I worked for Ford Aerospace (purchased by Loral
Aeronutronic and now owned by Lockheed Martin), in Newport Beach where, because
of my petite size and agility, I was an inspector on military tanks. The work
required a Secret Clearance. My job assignment was to guarantee every tank
delivered to the customer complied with the engineering drawings,
specifications and customer requirements. I accomplished this assignment
professionally without intimidation from superiors or fellow workers, sometimes
restricting the delivery of the product because it didn’t comply with all of
the requirements. I was proud to win outstanding achievement awards from the
company and the customer.
