Do I remember someone saying that the USAF is teaching cadets
Ada?  I've been on the phone today with recruiters talking
about Colorado Springs.  The woman told me she had no call
for Ada programmers but C++/GUI was hot and had been growing.
This firm dealt only with aerospace, not the telcom companies.

So my actual questions are:

a) Is Ada being taught to Air Force cadets?

b) Why, if right outside their gates it isn't being
   used?

Actually, I do know of a _small_ number of Ada projects in the
Springs but the number seems to be dwindling fast.  Does the
Air Force not use "war fighting" software?
