Date: 2017-12-03 04:51 pm (UTC)One of these years, if time and money hold out, I'm going to buckle down and get my Technician's... and if time holds out, maybe get my da back into it as well. (He holds - and still uses for his day job - a General, has since ... '60? he learnt in the Navy, worked his way up from a desk job in San Diego doing transcription to being a radar op on ELINT birds, and parlayed that into running the big 85' dishes used to track Mercury/Gemini/Apollo...)
