Ha.. Kind of the same story on my end - I was a switch tech in the Airforce and had to take care of all the circuits & swith, main frame dumb terminals, and blah, blah,... Because I was an installation crew chief before I started doing regular base comm work I was considered a System integrator...
I think i was eating a tunafish sandwich when that exact same thing happened to me - Somebody can in and said we need a guy who knows compute & network to do X, Y, Z
... Aw hell ... here we go again...
The engineering and Rome labs guys kept pushing me to get out and get my engineering degree so I jumped out.
40 years later I retired from writing the standards on the crap we did way, way back when.
Funny part is the young guys tend to know what they read (or more frequently google), but not where it came from or why- so when it has to be modified.... what do they call it now “fast fail”... LOL
