fire up cygwin and you've got all you need; make, vim, g++?
the cygwin project has become incredibly impressive. my windows boxes magically suck much less (if they would manage to stay up throughout the day).
well for my cs degree i had to take the calculus sequence calc I, II & III. that's 1.5 yrs there, not to mention the other dependencies between classes; like post-calc stats i had to take after calc...
your best bet is to maybe CLEP your way out of some of the other classes if you're really bright and study hard. but doing it in 1 yr is un-reasonable.
i absolutely agree. the military can be incredibly rewarding. but expecting to find real-world cutting edge computer work in the armed forces is not such a good idea.
when the military wants serious work done, they outsource it.
i'm a hard-core geek but served 4 years in the marines before college. marine infantry was a tons of fun.
bottom line, do it for the discipline, the adventure and the personal satisfaction you get out of spreading imperialism all over the world while oppressing indigenous peoples.

i totally agree. i would make the jump from VIM and not look back if i could get vi key-bindings and some minor vi features.
it is all open source hopefully someone will extend it to handle emulation. slickedit has vi/ emacs emulation mode, that would be great for eclipse.
if you are plugging numbers in and expecting numbers out then procedural would be just as good as anything.
but there might be other applications where oop will really pay off for you. one thing i can think of is possibly simulations.
i think oop was first used in northern europe (yeah before PARC) to simulate manufacturing systems.

it's still worth the effort i think...
