Marines are getting a jumpjet variation that will use a ducted turbofan for vertical takeoff and landing.

I'd still rather have an F22. That's the one only the US gets to play with.

almost worked for L3 in Arlington TX, but I declined the offer, a few yrs back.
I had a better offer on the table, but yeah, background check and security clearance had to be done and they told me they work with military secrets all the time. kool.
then I almost accepted an offer for Boeing in Richardson TX, where they work with Homeland security dept on high tech applications and data aggregations... I chose to work with Healtcare applications, there's always money there in that industry, I heard Boeing cut many jobs 6 months after I almost joined, not sure about L3.. but defense and gov funded are tricky companies.
