The world is changing.
My son, the Airman, was trained to work on computers, radios and tracking equipment. Loaned to the Army, trained at Fort Riley Kansas 'just in case', then sent to a Marine Base in Afghanistan where, when he wasn't doing his regular job, he drove convoys. The lines have gotten blurred. But BTW, he enjoyed his time over there.
