How did they propose to get the tank inside the aircraft? (No ramps on anything with its own engines until what??--the C-97?) . . [1] Ah, the days when companies innovated without a govn't contract.
I suppose that depends on the company. At my PPOE, there were several women working part time. One, it seemed, worked half/full time on alternating years, after spending a couple of non-contiguous years on maternity leave. She did quite well. It can be done.
Back in the early '70's when I had a production line, I had several positions covered by two half-day female employees.

You old softie.
Working at a university grad school that is about 40% female, I'd tell her to go for it. But I would add the caveat, that she should do some practical work along the way, Actually build some circuits, learn to use a scope, and hit the EE department up to hire her as a intern or departmental tech assistant etc. Right now I'd guess where I'm at the skilled to unskilled ratio is 1 to 12 or 1 to 15 regardless of male or female. Many of our students have ZERO lab or production time before they get here.
I spend a lot of time teaching screwdriver/hammer/plumbing/soldering skills to students so they can understand their experiments, and the thing that gets people ahead here is a good mastery of the practical world plus the theory.
Get her started in robotics or RC planes or microcontrollers or something, even if its a basic stamp!

I suppose.
Everyone thinks I'm a hard-liner just because I'm death on leftist weenies ;-)
Back in my management days I even forbid arguments/discussions in the workplace about religion or politics, on pain of firing.
And I'm really quite tired of religion being a prime element of the Republican party, and I'm pro-abortion.
So there! I might even vote for Obama if McCain (actually a moderate on social issues) isn't the Republican candidate.
But I can never vote for Shrillary :-(

It's good to see you have come around to my point of view. McCain is my choice so far.
You old closet leftist weenie.
What were they they other half of the day?
McCain is a stand-up guy in my book but I really have a hard time with his inability to say "Wrong war; wrong reason; wrong time".
I find it fascinating that before the rise of the NeoCons, before the Reaganites, Hillary was a Goldwater Republican. I shake my head when I hear someone say "the party of Lincoln" with a straight face these days. The lines have shifted.
There's where we differ... we should have gone in with 5X as many troops, and killed anyone who so much a farted the wrong odor ;-)

Some were home with their children... some were attending community college (which we paid for in our benefits package).

That is the worst piece of s*it I've ever had to pull a wrench on. An aluminum doggy-turd can.

Neither can we leftist weenies...I'd rather have Huckaby. At least the son of a bitch doesn't pull punches and answers his honest heart.
Jim
Huckleberry _honestly_ believes the world is only 6000 years old.

You know you could lie and tell us that she has spent the last 25 years in prison and get almost as much sympathy. ;-)
Who was it that said, "I'll be your huckleberry" ??

She is going to run for office next fall, and she'll win ;-)

Johnny Mercer? Or was that "dingleberry"?

Her parent said she is graduating high school with straight As. I haven't met her yet. But if she is good with the practical side, I might just hire her for the summer.
Yes, for my selfish reason, I will get her to build/program some uC projects.
