AEGIS Training and Readiness Center Detachment Norfok, announces the beginning of a new lecture series focusing on tactics, and tactical systems---

THE WARFIGHTER SEMINAR SERIES.
In partnership with C2F, TTGL, CSWDG, PMS-422, VAW-120, SWATSLANT, COMINEWARCOM, and other military activities, this series is specifically designed to reach the E-6 to O-4 Tactical Watchstanders. (More senior personnel are also welcome.) Topics will focus on the latest developments in tactics and systems for all surface warriors.
 
Seminars are designed to last only two hours, 0900-1100, on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Seminars will meet in the Deak Parsons Center unless otherwise specified via message. They will be held in one of the three facilities in the immediate vicinity of ATRC Det Norfolk, BLDG CEP-195, adjacent to the Deak Parsons Center. Setting will be informal with the last half-hour dedicated to questions and discussions. Working uniform will be authorized. Concept is to provide relevant, tactical information on a classified level that is easily accessible by the warfighters on the piers, and that does not take up the whole workday or workweek.
