How many different names has that place been? Is it true that the company that builds our military equipment is owned in part by a party in china?

i've never heard it called anything i don't think besides general dynamics, well, actually the generic term up here is the tank plant. my neighbor is one of the test driver's there, you might know him, he goes by Turtle. don't know his real name though. i've got lots of friends that work there actually, i even was trying to get in at one time while i worked for Crown Equipment.

Tom, sometimes I feel like I am dealing with Kindergardeners... Other times, I think that the folks that I deal with might learn a thing or two from Kindergardeners...

There have been far more than just a few days where I wished that I had YOUR job.

kb9qdi: assuming that is an amature radio callsign...?

This is always a fun thread... anyone else?

So you do by chance know a guy who worked there over the summer and was an engineer? He went to Ohio Northern and his name is Whit. Unless there are two General Dynamics Land Systems.

It has been tuff at work the past couple of day's playing in the sand on 3 to 1 slopes

I'm a project engineer for an automotive proving grounds, setting up various types of durability and dynamics test for different companies...everybody from major automotive manufacturers, the government, tier 1 suppliers, down to some guy building a device in his basement (i.e. stuff like that "Tornado" thingy you put in the air intake tube). Our company also does crash testing and emissions work, but that's a different department. I've spent the most time working on fuel economy tests recently for obvious reasons.

PSH... who needs a degree, lol.

I'm a tech for FujiFilm, I usually am fixing machines around the tristate area but lately I have been traveling all over the country telling people that their labs look like crap.
