I am an NG soldier in DC, I have a certification in Counter Radio Electronic Warfare Systems, that i received while deployed in Afghanistan. Now that I am back stateside i would like to work in that field but I am unsure of how to do so exactly. What should i study? Are there any books? Any Internships? Any work study groups. I really would like some guidance, whatever guidance that can be applied, if possible. I was told that Cybersecurity is a great start, so now im Obtaining my associates in it, with this actually be helpful?
EW: Electronic Warfare Technician
29E: Electronic Warfare Specialist

SPC(P) (Join to see) The Official Club/Organization of Practitioners of the Trade is the Old Crows Association and their Magazine is JED Journal of Electronic Defense. Check into both that may be of some assistance.

So what you need to do is do a google search on EW school or do a search on AKO. They have school info on how to join. It won’t be too hard to get accepted as a NG. Just have the right ASVAB scores. As far as study material...they will have information on in what to study. I would suggest start getting familiar with frequency bands such as VHF, UHF. Practice some basic math skills too because you will do some math. Antenna theory is also a good place to look too.

A site that someone found but this is what we fight... Cyber Warfare is just as hard as in the field with bullets flying by... This fight includes everything you are and everyone you know... Be sure before you start it is what you want. Here is Cyber War I shared this 4 years and nothing was notice now look at the border... But defend our country i always will

Join the Association of Old Crows (AOC) and read through the journals to get an idea of the schools out there. In my opinion Georgia Tech has the best EW classes. If you are new to college, then get a foundation in RF. A science-based associate's degree in cybersecurity is a decent start, but in my opinion you need to go with electrical engineering.

Talk to your schools and manning NCOs about re-classing into the 29E MOS. You can look into Civilian HAM radio classes as a means to introduction into RF Propagation. Or you know, YouTube RF Propagation. Also go on https://armypubs.army.mil and Download FM 3-36 to start.

Look up the Association of Old Crows, crows.org. It’s a good place to start for civilian jobs in the ew field. Check out any companies that made any of the ew equipment you used. Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, etc.
