Manuver and fire commands are forever in my brain. I would have to get spun up on the new technology but not as hard as when we did the 19E to 19K transition. I think some of the CDAT (computerized dumb ass tankers) have the tech as a crutch. Relying on BFT rather than a map for C2.

Physically, at 55, would be tough but mentally I am positive that I would complete it. I&#39;m sure the radios (I was slotted as 18E) are different but I wouldn&#39;t see that as a big obstacle.
