5. Newspaper Articles: Jun 2004, Lockheed Aeronautics, Lancaster, Los Angeles, California. From Lockheed Newsletter, June 2004:

The Aeronautics Star is printed for readers like John Yocom, perhaps better known at Site 2 as John FOD. John joined Lockheed in 1970 and since then has worked on the L-1011, F-117, A-4 and P-3, and subsequently transferred to the U-2 program where he first worked as a mechanic and then became a crew chief in production flight and flight test. Following his recovery from serious accident in January 2001, he returned to Site 2 as the Tool Control FOD Coordinator to oversee FOD control on the U-2 program.

"FOD is a very serious issue. In our business, it's one of the most critical things we have to think about on a daily basis. It boils down to eliminating risk to the lives of men and women - it's a feeling I can't describe other than 'gut wrenching'. To eliminate FOD is everyone's duty - to accept responsibility to constantly step up the standard to ensure we stop FOD. Our customers deserve nothing less. It's a reputation we need to uphold, and it's critical to the company's bottom line."

Known for his vigilance on FOD awareness and prevention, John's co-workers convinced him to have his badge name changed to read JOHN FOD. Site 2 can boast more than 15 FOD-free years. Incidentally - John is not related to Mammy (Pansy) and Pappy (Lucifer) Yokum, the staple characters in Al Capp's popular Li'l Abner comic strip from the early '40s.

6. Retired: 2005, Palmdale, Los Angeles, California.
