RDML Osie V. Combs, Jr.
U.S. Navy (Ret.)
Washington
--NBDPA's Washington, D.C. Chapter (BDPA-DC) announces Rear Admiral Osie V. Combs, Jr., US Navy (Ret.) will keynote this fall's Scholarship Awards Gala on Wednesday, November 9th, 2011, at The Washington, D.C. Navy Yard Conference Center.  Admiral Combs is the Executive Vice President of V-Tech Solutions, Inc. (V-Tech). He brings more than 40 years of combined military and private sector expertise to V-Tech, that includes responsibilities in defense consulting, information technology, program management, systems engineering, and operations management.  BDPA-DC's workforce development theme for this fiscal year is Information Dominance.

V-Tech Solutions, Inc, is BDPA-DC's 2011 Small Business Sponsor of the Year. Admiral Combs will "connect the dots" for veterans, entrepreneurs, and BDPA's student members who plan to attend this year's gala.  As the U.S. Navy sets sail on  deploying and securing its Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN), NGEN will offer tomorrow's workforce unprecedented opportunities across multiple domains (space, air, land, sea, and cyber) as the world's largest enterprise network.

 

While assigned to the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) in San Diego, California, Combs served as Vice Commander; Chief Engineer; and Director for Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR). "Admiral Combs' intimate, first-hand knowledge of the Department of Defense agencies is a tremendous asset to V-Tech's programs supporting the Warfighter," said Victor P. Holt, President and CEO of V-Tech.  - bt
