I wonder how difficult it would be, as a medic, to reclass into these cyber fields. I do have experience in the civilian side IT field, with an AAS in InfoSys, and going to school for cybersecurity (but the focus there is more policy/management side versus coding). I of course plan on getting some coding classes in C++. I also hope to earn some certifications in Sec+, CEH and whatnot if I can swing it with the Ed center, but I'm not too sure if the army will cover it since I am a 68 series. Due to my degree, it was suggested by a S6 colleague that I should pursue 25B instead but the OIC stated that 25D is such a high demand MOS that I really should go that route especially since I am going to school for it.

Thoughts or suggestions anyone?

I know I'm late on this, I emailed the 7th Signal Theater and they got back with me within a week an pointed me to a unit that is taking in 25D's and 17C's. It is a reserve unit out of Washington State.

You should try 35Q or 25D... both are a viable option for reclass! I think you'd have a really good chance with 35Q... You'll never know until you try!
