Everyone has it easy in the Air Force 😁
I fixed radios in the Marines. Not exactly a career path but I loved it.
I remember you had migrated to a Biologic as I recall? I am glad you are beyond Prednisone. I have some on hand but in my locked cabinet that is rarely unlocked. I love the damn stuff but the good Lord gave me a brain - and I know Prednisone doesn't love me. 🙄
But you are still the smartest dude I know about how Prednisone does what it does and how to manage your way off if you waited too long.
Good to hear from you. Be well.

-----------------------
During my 4 years in the Air Force, I was an Electronic Warfare Systems Specialist otherwise called Electronic CounterMeasures (ECM). Sometimes it was called ECCM for Electronic Counter-CounterMeasures.
We jammed radars and did other cool stuff that was secret at the time. It was fascinating in the early 1970s. Some of the electronic equipment cost millions of dollars. We hung big heavy pods under the wing of an F-4 Phantom II. In a pinch, the pilots were authorized to jettison those pods so they could escape at faster speeds.
I was an 18 year old kid when I enlisted in the Air Force. I was only armed with a Jeweler's screwdriver and tweaked things most of the time. It didn't translate to the civilian world but I could have become a radio repairman.
