Wah, not a huge fan of DMM?

No, I'm not. Just resigned, actually.

Hopefully for a better opportunity and not because of silly stuff.

Freegards!

Know some of what my son learns, know a little snipets of what my neice and her husband learn, and what I deal with daily and it's nothing like what we hear in the spews. Perhaps, not all jobs that require a clearance but I would hazard a guess that modt are that way.

It couldn't hurt expose some truth that the presstitutes won't or can't get access to or too lazy to try to learn (too busy looking for the next I hate Bush story).

Tell me about it! Starting my 12th and hopefully final year of it to get the third child through college without her being saddled with HUGE college loan debts to pay off after graduation.

Then I combined the two, and became a rocket surgeon.

LOL!!!

My son will love that one. He's having to reuse engines that were built in the mid-fifties on the vehicles he's being tasked to build.

Re 89 Anyway you look at it, a bargain. Us DoD spending is approximately equal to the defense budget of the rest of the world combined. Either: - The US DoD is hugely inefficient, or - We have no friends. The way things are going, possibly both.

That is why there are so many Starbucks out there. They need to eat too.

Hey, here's a clue. Try paying the engineers a lot more.

There's plenty of demand for engineers in this country and every one knows it. But the second a college student finds out that after taking all the hard classes and working his butt off he'll never make much more than a plummer he looks elsewhere. Well, college students that aren't dumb suckers like I was at least.

When engineers make as much as similarly demanding fields like doctors and lawyers then there will not be a shortage.

May all your children have successful careers, and may they all chip in each year to give you a great vacation.

Both, IMO. There are inefficiencies, of course, lots of them. As for friends, nations have no friends, only interests. And it's in our security interest to be able to ensure our survival in an increasingly dangerous world.
