The U.S. Government Accountability Office has criticized the way the Marine Corps is sharing the lessons it learned from deploying the F-35B overseas with other services.

An unclassified version of a GAO report says these lessons are “not currently shared or made available across the F-35 program.”
“Instead, Marine Corps officials stated that they currently rely on personal relationships to share lessons learned with other services, through methods such as phone calls to colleagues in the Air Force or the Navy.”
The same report also touched on the service’s “challenges with the F-35’s supply chain since beginning flight operations,” said Bloomberg.
Very unprofessional,
When I was on active duty and had to talk to higher headquarters on anything performance related to our assigned F-15C and F-15E aircraft it was always on a STU phone.
