Lol, I retired in ‘15. Just when they started talking about pronouns and attendance in diversity training.
dodged a bullet. I say things they would find inappropriate..

Most of my friends were out by '12 or so. They can't believe what's going on. Now, even the contractors, like Raytheon and the above pictured Lockheed, have these DEI memos and meetings.

Somehow I don't think Kalashnikov or Norinco care about pronouns.

For the record, "DEI" will always be "Dale Earnhardt Inc." to me. Not even a NASCAR fan, but a car guy.

things Internal Combustion are fascinating. So glad Harrah's still had the Car warehouses open last time up in Reno. Got to see the 6 foot tall wagon wheeled Huppmobile Old Man Mac told us about, riding North in it on Old 395 when it was dirt, Pops taking the Fam on a High Sierra fishing trip, back in the day.

Plus an air cooled rear flat engine vehicle that had a stationary crankshaft, the motor rotated to provide cooling. All gone now.. Sad day when that closed.

Had come through Yosemite, up over and down the hill. Fan clutch went out in Reno. As a rule, ran Aux cooling fans on all my vehicles. Saved my ass. R&R fan clutch. But. The motor did succumb, outside of Lancaster, lost all Oil pressure, 105 out, realized motor toast, not stopping! LOL! 17 more miles to town, Last Gasp, Died once up onto the U-Haul trailer!

Then Wifey, Woke up, post lost bearing, "Why are we going so slow?" "And, WHAT is that noise??!"

"Oh, that noise?" " THAT, My Dear, is the sound of mechanical failure..".

I had to send that first picture with LockheedMartin to several of my friends that work there.

One friend said "yea, we are going to stop making missiles & rockets with pointy ends and start making them look like dildos."

Kind of sad. My grandfather was a machinist/supervisor Aerojet, Rocketdyne and some others. Basically, companies that made cool stuff in the 60's. I have to wonder what he'd think. He wore a collared shirt and tie to work, clean shaven dressed how I feel is professional. Now, a male can have a beard, wear a dress and heels...

My dads first job right when he got out of the Air Force was with a company that had just built a complex out here for rockets. Some guy named Glenn Martin that built air planes got into the aerospace business and, the foothills of Colorado was a secure place to build & test them.

Dad started as a propulsion engineer on a new rocket they were going to build out here. The Titan.

Same thing, dad wore a suit & tie to work. Have an old picture of him at Rocketdyne with a new rocket they were building and Martin was the lead contractor for the Air Force. It was to replace the Titan. The MX. (same boosters used for the shuttle in later years) Dad is standing at the top by the nose cone with a bunch of Air Force brass and technicians and there is dad in his suit & tie.

Dad is probably rolling over in his grave.

grandfather as an engineer for hughes and trw in that timeframe(collered too)......he was a no nonsense guy, you have a job, do it to your best
focus on the job at hand......no nonsense people back then
he refused to eat fried chicken with his hands, knife and fork..........different breed from now
