I’m not so sure a Ranger needs 6x6, they seem to be getting the job done just fine without.

Ummm... was this the intended title?

Recycled rebar is too rich for the specification. TV trays and GM truck bumpers will have to do. 

Yup.

Talking to my dad who worked for the D.O.D. on subs until the 90s. His response was he part of a project where they needed to do sampling of castings for material issues. He is sure this is what it was, had no idea someone was forging the data and that was why they were testing.

Absolutely insane. 

At first I was thinking that maybe there was pressure to produce that came from the either her employer or the navy but this
