“Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint action.”
~ John Dewey

Welcome to the latest edition of the number one Defense Career Opportunities Newsletter, “DEFCON-1,” a networking newsletter featuring job opportunities and career advice for those who are part of the global defense, aerospace, maritime, marine technology and security industry. This issue comes to you from San Diego, CA. .

Announcing the new DEFCON 1 website:

http://www.yourdefcon1.com/

When you learn about a job opportunity in the defense sector, such as a position that comes open with your company, you send me the title, organization, location, and a brief description; link; or contact information, and I’ll share. This is a cooperative network. That means everyone’s participation is required to provide job opportunities to share.

Help the network grow. Sign up a friend. They can join for free simply by sending a blank email to DCO-subscribe@topica.com.

Transitioning, or changing your e-mail address? Don't forget to change your DEFCON – 1 subscription. To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail from the old account to DCO-unsubscribe@topica.com. Then a blank e-mail from your new account to DCO-subscribe@topica.com. I cannot do this for you.

I am currently in San Diego. I will be on travel next week in Dubai, Bahrain, Addis Ababa and Djibouti. Your newsletter will probably be delayed or postponed. In fact, you can pretty much count on that.

I never give out, rent, or sell my list, and neither does Topica.
