Defense Arena Recruiters - F-15 Eagle 40th Anniversary Photos

July 27, 2012 marks the 40th anniversary of the first flight of the F-15 Eagle. The Eagle, four decades later, remains a premier air superiority fighter, delivering valuable service to this country and others worldwide even as its role has evolved over the years. Originally designed as a pure air superiority fighter, the F-15 has maintained that role while adding capabilities, in the shape of the F-15E Strike Eagle and later export versions, that were unforeseen during its successful first flight on July 27, 1972. Along with the U.S. Air Force, it also flies with the air forces of Japan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, South Korea, and Singapore. Kept up to date with new radars, sensors, missiles, engines, and other modifications, the Eagle can go head to head with any fighter on earth. Despite its age and the introduction of replacements such as the F-22, there is no doubt that the F-15 Eagle will be able to keep its talons sharp for some years to come.

I was in Iraq for over 2 year on contract with KBR and DYNCORP. I was recruiting lingusit for subcontractors successfully. Is anyone recruiting for private security personnel?

Not surprisingly...Security Clearance Process Remains “Cumbersome”.

Here are some current searches that I would consider splits with other independent recruiters:
Embedded Real Time Software Engineers
EE analog and digital circuit design
Control System Engineers
Systems Engineers-Military or Avionic Systems
CFO- Must have Defense or Military pricing experience.
