People do surprising things when they're about to lose a key component to their core operations. Hopefully you get a better offer or a better opportunity outside of DoD.
I'm just tired. Exhausted by red tape and the accelerating decline of our military and our communication systems. My job gets more and more depressing every time I go to a ship. Every once in a great while, I will encounter a good sailor that is receptive to teaching. In 20 years on the ships, there are only two that I would hire. Hundreds of sailors in twenty years and only two that I truly think are capable and have the potential to be my replacement. Since I haven't been traveling, they have been removing the amplifiers and controllers from the ship and shipping them to me to rebuild, troubleshoot, align and ship back. They are coming to me in pieces that look like they have been maintained with a hammer. They are old tech that we have lost the technology and can't replicate it. The designers created a hybrid transformer combining system that works without resistive power loss. Today, we can only make resistive combining that costs 50% of our generated power to combine two signals. It is a shame, but Harris tried to copy the system, but they ended up saying that it was impossible and that it can't possibly work. Funny, it has been working for over 40 years on multiple ships.
