Joe Rodriguez reposted thisJoe Rodriguez reposted thisKicked off this super charged week with the NDIA First Coast Chapter Defense Roundtable! It was filled with ENERGY, IDEAS, OPPORTUNITIES, and COLLABORATION. The highly informative briefs from Harrison Conyers (Mayor’s Office), David Norquist (NDIA CEO), Capt. Jeffrey Flumignan (NDTA), Chris Budihas (Keystone Heights Innovation & Defense Campus), Northeast Florida Regional Council, Congressman Rutherford, and regional base commanders set the stage for an action filled initiative building workshop. This catalyst event is the launching pad for action between stakeholders from military, government, industry and academia. Identify the gap. Find the solution. Create the change. Move faster. Do better. Build the community. Regional Action = Global Impact! This day was inspirational and passion filled. Much more work to be done but what a great start! Thank you to the 150+ attendees and speakers who took the time to light the fire of collaboration and change! Thank you to NCMS – National Center for Manufacturing Sciences for teaming up on this week of technology convergence! #ModernizationAndInfrastructure #WorkforceDevelopmentAndVeteransHiring #IndustryAllianceAndCapabilities NDIA First Coast Chapter National Defense Industrial Association - (NDIA) NCMS – National Center for Manufacturing Sciences Joe Rodriguez Irmak Serttas Carrie Young Stephen Pollan Derreck Martell John Sarmie Tim Lawrence Eleni Cruise Ted Willich Jennifer Kennedy Ness Jason Hayes Jon C Leverette Carl Sawyer John Kummer Russell DeSalvo Alex Guell Tracy Kemp Terry Pittman Chris B.

Joe Rodriguez liked thisJoe Rodriguez liked thisMaking Moves Monday! Do you feel you are spending too much time and energy seeking approval from people who were never assigned to validate you. - Trying to explain yourself. - Trying to prove yourself. - Trying to make everyone understand your heart, your vision, your desired journey. If so, start making your moves, knowing everybody is not going to understand you, agree with you, or celebrate you. This Monday and beyond, protect your energy, stay focused and keep moving, because your next move needs your action and not their approval . Cheering for you always, Adrienne M.

Joe Rodriguez liked thisJoe Rodriguez liked thisMarine Corps Col. Christopher McDonald II assumed command of Fleet Readiness Center East from Navy Capt. Randy Berti during a change of command ceremony today. FRC East is on Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, down in Havelock. It is the largest industrial employer in Eastern North Carolina, and it overhauls aircraft, mostly Navy and Marine aircraft. McDonald has served as the depot’s executive officer since 2024 and previously served as the depot’s logistics and industrial operations military deputy group head from 2016 to 2018. So he knows the place, which is good. McDonald is a native of Poplar Bluff, Missouri. He enlisted in the Marines in 1988. He earned his commission as an officer in December 1999, and has worked in aviation logistics. He commanded Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 14 from 2018 to 2020. He has deployed overseas several times. Navy Capt. Charles Fisher Jr. will serve as FRCE’s new executive officer. Fisher most recently served as maintenance officer for Commander, Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach.

Joe Rodriguez liked thisA great day for our Navy and Nation! I flew the Boeing F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet for 30 years. During peacetime and combat, the F/A-18 always delivered. Precise and devastating on every mission, and always brought me back to the carrier day or night! What an honor to be a part of this all-star team that will build on our long legacy of fighter aircraft and deliver this sixth generation carrier based strike fighter to the next generation of Naval Aviators. #wedocoolthings #usnavy #usnavalaviation #boeingJoe Rodriguez liked thisA sixth sense for 6th-gen fighters. #TeamBoeing has been selected to produce the US Navy's 6th-generation F/A-XX aircraft, which is intended to replace the Navy’s iconic F/A-18 Super Hornet fleet and maintain naval air superiority. Our talented team has now been tapped by both the Navy and the U.S. Air Force to build 6th generation fighters. We’re ready. Release: https://lnkd.in/eZUZwGXh

As unmanned aerial system threats proliferate, APKWS has emerged as a cost-effective, combat-proven solution for air-to-air counter-UAS (C-UAS)—with recent operational use in the Red Sea, live-fire demonstrations across U.S. services, and expanding relevance for allied forces. Key takeaways: 🔹 Covers Lots 13–17, up to 55,000 units through 2031 🔹 Enables precision effects across fixed-wing, rotary-wing, UAS, vehicles, and vessels 🔹 Reinforces APKWS as a low-cost kinetic option amid growing C-UAS demand ❓ How is combat-proven APKWS reshaping low-cost C-UAS strategies across U.S. and allied forces?

Total Aviation Staffing
25K followers
Why are technical skills and security clearances not enough to ensure a successful hire in the defense industry? For aviation executives, recruiters, and hiring managers, prioritizing cultural fit is critical. Here's why: - Mission-Critical Alignment: A bad hire isn't just costly; it can compromise mission readiness and long-term project success. Employees who align with values like trust and accountability thrive in high-stakes roles. - Team Cohesion: When teams share values, they communicate effectively and maintain morale under pressure, which is vital for long-term projects. - Reduced Turnover: Focusing on cultural fit reduces rehiring costs by improving retention, a key factor in projects that span many years. Understanding these trends is essential for building strong, resilient teams that can tackle the unique challenges of the defense sector. Want to learn how to evaluate for cultural fit effectively and improve your hiring ROI? Read the full blog post. https://lnkd.in/emfU2XKA

⏳ 4 DAYS LEFT TO SUBMIT Central Florida Tech Grove is calling on industry to help tackle a real Navy training challenge: How can artificial intelligence accelerate the production, and long-term sustainment of Performance Support Videos for Sailors? The CTC Performance Support Video Challenge, supporting NAWCTSD and PMW-260, is seeking commercially available capabilities that can transform authoritative source material into useful, traceable training content while making it easier to identify, update, and re-render affected content as source information changes. This isn’t just about generating a video. It’s about demonstrating a repeatable capability that can support: 🎬 AI-assisted script, storyboard, and video production 🔗 Traceability to authoritative source material 🔄 Configuration management and lifecycle updates ⚓ Point-of-need delivery for Navy environments 📦 Reusable production artifacts for long-term sustainment 📅 Phase 1 submissions close September 25 at 11:59 PM ET. The challenge will narrow the field to a Top 10, then Top 5 finalists, before culminating in a Final Demonstration and selection of the Top 3. If your team is building AI video, content automation, digital training, configuration management, or technical data traceability, this is an opportunity to demonstrate that capability against a real Navy use case. 👉 Apply here: https://lnkd.in/erc2yQMJ Know a team that should see this? Tag them or send it their way. #TechGrove #NAWCTSD #CareerTrainingContinuum #DefenseInnovation #ArtificialIntelligence #AIVideo #NavyTraining #PrizeChallenge
