• SAME held its fifth annual Joint Engineer Senior NCO Symposium this week in Atlantic Beach and Camp Lejeune, N.C. The event is held each year to provide our NCO engineer corps an opportunity to gain greater knowledge of topics of concern and to network with their inter-service counterparts. Look for photos of the event next week.
• As mentioned in last week’s Weekly Digest, the SAME Sustainability Task Force held a conference call Wednesday. Topics covered in the call included net-zero energy initiatives, the meaning of sustainable communities as applied to military installations and alternative energy opportunities.
