I know that right now they are taking individuals with Bachelors Degrees. Will they waive that? I am 3 classes short of a biology degree but unfortunately haven’t had time to go back because of the types of classes they are. I am prior service. I know occasionally they will do it with stipulations of completing the degree before promotion. I do have about 3 years of experience in healthcare IT

At minimum you will need some sort of BS + work experience related to what a 70D does.
The question is , being that your profile is blank are you doing any sort of signal type work or a civilian job related to IT? -- Correction you said 3 years of IT.

As far as a waiver.. very unlikely . they want to see a BS , which is required for CV review purposes ( see note below)

My Background I got DC as a 70D with the following
10+ years of IT in product development/and technical work, a Masters in Information systems and about 6 years of medical IT.

note I am not aware of any DC to 70D as active duty. Just be aware of that.

I appreciate the response. So they will take a partial degree? And I have about 6 years of IT experience that I can point to on my CV with about 3 of them in the Healthcare IT realm. And I am fine with Reserves.
