8 year US Navy F/A-18E pilot in the Hampton Roads, VA area (can’t relo due to my two boys here). Anyone ever started their own contracting company, and if so what’s the best COA to get about doing that? Follow-on, does it make sense to even do that as opposed to searching for a contractor position within an established company? Thanks for any advice! V/r, “PIB”

Hmm…so many unknowns. I’d recommend contracting for a year to get the ropes and understand the landscape and process. Also, build your network, lots of orgs are there - NDIA and AfCEA there- start to meet other smalls and larges to build relationships and start to work with for future opportunities.

DM me, happy to provide some of my perspective.

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.
