“A little flattery will support a man through great fatigue.”
~ James Monroe
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.
This issue of DEFCON 1 comes to you from the National Order of the Arrow Conference at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan.
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.
I never give out, rent, or sell my list, and neither does Topica.
