This issue of DEFCON-1 comes to you from Las Vegas, Nevada.
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
