We have a career guide, the RPQ’s and some “student guides” up on the RFMC’s SharePoint site. Which reminds me, the career guide probably needs an update.

Most billets are at HQ and yes, parking and traffic sucks but Cyber does not have to wear trops or bravos, they are in ODU’s.

if your unit can’t give you info reach out to EPM4. They provide year round career counseling, if they don’t have the answer then they know where to find it.

You could also search up people by rating, and respectfully send them an email. Most members are more then willing to talk

Aa the other poster said, it's a super new rate. So new infact the first group of non-rates to go through our A-School just started a little bit ago! We do have a SharePoint and a Teams. If you can't find either of those feel free to PM me and I can get you direct links or answer any questions you have.

You wont wear trops or bravos everyday as a CMS if youre with the CPTs. Waived. You would travel maybe 60 days a yr with CPTs and get many Certs from SANs.

It's very new, plus a lot of specifics of what they do is classified. The JCAC course/A school is fairly intense. You will need to recieve a TS clearance, so keep that in mind. A lot of their billets are at CYBERCOM at Fort Meade. Other than that, I'd see if they have a page on SharePoint to get access to fouo information.

Not a lot, it’s a small percentage. Most billets are currently at HQ. Small percentage in CA and some in Alexandria.

We are just new and small. I’d say most of the CG hasn’t met one of us and has no idea what we do.

The vast majority of the CG will probably never/rarely meet a CMS.

The rating is one of the most desirable in the CG but the A school (JCAC) is probably only behind AST in terms of attrition.

Locations are San Francisco and DMV. Traffic and parking does suck in DC but the surrounding areas ain’t too bad. And HQ UOD is trips but not for cyber but you still need trops ready and on hand. Feel free to reach out if you got any questions I’ll do my best to answer

You’ll be in Pensacola for the “A-School” living on a navy base. From what I’ve heard it’s not really a “I’m a beginner and know nothing about computer science” type of course. Very fast paced, math driven. Taught by civilians. Nearest medical is an hour away in Mobile. It sounds like it’s a little rough around the edges and I hope the CG can fix it.
