Few weeks past was order for 77,000. Now this... may be more?
October (October surprise?) or possible a big war kicking off then (possibilities). Another thing was it seems this is being done with haste and urgency versus how these types of orders are typically placed.
Hi Steve,
I am a former military officer. I have a friend who is former military
intel and currently works in metals related to military equipment.
Apparently BAE systems in greater Phoenix is looking to place a rush hire
for 40 workers in their new body armor system (I believe it is called
Dragon). The work would begin at the end of June. It is a 3 month
emergency contract, apparently. As I understand it, each man will work a
40 hour week, and in each 4 hour window about 64 units will be produced
(process has a lot of automation in it). Well, if I did my math right,
that equates to, in a week (40 guys working 40 hours = 1600 hours worked).
Then divide by 4 (4 hour production window as mentioned) comes to 400. 400
multiplied by 64 = 25600 per week. Per it is a 3 month contract 12 weeks
times 25600
= 307200. This equates to what, about 30 divisions worth oftroops (or perhaps well armed LEO's)? We talked a bit about what this
means, but it means October (October surprise?) or possible a big war
kicking off then (possibilities). Another thing was it seems this is being
done with haste and urgency versus how these types of orders are typically
placed. Any way you slice it, not good. God bless you Sir!
