At my job in the navy, I am a low-tier IT monkey and a mid-tier radioman, and at my other job, I'm a low-tier IT monkey but for an incredibly complicated piece of equipment where half of it is pieces of helicopters. These are interesting and cool things and somehow I've finally gained a modicum of respect from those around me, even if it's just for skill and a little dampened by my other lunacy.

The scariest thing in my life right now is that I might have actually fucking won, and I'm not used to that. I'm sure as the training year goes on and I get more acquainted with my other job I'll have more complaints, but if my strongest complaint is "I get paid to be told NOT to touch this thing I find very interesting quite as hard as I'd like" that's a good problem to have.
