Perhaps you're right. The follow-on Boeing gigs have really sharpened up that company...getting that talent even earlier ought to really pay off for the civilian sector.
Same folks who've "led" for Iraq, Afghanistan, Houti bombings I, managing the procurement of a new AF1, T-7, M10 "Booker" not a tank tank, LCS class ships, Boeing space capsule, no food at US Army posts, black mold in barracks, so much time on DEI, renaming installations, etc, etc, etc.
Finest kind, I believe is the phrase.
