the ability that you have, the ability that it can give you to make difficult tasks easier, and it got me hooked. I feel that coding is only going to become a larger part of the Marine Corps in the future. I think once individuals at higher levels see what we're capable of, coding is only going to become more integral into Marines' everyday lives. Having a basic understanding of what's going on around you is the best way to give yourself a leg up.
