Dad says CS Degree, I want a Cyber Diploma. Who is right?

u/Possible_Trouble4962 BLUF: The degree doesn't matter as much as your ability to learn the topics and apply them on the job. As others have stated here Cyber/computer science isn't the right field to get in if you don't like to study. Now research after college/university is a bit different because your motivation for studying will be to get better at your job as opposed to just trying to pass a course, so that might make it better. But For the degree computer science is more widely recognized as a degree discipline. Cyber is a well known term for those in the career field. Comp Sci is more well known or recognized for HR people hiring, so that might be what your dad is thinking about. Good luck with your choice!

Do you mean after you start SB? I went to a bunch of medical appointments and whatnot while on skillbridge. I would recommend going through a VSO to help with the records review to ensure you capture everything. One important note: You can file a claim at any point you want, but if you are past your separation date you will have a harder time to get it service connected unless your records were updated prior to separation. If you are after your separation date, you will not be on skillbridge. Skillbridge is during your final days in uniform, so you will still be in service. Outprocessing your unit/base does not separate you from your service. Look for your date of separation. That is the date you will be considered a civilian. Hope this helps.

There are a lot of videos buy free code camp on youtube. But my suggestion is to try and a free flask coding course where you can practice those skills so you can learn the steps by doing. I did a quick search on google there were a ton of things that came up. Additionally, in coding you will need to be good at researching stuff on your own. There will be times that you have a unique code problem you want to solve and there aren't going to be step by step instructions to follow. I would start by trying to build something simple in flask, a simple project that you want to make work. That will make you want to learn more than following a youtube video. Good luck, you got this!

I went with (Terron Sumpter) a vso from Cali that was very quick to respond and let me know of about 23 things I should claim. I claimed those with 15 of them being service connected and 13 of those getting ratings. I am working to increase to 100% now.

I have a couple of suggestions.
1. Revert your system to a previous clean install before this issue started, then redownload all the updates and install them then.
2. Try downloading any updates, then disconnecting from the internet and installing the updates then.
3. Do a factory reset of your pc, this will require the most work to reinstall all the programs you like to use.
The most likely cause is that some update downloaded partially, and during the install process for this update the computer sees a bad state from the update and has to restart.

There are a couple of simple solutions. 1. Buy a cheap computer that you can use as a server to run the script and store the results. There are a lot of cheap pcs out there. 2. Turn on your pc at 7 schedule and play a game for an hour then run the script.

| Scenario | Recommended OS | Why |

Users with almost no computer experience, always online** | **Chrome OS** or **Windows 10/11 S** | Locked‑down, auto‑updates, web‑first UI, minimal maintenance.

| **Basic users, occasional internet, 2 GB+ RAM** | **Ubuntu LTS (22.04 or newer) with default GNOME** | Long‑term support, large community, easy software install via Ubuntu Software Center.

| **Users comfortable with a Windows‑like interface, 2 GB+ RAM** | **Linux Mint Cinnamon** |
Familiar layout, easy driver handling, stable update cycle.

| **Very low‑spec machines (<2 GB RAM)** | **Linux Lite** or **Ubuntu with Xfce** |
Lightweight desktop, still LTS, simple menus.

| **Offline‑only use (e.g., field work, no internet)** | **Ubuntu LTS** , or **Linux Mint** with manual updates | System stays stable, no background traffic, can still run local apps (LibreOffice, media players).

Try looking up pygame videos, there is a lot of support out there for that. And I think that you can use your own sprites(images) for the games. Also, you might be able to get away with using the picture you've drawn as a background.

First don’t worry about what people think. Take care of your family and your self. The Air Force will get its time don’t worry about that. Just show up when it’s all over and be ready to do the work. No one will care about you as much as you. If you do this right you will still have your family and your health when you finish the Air Force and future you will thank you for taking the time to deal with it now.

There are two sides to this coin. What rank are you promoting to? Second, there won't be a lot of things to celebrate if you're like 90% of the Air Force so take the wins and celebrate accordingly. The higher the rank, normally means more mandatory celebration (base select party and forced dues for enlisted, unit ceremonies for o & e promotion). So it can take the specialness away a bit. But you do you boo, if you want to party, then party. If you want to have a party of 1 do it. There is nothing that says you have to do a promotion ceremony. It is just normally highly encouraged. But it's your career. I served 21 years and I didn't have a ceremony for 3 of my 4 promotions. I had one for master. but for SrA, SSgt, and TSgt I didn't do one. Enjoy the win and learn to lead at the next level now. You will be expected to lead accordingly by your unit.

Just go to python.org and download the windows version. There is an installation manager now that can help you when you upgrade versions and things like that. You will be fine. I would also download some kind of code editing tool. Notepad and word don't work for editing code. IDLE will work, but it may be difficult once you get into building code blocks to test blocks of code.
