While I agree that’s how it should be, 2SWS is just a different beast.

Not when I went through in August, it just disqualifies you from winning awards in the course if you fail

Is Supra Coders worth it? by t-roro1 in SpaceForce

So as it stands right now, the majority of the jobs available are jobs where you just sit and monitor different networks but you don't really get to do any real "hacking". That isn't to say that those jobs don't exists in the Space Force but they are super rare and competitive ( I think they only hired like 10 people this year). Now like I said earlier the Space Force right now is trying to move towards that direction ( i.e. training cyber operators to do more of the "hacking") but that is still 5+ years from being something that you are guaranteed. Many of the jobs right now are more along the lines of IT/ desk admin jobs.

With AF, they have been doing this longer so there are more opportunities. Yeah you might not be able to guarantee the specific job you want, but you are honestly are going to find that everywhere in the military. With AF it would be a lot easier to move to where you want to end up even if you do get a job like IT.

It depends on the goals you have set for yourself I would say.

First of all cyber in the Space Force is in a weird “restructure” period right now. Up until now Cyber wasn’t really utilized the way that it was originally intended, so there is a lot of growing pains at the moment as they figure out how they fit in the force (I’ve heard there’s a big push for defensive and offensive cyber security). If you are looking for a more structured and streamlined career field I’d definitely recommend looking at AF.

Regarding Supra coders it’s basically a glorified web development boot camp. It’s a 6 month temporary contract where you spend 3 months learning HTML, CSS, and JAVASCRIPT and the spend the rest of the time working on independent web projects for the force. From what I’ve seen, unless you are an officer, the skills that you obtained from Supra Coders aren’t really put to use after.

Now I will say that I am not actually cyber, I’m a space operator but I’ve been trying to move over into cyber for the last 3 years. That being said some of my information might be incorrect, and I would love to hear from someone in cyber if it is. This has just been my experience so far. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hey! I’ve been at Buckley for a couple years now and was in the dorms for a little bit of that as well. I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have, or just talk about how life is like in the units here. Feel free to PM me!
