DEFCON 1 will take a few weeks off.  I’ll be in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />Wyoming necxt week, doing volunteer service at Bridger-Teton National Forest.  On 4 August I will be at the USCGC Bertholf commissioning in Alameda, California.  When I get back her to the DEFCON 1 operations center I’ll start working on assembling the 13 August issue. 

 

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.

***  Fellow Marquette grad, Phi Kappa Theta brother and shipmate Rick Strutner sent me this:

 

Thanks to Cal Bagby for forwarding this… Please take a moment to read. It's important because we need to truly understand the effects of war on the families of our young Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines. I have been a CACO… it is the absolute “worst” duty in the world. I would rather stand a month of consecutive (back-to-back) mid-watches. It is heart-wrenching…

 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/04/AR2008070402086.html

 

(Thanks for sharing this, Rick.  I'm posting in my Defense Career Opportunities Newsletter tomorrow, then at www.yourdefcon1.com.

 

I, too, have been a CACO.  And I escorted my XO's remains from Hickham AFM to Philadelphia when I was an Ensign.  In the TWA cargo terminal at PHL I saw two young men laughing.  One points to the casket and says, “Hey look, a stiff!”  I walked over to them in my dress blues and held out the flag I was carrying home to LT. Chris Rinko's family and said, “Would you please help me place this over the casket?”

 

That shut them up.)

6 Bells Author Event

A Sailors History of the U.S. Navy with author Tom Cutler

 

Adopted by the U.S. Navy for issue to all new Sailors, A Sailor’s History of the U.S. Navy brings to life the events that have shaped and inspired the Navy of today while highlighting the roles of all Sailors—from seaman to admiral. Rather than focus entirely upon such naval icons as Stephen Decatur and Chester Nimitz, as most histories do, author Thomas J. Cutler, a retired lieutenant commander and former second class petty officer, brings to the forefront the contributions of enlisted people. You’ll read about Quartermaster Peter Williams, who steered the ironclad Monitor into history, and Hospital Corpsman Tayinikia Campbell, who saved lives in USS Cole after she was struck by terrorists in Yemen.

 

As Cutler states in his preface, the book is not a whitewash.  He includes mistakes and defeats along with the achievements and victories as he draws a portrait of a Navy growing stronger and smarter while turning tragedy into triumph.  The result is a unique account that captures the Navy’s heritage as much as its history and provides inspiration as well as information while emphasizing that most essential element of naval history:  the Sailor.

 

 

All events and programs at the U.S. Navy Museum are free and open to the public, but reservations to (202) 433-6897 are encouraged to get onto the Washington Navy Yard.  Learn more about the U.S. Navy Museum at www.history.navy.mil

***  Fellow Marquette grad, Phi Kappa Theta brother and shipmate Rick Strutner sent me this:

 

Thanks to Cal Bagby for forwarding this… Please take a moment to read. It's important because we need to truly understand the effects of war on the families of our young Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines. I have been a CACO… it is the absolute “worst” duty in the world. I would rather stand a month of consecutive (back-to-back) mid-watches. It is heart-wrenching…

 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/04/AR2008070402086.html

 

(Thanks for sharing this, Rick.  I'm posting in my Defense Career Opportunities Newsletter tomorrow, then at www.yourdefcon1.com.

 

I, too, have been a CACO.  And I escorted my XO's remains from Hickham AFM to Philadelphia when I was an Ensign.  In the TWA cargo terminal at PHL I saw two young men laughing.  One points to the casket and says, “Hey look, a stiff!”  I walked over to them in my dress blues and held out the flag I was carrying home to LT. Chris Rinko's family and said, “Would you please help me place this over the casket?”

 

That shut them up.)

6 Bells Author Event

A Sailors History of the U.S. Navy with author Tom Cutler

 

Adopted by the U.S. Navy for issue to all new Sailors, A Sailor’s History of the U.S. Navy brings to life the events that have shaped and inspired the Navy of today while highlighting the roles of all Sailors—from seaman to admiral. Rather than focus entirely upon such naval icons as Stephen Decatur and Chester Nimitz, as most histories do, author Thomas J. Cutler, a retired lieutenant commander and former second class petty officer, brings to the forefront the contributions of enlisted people. You’ll read about Quartermaster Peter Williams, who steered the ironclad Monitor into history, and Hospital Corpsman Tayinikia Campbell, who saved lives in USS Cole after she was struck by terrorists in Yemen.

 

As Cutler states in his preface, the book is not a whitewash.  He includes mistakes and defeats along with the achievements and victories as he draws a portrait of a Navy growing stronger and smarter while turning tragedy into triumph.  The result is a unique account that captures the Navy’s heritage as much as its history and provides inspiration as well as information while emphasizing that most essential element of naval history:  the Sailor.

 

 

All events and programs at the U.S. Navy Museum are free and open to the public, but reservations to (202) 433-6897 are encouraged to get onto the Washington Navy Yard.  Learn more about the U.S. Navy Museum at www.history.navy.mil
