at your money's worth out of the Manhattan Project, but you know quite frankly we are at a time in our history right now where the site is being rejuvenated at a pace that we haven't seen.

Certainly since the Manhattan Project through the Cold War today,

we are at a confluence of increased production due to world events. At the same time, we're still cleaning up the legacy from the

Cold War and modernizing the site all at the same time in the same footprint.

That's really the mission of Y-12. The mission of Y-12 for those sailors, for those airmen, for those

pilots, right, is to take, you know, have no doubt, have complete confidence in the product

that we deliver. It's zero defect. All they have to do is do

their job. We've already done ours, right? The thing that's on the pointy end of

the spear will absolutely work and that's where you get deterrence, right?

So again, that's where you get deterrence right?

So, yeah, let's on next day, I'm sure, 16, and 10,000

and I'll give you some of that.

What everyone's talking to me?

Thanks for taking the time to sit down and chat.

I'm interested to hear a little bit more about

your past and what you're doing here today and Y12 and Oak Ridge. So thanks for taking the time, sir.

All right, well, thanks for coming here here so a little bit about my pass so I spent

27 and a half years in the nuclear Navy driving submarines for a living after

graduating from West Virginia University as a mechanical engineer.

So, you know, from there, retired about 11 years ago now,

and came to East Tennessee where I started my journey here at the Y-12 National Security Complex.

So of course Y-12's been around for quite some time.
