You are going to have to talk to a recruiter. I assume you are trying to go green to gold? But definitely, your first step is talking to your local recruiter. Do you have your certs yet? I just reclassed and I still have to do all of mine.

I don't know much about the Cyber Field, but I've had to put in a commissioning packet recently. You would need to speak to recruiter and get what's required for the specific AOC that you want.

Do you have some certifications and be able to document your experience. That will hurt some people who learned on their own....but it is best to have documented experience.
