The Air Force has kicked three contractors off the job after they left their work unfinished on two buildings at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, according to FCW's sister publication Washington Technology. The contractors have been unwilling to provide information on source-code data so officials can fix their work, according to a government document.

The suspended companies are Advanced C4 Solutions, Inc., a Florida-based company, which was the prime contractor, and two subcontractors, Superior Communications Solutions Inc., based on Georgia, and Iron Bow Technologies, based in Virginia.

In 1969 I was in the USAF and tried to crosstrain into the Precision Measurement and Equipment lab career field which was a critical career field and I felt I was qualified. The USAF personnel office said the rate I was in was more critical and crosstraining was denied. Since 1969 I have been following the PMEL afsc and the USAF has wasted untold millions using outside contractors to calibrate the USAF's precision equipment. In 2010 the USAF decided to drop the contractors and use USAF personnel to do the job. Why over a period of 41 years were these contractors not punished and that deserves examination by the Inspecter General. I would have made the USAF a career if I had been allowed to crosstrain and I got out in 1970
