[ARC5] Gender, markets and history

[Brian]

Yeah right, Ben,

And of course, these three had final sign-off on WWII purchase decisions. 
They probably weren't even born then.

Perhaps you missed my point about the male chauvinistic product designs the 
military purchased around WWII - which are the sets we started this thread 
with, eg, the S-38 and its clones.

It's much different today...just off the top of my head...

The majority of Army Contracting Officers that I work with are female,
as are a healthy percentage of the Army Contract Specialists I work with.

The current Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics
and Technology is Ms. Heidi Shyu...a female...

Major General N. Lee Price retired as Program Executive Office for
Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T) in September
2013...a female...this is an acquisition PEO...

General Ann E. Dunwoody relinquished command of Army Materiel Command on
7 Aug 2012...last I knew, AMC spent a majority of the Army's procurement
funds...a female...

I can continue, but I think you get my point...

thanks much and 73,
ben, kd5byb
