What is the Army Cyber Institute like?

2019-02-13T14:26:17-05:00

I received word yesterday from Cadre that I have been selected to attend Wet Point this summer on internship to the Army Cyber Institute. While I wait for additional information to be sent down in regards to what will be expected of me, has anyone here attended ACI or the internship itself? I have heard that I can earn an Additional Skill Identifier upon completion and that it can open doors to Cyber, however info seems limited on the web and I wish to know if I could request Cyber upon completion.

You might want to see if going there could give you a chance at this, I'd read on here awhile back, or seen online somewhere, that Navy had evidently reopened it's WO1 warrant program for cyber, look through these, I think you'll find them of interest, honest....

Being as you're apparently going to be right there, you might care to drop over and have a look at this...I'd been Army ROTC 3 yrs. before going USAF OTS instead, the unit I was in, which no longer exists, trained a good deal at West Point, so I got a quite good look at cadet life day to day, as well as trained with them on the obstacle course, orienteering range, and rappelling cliff...there are ones for Annapolis as well as USAFA as well, if you'd be inclined to look them up, I did know of one airman where I'd been assigned, who got directly into USAFA without the USAFA prep school, so I do know it most definitely can be done....

United States Military Academy Preparatory School - Wikipedia
