Mike, if you cared so much about this then why did you not make a bigger stink when you were on the coast guard program. It is a good thing that LM let go such a deceitful and malevolent individual. Do you think anyone would want to hire a person who undermines national security? I can only hope that you and the people you dealt with are brought to justice. Thanks a lot for compromising our national security.

Over a 3 year period I went thru evrry chain in Lockheed , thru 3 ethics investigations, to the CEO and the Board of Directors. Then I went to the CG Commandant, the CO of the Boats, Navy, NSA, congress and the senate and the DHS IG.

Deceiptful and malevolent - that would depend on whether I was right or wrong.

On undermining security. Would you rather I stopped before making the video? That way these boats would continue to put the crews, public and other gov't agencies at risk?

Not to digress, but 1000s of soldiers went to Vietnam with rifles that did not work, because someone was a friend and contributor to a high-level Senator or Congressman in Appropriations.

When is your next update? I want to know what has happened to you and to the situation you have brought forth.  Thanks much!

Your character is more valuable than a winning powerball ticket or a fat government contract. God bless you sir! I have no doubt you will be successful in what ever path your journey takes you. Thank you for letting people know what's going on and please keep us updated. You may have saved lives and military secrets by bring this to public attention.

What happens with this guy will be interesting...will another defense company be likely to hire someone like this -who isn't afraid of losing his job to tattle? I think he's unemployed now and will have to settle for much less pay as he sets up his whistleblower website. Will he sue? I think Congress should have a whistleblower protection act for contractors - I'm pretty sure the one enacted now is only for government employees.

So you were deemed to be "high maintenance"? This country needs more high maintenance guys like you.  Any maintenance costs for your type will no doubt pale in comparison to the costs in national treasure, national security, and even lives that will be incurred without enough courageous Americans like you.

You are doing a fantastic job! You are an inspiration to all of us! Keep going and continue to lead the charge.

Your ethic and bravery is on the endangered list, please have more children , your race needs to be propagated. We need more people like you during sorry state of union at this point of our history.God bless you .

Let me digress a bit further....They are half ass....but things end up getting fixed after they bitch and moan because of people like Michael. People need to be more aware and conscious with concerns to information assurance.
