Not a CUCV, but it could have been ordered by the military.
Very True. Each division of the Military could order what they wanted. The CUCV as we know it, was a complete Federal contract as the gubment does when they take bids on planes or aircraft. So if they want 100 tanker planes that will be a gubment contract through the Pentagon, but if an Army officer wanted a Leer Jet to fly around in he can order that separately. Of course, that's a bad example cuz that won't happen.
I got the ex a job with a Boeing after I educated her. This is where she met all her married tricks and why we're now divorced. But, I used to get to see some of these bids, contracts and all the work that went into putting together and offer, down to the graphics artists work, all the pages and bound into books and then 100+ or how many ever were made to go to all the necessary parties in the Pentagon. We had lunch with some pretty damn big wigs in the US military. She was not in the commercial division. She was BAO, Boeing Aerospace Operations. One of the 2 year projects I got to see some of for example was the 767 Tanker plane proposal. Boeing got the conract on that one after about a year or more of putting the proposal together. Somewhere in mid 2003 If IIRC for a 100 plane lease. And what they actually are is converted commercial planes, NOT new planes from the ground up. I was a phone call away from being Hired to work in a different building as a Procurment ageint on the TACAMO (Take Charge and Move Out) program. A 727 converterd commercial plane for the US Navy communications. The plane would drag 2 antennas, 1 of them being about a mile long that would drag in the ocean and be able to communicate with underwater submarines. The actual day my offer letter was being typed up, 911 happened, and an instant hiring freeze happened that same day. It was so fugged up. Yeah, Al Quaida fugged me hard core. I wanted that job so bad, and I had it.
