    Wow?? Usually for govt. contracts they want prior military guys who worked on the stuff while they were in. That's got to be the first I've heard of them going with a complete civillian company.

    Onyl reason we did get the contract is cause of the company name that has been around for 60 + yrs . Also we have work sites all over the world that work on Military/Govt product. Yes we got lucky that we all got to stay and have a job.

    Yeah, if the company already has or have had govt. contracts then they'll still deal with ya. Well as long as your company didn't try to screw them over before.

    Funny you say that cause when i had to travel to Puerto Rico, it was basically a "do what you can to save them so they wont get shut down" However when i got there, they were so damn lost and far behind So they lost the contract renewal and that site will close probably around Sept.

    At our site we cant cheat them even if we tried/wanted to.Govt has 2 of there people on site all day everyday and before we can even work on anything (even if we need to change a screw) we have to go find one of them, have them look at it and get the "OK" before we can touch it. STUPID

    Not to mention the doubles, and triples of the paperwok.

    I used to work for Lockheed-Martin. We were a field operations on a Navy base and also had a govt. rep on site with us. The reason Lockheed had the contract is because of a previous company (Cubic Corporation) raked the govt. out of additional 3 million a year. They got busted and to this day won't get another govt. contract.

    When the companies get tired of competing against each other they either merge or buy each other out. That's how I became associated with Lockheed. When I first started it was Ford Aerospace. Then Loral electronics bought them out and took over. Then Lockheed merged with Loral. It'll give you a headache trying to keep up.
