WOO-HOO!!! I got the job!
that sounds like it would be a fairly well paying job, even if it doesn't pay as well as what you ahd before. i've always like the concept of working more hours, fewer days a week. it really gives you more time, as you don't have to work around work all during the week.it sounds liek the less money might be becasue you're working less hours... so it works out from this perspective.

I'll take one the guns used in the movie Men In Black.
And one of those neutralizer things. Anyone gives me any zhit and I'll just zap em with this thing and implant a story I want them to believe to be real.

Congrats!!!
The problem with DOD work, especially missle systems, is HUGE REJECTION rates! But part of our problem was that we took work most refused - and in reality, we should have passed too! 0-1 micron finishes - almost impossible to achieve, and +/- 1-5-million of an inch tolerences.... talk about climate control environments... it was nuts...
We worked with a lot of Kennametal 3109 Carbide (20% cobalt) super fine grain. GE and TOC was two of our biggest customers.
Good Luck, and ENJOY!

Thanks again everyone, but if I told ya what we made, I'd have to drop one on your house LOL!
Actually most are small parts, but they are getting bigger. They don't seem too bad on tolerances. Most are investment cast to basically net shape, with minor machining on 2 sides to clean them up, then protective coated. We have good QC in place. No rejections sent out.
You'd be surprised at what they have in the works now. KEWL stuff! Going to make our troops overseas MUCH safer from snipers.
