“Humor is reason gone mad.”
– Groucho Marx

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. DECFON 1 brings you job opportunities every week, and counts on members like you to submit job listings to share and post in this newsletter.

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

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.

*** Navy Memorial To Collect “Stories of Service”

Calling all Sea Service veterans! Be a part of history! Tell us your story! “Stories of Service” (www.stories-of-service.org) preserves the personal, first-person stories of veterans in the form of multimedia Digital Stories. They provide volunteers with information on how to conduct good interviews, create scripts and produce an edited, short-form video. The Navy Memorial is partnering with Stories of Service to interview Sea Service veterans this summer. Stories of Service has trained our interns to produce these videos, which will be posted on The Navy Log Community (www.navylogcommunity.org).

To have your Story preserved for history, call Taylor Kiland at (202) 380-0718 or tkiland@navymemorial.org. Interviews will be conducted on Tuesdays and Thursdays , 12-2 p.m., in person at the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. We do not currently have the resources to conduct interviews in other locations. There is no charge for this service, but donations are appreciated.

*** From Larry Bearfield in Carlisle, Mass. See the photos I took of the memorial at www.yourdefcon1.com.

On Sunday afternoon, June 28, the Town of Carlisle dedicated our new Veterans' Honor Roll Memorial. It is splendid in its design, elegant in its simplicity and powerful in the statement that it makes to all – especially to future generations. We are proud that it now holds a permanent and significant position on our Town Common.

I was proud to serve on the committee as Chairman of the Dedication Ceremony. During a lull in the weather patterns, before a crowd of 300+ we honored 296 Carlisle veterans in a dignified, solemn and respectful ceremony. With a backdrop of a huge American flag hanging from our Fire Department's ladder truck, Lt. Gen. Ted Bowlds, Hanscom AFB served as our guest speaker. Soloists sang The Star Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful, Boy Scouts led the Pledge of Allegiance, the names on the Honor Roll were read off – with many in the audience calling out “Present!” – our Carlisle Minutemen Company fired rounds of honor followed by the playing of taps with an echo from the other side of the hill. It was all very powerful and emotional.

But leading off the memorable day, were Sailors from the USS Constitution who served as Color Guard for the entire ceremony. In their crisp whites, with solemn faces and with absolute precision, they deserve a Bravo Zulu for the tone they set for the entire ceremony.

All my best,

Larry

*** From Mar-Ex News:

On June 09, 2009 at around 1400 hrs in calm sea state, AD22 launched its Starboard lifeboat with a crew compliment of 7 persons for a periodic sea trial test. The lifeboat was successfully launched and sailed for 20 minutes. At the conclusion of the test, the lifeboat was re-connected to the davit pendant lines for recovery and stowing. After doing a short load test out of the water, the boat was winched / hoisted by the crew. When the lifeboat was approximately 2 feet from stowing position, the aft pendant hook inadvertently released causing the lifeboat to swing on the foreword pendant, which also released causing the lifeboat to fall in the sea from a height of 65 feet.

The investigation to determine the cause of the accidental release in progress. One person been declared dead upon arrival to the hospital, one in critical condition, and five with various injuries.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:

Hi, Edward!

I thought I would take a moment to reach out to you and see if any of
your contacts have jobs in San Diego. I moved here in the Fall from
the DC area. It may be the Sunshine State but it's dreary in the job
department.

For the past three years I worked as a Program Account Manager for
Summit Marketing, a national promotional marketing company. I managed
several e-Stores for major clients such as Geico, The Melting Pot
restaurant, Deltek and All Risks, Ltd. As Program Manager I ordered
inventory, sourced products, managed the back-end of websites, wrote
product descriptions, photographed merchandise, hosted clients during
tradeshows, handled invoicing and served as the main point of contact
for all clients. These responsibilities taught me how to analyze my
target audience. I learned how to research promotional products that
would best suit their needs, whether it be for use at tradeshows,
events or employee gifts. I worked under tight deadlines, within
strict budgets and built strong relationships with clients.

Prior to my experience as a Program Manager, I interned for United
States Postal Service for two years. This provided me the opportunity
to hone my writing skills. I wrote and edited articles for a daily
newsletter which was sent to all Postal employees. Not only did I
learn how to work efficiently under tight deadlines, but also how to
write in a clear, concise and engaging manner.

I am very organized, results-driven, have strong writing and
communications skills and the ability to absorb information quickly.
This position is one in which I am very capable of and I have a
genuine desire to excel.

Sincerely,

Wendy Northrop (wendy4374@aol.com)
