Please Note
***This position is going to be sitting out of the Quantico client office and will require the employees to be onsite in Quantico Va. This consultant will have to do travel to Camp Lejeune to learn about the program and CSFC packages that they are deploying to the MEF teams. Consultants that have restrictions on OCONOS and CONOS travel will not be a good fit for this role.
