Where is Kelseyville? I'm a life-long native Californian and I don't think I've ever heard of it.
It's in northern California; from here it takes 3 1/2 to 4 hours due south to get to San Francisco and 1 3/4 to 2 hours due south-east to Sacramento. Kelseyville is right next to Clear Lake, the largest nature lake in California. It's in between highway 101 and I5. Hope that gives you an idea of where I am.

Thank you for the link, Mr. Brink; I'll be sure to look around that site.

And thank you for your suggestions, Rev. Winzer. As you said, I do need an entry point of sorts.

What I don't really know at this point is how I am going to remember that massive amount of information in so many of those books...

Edit: Oh, is that right, Chris? Looks like you've really thought that all through. I've decided to not go through the military, actually. There are a number of reasons but the biggest of all is that I just don't feel the Lord leading me to it. If He was, I certainly would go Thank you for your suggestions on what to study, by the way. And you know, I have heard of TNARS from several sources now; I think I'll seriously consider it.
You could also try the Air Guard. While military, it's not the "real" military. It would still give you the option of Intel Analyst which would give you a good foundation in basic technical writing, research, and analysis. Very small chance of going overseas in the Air Guard. If not, then with no college degree I would recommend Border Patrol. Check out their site for testings in your area. CBP.gov - home page

Larryjf works with TNARS.
