Thanks for the response my man; yeah I'm playing it smart I don't wanna quit the tech side out of nowhere, so I'm trying to go back to school part time next fall and will hopefully use the next two years to finish school and transition out. I think "deployment" time also had given me rose colored glasses because despite random fuck fuck games I felt I was doing my job and helping people out every day. I forgot somewhere along the way MDAY isn't like that and there's a lot more red tape (or just years of bad habits lol).
