Out of curiousity, whom was this civilian employee employed with? Direct .gov employment or employed with a company that gets contracts?
I'm guessing the poly means former, but I know little of that world.
EDIT: 10 seconds of googling gave me this: http://www.unionleader.com/article/2...late=mobileart

It's been a while, guess I'll be scratching that one from the list. We are sure to have a "Fires, the Workplace and You" awareness brief soon.

Anyone here who has ever been able to do $400,000,000 of damage to anything, by any means, I would love to hear from you.
That's impressive. Now Americans can pony up $5 per family to repair the sub.

UPDATE:
Casey James Fury, 25, was sentenced to 205 months in federal prison Friday morning for setting two fires at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, one of which gutted a U.S. Navy nuclear attack submarine and injured five people.
Fury, who was 24 at the time, was a civilian painter and sandblaster at the Kittery facility when he set fires on May 23 and June 16 of last year. He later admitted to the crimes and told investigators he was suffering from anxiety attacks and set the fires for an excuse to leave work and correspond with his girlfriend.
And good luck with those "anxiety attacks" in prison.

Wonder if his wages will be garnished forever, after he gets out - IF he gets another job.

Oh he's gonna pay according to this article. Might take awhile though  .
Casey James Fury also was ordered to pay $400 million in restitution by a judge who weighed his lack of criminal record and the severity of the fire before imposing a 205-month prison sentence.

Scrapped
He got 17 years in a federal prison and the Navy says it's going to cost too much to repair the sub and that scrapping it is the answer. Needless to say this did not sit well with area politicians. it was estimated the repairs would cost $450,000,000.00 , if the Navy says they can live without it and that the money can be better spent elsewhere that is good enough for me.
