As somebody who is in potentially sensitive areas, it would be wise to scrub stuff you are posting on the public internet.
Dat's all I'm sayin'
Pretty sure they teach you that in OPSEC or whatever military equivalent that is.

So how did you get that gig? I always wondered how people got into DOD Contracting. I know some or most are Ex Military but how does a civilian qualify?

Oh and it is OPSEC.
Oh work for GD..Where out of? I know most guys who are in Hood that work with tanks.
Next question are you the typical ***** civilian that comes over seas and thinks the military guys owe you something? Why you do jack ****.

So that's pretty much where I started out, but when defense spending became murky under our current administration, the military got quiet with funding future projects. So I left GD and ended up at Intel here in Chandler.

It's mostly about who you know, and how good you are at your job. I'm a Software Engineer by trade, and about 3-4 years ago, they couldn't find enough Software Engineers to man projects. Everyone has to be a U.S. citizen, and able to obtain clearance if it's needed. Not very easy for China or India to take those jobs

Ft. Hood cut a lot of jobs on post. Slowly hiring them back.

Understand what you saying. But it really not that big deal. If i was at a secret base taking pictures would be a bigger deal. Everyone knows where we are. We have Iraq's that live embedded with us. We have huge walls/gates in the middle of no where. They know we are here.

And I no, I don't think anybody in uniform owes me anything. I got paid and helped make a product of war. The end.
For the record, all the FSRs were cool as **** that I worked with.

I used to work in Scottsdale at the C4S plant. Land Warrior testing was mainly done with the 4th Stryker brigade out of Ft. Lewis, but there were/are other units that are interested in the technology.

You meet a lot civilians here that try treat the soldiers like ****. Like we owe them something. Some of them do a lot here to help certain things but a lot of them act like it is awful when they have to work. That just what we have ran into. I know it not all them.
