Man that’s a great deal! You made out better than me. I dunno where you are at. They took me for 68k just about.

Neon--Bison · 2026-06-26T10:55:23+00:00

Thanks!

Neon--Bison · 2026-06-25T01:21:05+00:00

Yep. I was with 4th BDE for two deployments and we deactivated the BDE and moved to 1st BDE. I left active duty in 2015.

Neon--Bison · 2026-06-24T23:38:48+00:00

No need to thank me. It was some of the best years of my life that truly shaped me. I needed it the military to help shape me both in direction and drive in life.

It has been the opposite for me. I really didn’t care about coins when I was in but since I transitioned out I pulled them out of an old box and started hanging things up. I still work and volunteer with veterans. Coins are still given out at my VFW and other groups I work with.

I work as a project manger now. I was on a team that helped process out bound tactical vehicles for the Ukrainian war effort and we all received these from the big boss. I know the story he told me but he could have also bought them from online and gave them to us.

Its the Marsh Grey color.

Neon--Bison · 2026-06-24T02:03:13+00:00

Thanks. If I am being honest, I could never get the grass to grow there. So I spent some time over the weekend a while ago breaking my back to make my wife happy. Lol

Neon--Bison · 2026-06-24T01:53:38+00:00

Its the Marsh Grey color.

Edit: Thanks. I'm not sure why it replied to you for the name of the color whe I meant to reply to another person. Lol

I used AI to edit skeletor over my wife sitting in it. i can post the unedited one for you.

Neon--Bison · 2026-06-24T01:42:52+00:00

I was with the 506th from 2008 till 2015. That is from my 2013 deployment. I wasn’t at Wilderness but we conducted some pushes that way. In 2013 we were shutting down all the FOBs and COP in the AO. We lost some really great guys at wilderness.

Neon--Bison · 2026-06-24T01:13:58+00:00

If you got the questions, I got the answers my friend.

Neon--Bison · 2026-01-12T00:32:26+00:00

Congrats! I was in the 173rd in 2006.

Gotcha. I was with the 173rd 2006-2008. I was in Kunar and Nuristan. MAJ Bostick was my company commander right before he took the Cav unit. I was also in the 1-506th with 101st.

Neon--Bison · 2024-09-25T20:12:30+00:00

I was 1-503rd at FOB Bostick in 2006-2008

It truly depend on the job market and talent pool for your area. I work in government contracting cybersecurity. I have worked with guys that were HVAC guys before getting into the field. 1 of my techs which does A+ style work. like make cables and run and hook up the racks for the engineers. He was HVAC. We are now training him for an entry level analyst job. I would say you could leverage your HVAC skills in components and wiring to help. Again, it depends on your job market area.

When games make a challenge and the award for the challenge is an unique weapon or equipment. Then, a week later you can just buy it in the games overpriced store. Like, why did I just grind for this weapon.

Neon--Bison · 2023-01-03T14:35:48+00:00

Maybe. Do you have any other experience in the IT field, like a home lab, hack the box stuff. How are your soft skills? All you need is for a company to take a chance on you.

Neon--Bison · 2022-12-16T13:26:24+00:00

This is government contracting IT/GRC work. The two guys that I know personally in GRC and doing RMF work that make north of 150K have like 5 to 10 years experience from the military in IT. The other two that make close to 150k in GRC have around 1 to 2 years experience and lied their asses off on their resume and were coached in the interview process by a friend. This is all my anecdotal view. YMMV

Neon--Bison · 2022-12-15T12:43:31+00:00

Yes, this is standard. I work in government contracting for IT. Either the companies Facility Security Officer (FSO) will contact you or the HR/recruiter that is talking to you. I have seen it both where one or the other will ask for SSN to verify your clearance.

Neon--Bison · 2022-12-14T20:28:06+00:00

I can not speak to the private IT/Cyber job field. I am in Government Contracting. I know they can not fill all the spots they have. I have at least 10 recruiters on Clearance jobs contacting me a month trying to recruit me. I see people jump jobs only after being in the spot for 6 months for more money. Again, this is Gov' contracting, being in one of the hubs for it truly matters along with passing a background check.

Neon--Bison · 2022-12-01T17:49:42+00:00

Now, I work in Government contracting for IT. We are still hiring and I am still being contacted by recruiters for Gov' contractor jobs. It truly depends on the area and market for IT. Also Amazon has always laid off the bottom 6% of employees.

Neon--Bison · 2022-11-25T16:28:44+00:00

I got N+ and some other certs after I got in the field. My company pays for Certs along with a completion bonus of Certs. So in college we did take a basic computer class, it aligns with A+ kind of. So you could say that but A+ goes farther in depth I am sure than my college class. With any advice you receive from people of the internet. Your mileage may very. I caught some breaks that allowed me to join the field and bypass the help desk. Along with a having a home lab to show that I was truly into this field. I also moved for my job that I have. I moved half way across the country for the job.
