  1. I spent 47 years in the screw business. I bolted in '21. Nobody hexxed me during my tenure either. I was slotted for retirement years before I got my retirement head together. And wasn't too torqued off when I left.

  3. What do they do with the loose screws in the Corps? Does the DS have to tighten them up a second time?

  4. The government doesn't buy mere screws, because those wouldn't be expensive enough.
    The government buys fully-slotted, fiber-intrusive, constant-pitch, material-securing units.
