I learned to maintain a wild field of view at work and
at play
by Rich F.
I began working at Martin
Marietta in 1985 as an hourly production control expediter on the LANTIRN program.
I later worked in product support for TADS/PNVS. I was known as a sort of “Radar
O’Reilly,” because I was the requisition expediter for worldwide Apache operations,
including Army bases, Special Repair Activities and foreign military service
units. I enjoyed the whirlwind demand for repair parts' and maintenance
compounds. They were vital for keeping the Apache fleet in the air across the
globe. How did I deal with the job stress? I loved to ride my Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
I still put the rubber to the road.
