Many of the summer interns working with me at NAVSEA NSWC-PC had to get new assignments after it became apparent that the security clearance forms that were submitted back in February would not be processed by the time the eight-week program was complete.
Darn backlogs. I just had no idea it was a problem spanning the entire DoD.

To duplicate that capability [in the United States] would require a heck of a capital investment, said Evancoe.”
I disagree, the guys at http://www.robarm.com have operational versions of a similar rifle, they’ve built them in Utah, last time I checked, Utah was part of the United States.
The rifle was rejected on dubious grounds however.
The reason reported by robarm is no longer contained in googles cache.
