I am pretty sure the person that signed off on the decision was a career SES comptroller type, and legal counsel, after the political said make it so. Sure a GS14 BFM hit the go button in the ERP, but this is so out of the ordinary I wouldn’t expect a GS to fight this in any meaningful way

It’s a purity test in the pentagon. I think of it like the inglorious bastards scene with the number three.

It’s a backhanded compliment, and to let her know he knows what she said.

Big issue is you still have to qualify parts so if it isn’t AM printed in the first that’s an issue. Additionally, tolerances vary with machines and types and translating between different PLMs/CAD programs that introduces other issues so there is a significant tail with that as well

Sure, the heads are political appointees but that is even worse because they know even less than the officers.

They never point to the fact that we keep putting the same people in charge of acquisition: military officers.
97% of acquisition is nuts and bolts management of bureaucracy, budgets, and contracts they are not trained very well for, have limited experience, and not a lot of interest.

It’s a valid point on broader tech data issues or getting repair requirements up front. More unsexy sustainment side that no program manager willingly wants to talk about, and no product support manager is empowered to change

Nothing precludes the government from reverse engineering parts, and it is not something that is beholden to IP law in terms of legal liability
Issue with a lot of this is things that are not manufactured via additive manufacturing still require qualification

An additional consumer of top level information to pontificate and talk in abstraction, with a stew of buzzwords used in new and strange ways, is required to acquire capability

I think this was a shrewd move on trumps part. It’s is just going to drive massive amounts of angst within the D party. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social walked right into the trap. Granted, an indictment /= guilt. I am not defending DJT but it’s a flash of political instinct that is unmatched

If you look at it through the view that they don’t actually care if people are getting a good product or the taxpayer isn’t being ripped off it makes sense.
There is also a prevailing sentiment that somehow industry has it figured out and gov folks are morons

I feel like we are confusing some terminology here about vitals and tests and bloodwork.
