Would like your opinions on amateur licensing someone who had nearly 20
years military experience as a radio operator (in my opinion, a
professional) ? I have worked HF, VHF, UHF, SHF, SATCOM, AM, FM, CW, etc.
I even did some time with Mystic Star for AF One and Two.

Not wishing to belittle your vast experiance and professional abilities, I
believe it is better to be an amateur because the difference, in my opinion,
is that a professional must do what they have to do while following the
rules, while an amateur has the freedom to do whatever he/she likes while
keeping within the rules.
