I was a medic at the time with no certs, but I had IT experience from before the Army and earned a cyber security degree in the Army. I was told that I would be accepted, but alas, I was medically retired. That being said, I would think you are good to get looked at. Just do well on the entrance exam, if they still do that. I remember the 17C was more of a logic test, was easy if I remember correctly.Response by SSG Michael Hathaway made Oct 18 at 2019 10:57 AM2019-10-18T10:57:57-04:002019-10-18T10:57:57-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member5142130<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>From the research I’ve done, and the people I have talked to, 25Ds end up in the Comsec cage never to be seen again. They do not get to practice the skills of their MOS often. They more do Comsec and bravo work.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 18 at 2019 4:18 PM2019-10-18T16:18:15-04:002019-10-18T16:18:15-04:00MSG Private RallyPoint Member5151530<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It depends on where you are stationed. I am currently in a MI BDE filling a GS-13 slot as the Bridge Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM). Many units still don't know how to properly utilize 25Ds but if you are smart, you can quickly demonstrate your value in network defense.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 21 at 2019 2:38 PM2019-10-21T14:38:26-04:002019-10-21T14:38:26-04:002019-10-18T10:28:18-04:00
