Accomplishments

As for Accomplishments, this is one of my most rewarding for me. I recieved a call on my cell phone from a Gentalmen that introduced himself as Frank (Head of Projects) for Raytheon in Phenix Arizona. Frank asked me if I would be willing to come to the Phenix facility to give him my professional opinon on a proto type project vehical they were working on, and Of coarce I said yes. When I arrived He explaned that they were only weeks from their first test date with the Marines when he started hearing mixed concerns about the design of the chassis and the possiblities of it failing. After signing a few papers, I was finally able to take my first look at this Project. I will say it was a brillant & impressive piece of ingenuity with some clearly amazing capablities. After removing some of the body panels I could see why there were reasons for concern. With over 60% of vehicals weight being battiers centered between the front and rear axles I was sure there was no possible way for a chassis design like this would work under these loads. Luckly for Me, My experience paid off and I had the correct fix that would not only be strong enough to support any additional weight but it would also prove to simplify the design for production, reduce man hours for a small increasing mechine time, simplifying and decrease assembley time.

I really enjoyed being able to be a part of something bigger and maybe making it a little easier for the guys the risk their lives for our Freedom. Thanks
