Late 40s. Joined out of high school, my dad's been a database admin since I was three. I made the mistake of telling my boss "yes" my first day in the Fleet when he asked if I knew what FORTRAN was. So I got assigned to two of the testing systems that the Tomcats, OG Hornets, and Nighthawks all share. I shifted MOS to the newer hardware at the end of my first hitch. The instant I got deployed I wound up on Tomcat duty - Oceana didn't have enough warm bodies to send SEAOPDET, I had experience with the hardware, and ship's company wasn't enough to keep up with the operations pace.

..remember, you're here forever. God have mercy on us all.
