I got my ticket at 14 in 1996, which led me to a career in the LMR/Telecom world - I have few regrets, my job is close enough to my hobby that it never gets old. I did my extra on a lark without studying for it.
I did end up getting a vanity 1x3 along the way, because my original call was awful, both over phonetics and spoken.
Awesome! I went KB2NDR -> AA2KT (because at the time AA was the hot new prefix for Advanced) and then when vanities came out I grabbed a 1x2 that I’d dreamed of getting had I been licensed in the 70s :)
