Yes. About 65 miles, in Killeen.

Not sure what your point is, though.

I was project manager on a small project for the military. It was budgeted at 30 million dollars and ran for two years.

I looked at the initial project plan the military drew up and laughed. I told the government rep I can do this project in under 18 months and bring it in for under 20 million. He told me use the fill 30 million.

I finished the project in 15 months and final project cost was 10 million, with a higher quality metric. In corporate America this makes me a rock star. In the military, I cheated the company hired to do the work out of 20 million dollars.

The sad part about all of this was I pleaded with the company to do the 30 million as fixed price and they said no because they anticipated it would take longer than two years and 30 million dollars.

Needless to say, they didn’t hire me for any additional work.
