*** This position is going to be sitting out of the Quantico GTRI 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.

While the client does a good job of planning these trips they could be scheduled fairly quickly with a 2 week notice (expect for Japan) so consultants must be able to accommodate. Trips will usually last between 3-4 weeks
