I voted a while back.... but had to throw my penny in (with the price of gas, can't afford the other cent)

Started in 98 with the Army - just left the Army after finishing a stint at the schoolhouse (digi-suiter and contractor) now I'm at the Army's Primary lab.

So 10 years I reckon?

Kind of young aren't you? I actually love working with you old guys. 20 yrs exp. for me and you guys can still teach me something.

I just relocated to Texas - new job at my old lab.  I am 51 yrs old and the youngest of the PMEL types.  One of the guys is in his mid 70s and ex-AF PMEL.  He even used to teach it a LONG time ago.  His last name is Barnard.  I won't give any more info on him without asking him first.  So I would guess he has a little more than 50 years experience.  I'll get the scoop (and his permission) and add more later.

[OlDave]

The way my investments are dropping I'll probably be working in MY mid 70s too.
