Am old family relation was a 'nuclear submarine guy' ... I could never get him to tell me anything about it, lol - secret stuff.
Sounds like you've had some interesting career shifts! Software guys like me seem to get pigeon holed - its tough to get out. I havn't really re-focused on anything after my last layoff a few years back - coding burnout is indeed a thing - at least for coding on other people's schedules and stuff you don't care about. I can't seem to stop though - I just don't get paid for now, heh. Maybe its just a thing that happens to folks in their 50s regardless of the job... lots of folks in my age group I know all hate their jobs. All the new AI stuff is turning the software industry on its head lately - and people who like 'the craft' and the process of creating are finding it difficult - I suppose its much like the industrial revolution when individually hand crafted stuff was replaced by machines and assembly line.
What is the "CCC List" ? I don't recall running across that yet.
