SYRACUSE, N.Y. The Syracuse area is getting 500 new jobs as Lockheed Martin gears up for military contracts worth hundreds of (m) millions of dollars. That's according to several Syracuse media outlets, which are reporting that Lockheed will hire up to 500 new engineers next year at its radar and sonar design facility in Salina.
Lockheed officials are only confirming that they will be making an announcement tomorrow about new jobs, with New York Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton scheduled to attend.
Last year, Lockheed landed a 413 (m) million-dollar contract to build the next generation of radars for the Navy's E-2-C Hawkeye patrol plane. In October, the company received a 625 (m) million-dollar contract to design radars for a new air defense system that will replace the Patriot and Hawk missile systems.
Lockheed currently employs about 22-hundred workers at its complex in Salina, just north of Syracuse.
Yesterday at a veterans facility in Putnam County... tomorrow at Lockeed Martin cheering on a military contract.
Hillary Rodham Clinton... the best friend the military EVER had!
I work at another Lockheed Martin plant in NY. I remember 2 years ago when she was scheduled to visit it was by invitation only to the employees. By the time she came for the visit, the execs were combing the halls looking for ANY employees to attend her visit.
She has nothing to do with LM contract winnings ... she just likes to take credit for them.
Did they vote for or against the funding?
shes such a T R O L L
A Dem Administration would be making spitballs or did she forget about Flapjack Kerry!!
It's time to strategically apply Eisenhower's warning against a military-industrial complex ....and we MUST prevent Adolf Hillary from coming to power....
'Tis the season (snort)

This woman would have no problem in committing the US in a 'real', wrong-war-at-the-wrong-time. She'd be like LBJ back in Vietnam... pointing out where the Air Force should drop its bombs.
I firmly believe that she would also let our military be under the control of the UN in a conflict.

Sheesh! Hitlery is as bad as Donald Trump wanting that publicity.
I thought that the Hawk Missile System had been retired many years ago. Doesn't the Patriot do all the SAM work now?
Sea Sparrow is still operational. USNavy & NATO.
