Called the new asbestos, PFOA and PFOS are contaminates and fluorinated organic chemicals that are part of a larger group of chemicals referred to as per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Over the past few years, the DOD has set aside funds to be spent on military housing improvements related to energy efficiency and environmental remediation.
The funds set aside for this are huge, and the amount of opportunity out there are even bigger. There are almost 1,000 sites that need environmental remediation in the Army alone; that does not include navy, air force, etc.
Please join us as Kent navigates the trends and helps guide us to where the work is.
In support of our national security, and as underscored by former President Trump’s message to the nation and emergency declarations being made in communities across the country, the SAME Mid-Maryland Post is joining the effort to contain the spread of COVID-19.

The SAME Mid-Maryland Post will be taking action and will be monitoring the situation on a routine basis moving forward.
We will be reaching out directly to guests who have registered for these events with further information. At this time, no other Mid-Maryland Post events will be announced until we can reassess on April 15. We will continue to monitor the situation and any updates will be distributed via email and our social media sites.
The work that SAME members, partners, and stakeholders do is vital to national security, and building relationships and trust through their interactions in the Society is a critical part of how they do it. However, right now the focus needs be on containing the spread of corona virus in an effort to shorten its duration. Reducing community spread and limiting in-person gatherings are necessary approaches to take.
SAME is dedicated to the health and safety of all its members and event participants, and we thank you for your understanding during these unprecedented circumstances in order to help contain the spread of the corona virus.
