Well I guess misery loves company because it makes me feel better that us "colonists" ;) aren't the only ones making stupid decisions. I don't think it's contracted to a foreign country but I'm willing to bet that the military is still using all the same old equipment, still paying to maintain but paying civilians to run it all at 2-3 times the going pay of a Soldier. Not sure how it makes sense but someone made it sound like it did.
On the bright side, I have (or at least will be receiving) my own lathe, I got orders to Florida where an excellent machinist/gunsmith will be more than happy to teach me and I found this place to help me learn and share my projects!!
