George Simmons Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Why do they have to be geeks to qualify? Wouldn't just being female be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I followed right behind him building missiles, rockets and I even went a bit further by building that unmentionable word in airports(and other locations) that starts with a B, ends in a B, and has that OM(inous) sound in the middle for US military applications.:shock:Which that laast one was kind of funny when someone would ask me what type work I did and I'd bluntly state, I build bombs for US Military Applications, most often I'd get stopped before I could finish the sentence after I build bombs.... with "You buikld what? Bombs?" and I'd have to say, if you had let me finish the sentence you'd know I was doing this for OUR MILITARY, I'm working for a company that builds and supplies them to our troops. And no, I don't do any of this stuff on my time or in my house! That just ain't ever gonna happen!!!Built rounds for several miluitary ground wweapons as well, like the M-15.Can't forget the Chess Club and Science Club in school either!Okay, back to the original topic, where are all the women? I think we've hijacked this thread enough.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caniac Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I was more of a motor head in high school. My big dream back then was to buy a Ford PInto and drop a small block V8 in with racing slicks on the back. didn't realize that it all cost money to do!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Jeff Millard wrote: What? They don't like NASA?!?JeffYes, they did. I just associated NASA under the Sci-Fi arena, since a lot of people, believe it or not, believe that NASA is a just a glorified Sci-Fi production facility! Even though I know it isn't, Late grandfather and father both worked there. And as I was growing up, a lot of what they did was always classifgied as "sci-fi" by a lot of my friends when I'd tell them of things that was going on. 'Course back in the late 60's and early 70's, a lot of this stuff we do today would definitely have been classified Science Fiction! Now it's a reality!Unhijacking this thread now....

cenote Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 my better half is here, she just doesn't post. But I have found her "secretly" on her laptop clicking my bookmarks and browsing some of these forums. She actually loves to do the sequencing, and is a huge help come October.
