We all slip dates a little, I'll grant you that. But to say that
defense work is more disciplined in meeting schedules than the
commercial arena? Bullfeathers.
Ahem...what's this "We all slip dates a little" paleface*?
I do Responses to RFP and RFBs and everything I write is against a bid deadline.
If you miss a deadline by minutes...don't bother sending it.
* it's an old joke...if you haven't heard it, let me know and I'l send a
