I am a computer science major and 25B in the ARNG. What things should I be doing to better my chances of commissioning as a cyber officer in the Army via ROTC? I've done some research and found that PT scores, GPA, internships, certifications (namely Sec+), and doing well in the interview during advanced camp are all factors that are taken into consideration when being selected for branch commissioning.
Any and all advice is helpful!

Cyber Command is under the Air Force. We are hurting for cyber officers and we've been tasked to expand. I would suggest you consider changing services.

If you want to get into cyber, you might consider the USAF. With a CS degree they would probably make you go into that AFSC whether you wanted to or not to be frankly honest. If that's what you want you might consider that route. To me serving is a purple world today as a joint officer for the last six years. I appreciate the Army as I probably worked more for your service in the last six years as a blue suiter. In reality if the job is what you want, go where you are more likely to get it.
