“We are reformers in the spring and summer, but in autumn we stand by the old. Reformers in the morning, and conservers at night.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

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. DEFCON 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.

*** From Connie Mayse:

Hi, Ned. I thought of you yesterday when I took a wrong turn during my commute and ended up driving around the US Naval Station Great Lakes (North Chicago, IL), which includes the largest naval training center. Go out to dinner in the Waukegan-Gurnee area (pronounced gur-NEE for you non-natives) any Friday and you'll see fresh-faced sailors enjoying a celebratory meal with their families. Every Friday is graduation day at Great Lakes.

Thanks for the link to the story about Holly Graf, the female Captain Bligh. Not unlike some dry-docked managers I have known, managing by intimidation and fear. Three cheers for the brave souls who complained!

Thanks, Ned. Have a great day-cj
