In the Navy, I stood next to a surgeon and passed them instruments, then cleaned up afterward.

Yeah, it's an interesting footnote in my biography, but didn't have much relevance to my career arc after I got out.

No, I’m replying to you, and agreeing with you. I’m not posting here because of my l33t OR tech skills, but because of everything that happened after I got out of the Navy.
