I've been looking all night and can't find anything. Can anyone tell me about the 1B4 field? Length of school? Deployments? Daily Life?

Setting yourself up for a career in cyber takes initiative. Only airmen who have obtained the CompTIA Security+ certification will be considered for cross-training into cyber-related jobs. They also must have an understanding of and aptitude for TCP/IP protocols, network hardware and the Linux operating system. The Air Force is looking for 1,715 airmen to move to joint Cyber Mission Force teams, operated under U.S. Cyber Command, by fiscal 2016, in addition to supporting the continuing needs of the Air Force, said Maj. Gen. James McLaughlin, commander of 24th Air Force at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. It begins with a 17-week cyber defense operations course for enlisted personnel at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss. Airmen take a set block of classes such as mobile, space and satellite networking, cyber network threats and defense, cyber operations and information technology fundamentals, and even classes on laws and ethics practices.

Cyber: The safest job in the Air Force?
In the three years since the Air Force's arm of U.S. Cyber Command became operational, the numbered command has grown to 5,400 airmen, civilians and contractor personnel providing around-the-clock support to protect and defend DoD networks. Another 11,000 reservists and Guard members support the mission. And there's no sign of the growth letting up.
