[BC] Matching jobs and engineers

[Ronald J. Dot'o Sr.]

I used to work with an AF Reservist avionics tech back in '96 who told 
me that all that the techs do these days is change out black boxes and 
send them in to a central repair facility.  So much for real 
technicians!    A stockboy at the supermarket could do that!

When I joined the AF in1960 they sent me to ECM maintenance school 
which took us from DC through microwave in theory and then hands on 
training on the sets we'd be working on in the field.

I guess it's cheaper than training the troops and supplying test eqt. 
at each base, but still...

  He's had to go out himself with all 8 stripes, to fix some things 
that I used to fix in the AF 40 years ago when I only had three 
stripes or less.
