That is correct. I have 4 years total in country (04-06 and 08-Present) as a contractor maintaining communications systems for the Air Force. If you need CAS, I'm one of the many guys in the chain who make it happen.
And yes, I'm already suffering from info overload. I find myself reading a dozen or so threads and looking up what I've read, then washing, rinsing, and repeating. Fortunately, time is on my side for once.
