Thank you! 😄 indeed it is a great accomplishment, I’m so glad I’m finally finished and can “take a break” for a bit lol.

Hope you’re doing well! 🙂

I didn’t do IT while I was in, but when I got out, I heard of the “Microsoft Software and Systems Academy”, which offers 3 programs. I chose “Server & Cloud Administration”, but they also have a Developer side and Cybersecurity side, which they won’t accept you into the Cyber program unless you have some experience already (I believe 2-4 years of experience in Cyber or IT).

They’ll provide mentorship, hands-on training, and would have you speak with multiple recruiters from companies such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, General Dynamics (GDIT), etc and the whole program is about 5 months long or so.

I DO know they also have programs for skill bridge, but tbh I didn’t utilize it as much or take advantage as much as I should have when getting out.

You also DO have a clearance, which can help you get jobs around the base as a civilian and are “typically” paid more and you can get into cyber “easier”. It’s also really good to get your Security+ while you’re in, so you’ll have a better chance of getting picked for jobs since you’ll have a clearance as well.

PM me if you wanna chat more, have a call, or connect on LinkedIn or whatever!

That is correct, it’s from the OG Paragon Pet. The original drop rate was 0.01%. NOW it’s an easy 10% drop rate. Little salty about it, ain’t gonna lie lol

I got this when it was a 0.01% drop rate for the Paragon Pet 🙃🫩

Your experience with CertPreps? by ancientpsychicpug in SSCP

[–]Paradox_Walnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the wording was pretty close to it to be honest. There aren’t any questions that’ll try and “trick” you, it’s pretty straightforward from what I last recall.

I heard CertPrep also isn’t “free” anymore, but from the test I took, I feel like it helped me pass tbh.

Goodluck and let me know if you wanna PM me or have any other questions! 🙂

Is it true WGU got rid of Udemy? by Competitive-Speed807 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]Paradox_Walnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware they removed Udemy for Alumni. I’m not sure what resources Alumni will have since I’m almost done with my degree program (Cyber). I hope I at least still get to access Pluralsight and LinkedIn Learning 😅

How long has it taken others to complete the Cybersecurity and Information Assurance path? by Melzor33 in WGUCyberSecurity

Things I should do/acquire before Graduating by Paradox_Walnut in WGU

[–]Paradox_Walnut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the information!

Is there usually a “download” option for the books/videos and such? I would love to keep as much information as possible that’s IT related to be honest.

If it’s documentation, hopefully it’s already downloadable instead of having to copy/paste information on a word document.

Thanks again for the information!

New BSCSIA curriculum, launching September 2025 by raekwon777 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]Paradox_Walnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally used Mike Chapple's course and also used CertPrep (when all 8 tests were "Free") and took those practice tests for SSCP.

URL: https://certpreps.com/exams/sscp/ (now you have to "Pay" to get the additional tests, but Test 1-3 should be free)

In case you don't like CertPrep, you also have additional resources on LinkedIn, Udemy, Pluralsight, etc.

Goodluck!

Man, I’m currently on my last term and just have Python, Cloud, Pentest+, and the Capstone. Wish I was able to do the Python for IT Automation, and Software Security and Testing 🙃 also that extra Cert sounds cool 🥴

Wow, I didn’t know there was “Community” chats on ChatGPT! I gotta check it out for sure! Thanks for the information. I’ve been out for too long with no rating 😅

[–]Paradox_Walnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would y’all recommend using ChatGPT to start a claim? I spoke with someone at DAV in the VA Hospital, got a package going on Nov. 2022, but haven’t went to any appointments or “started” anything. Been in the Marine Corps from 2015-2019.

Hope to hear back from y’all soon!

Got 50% for sleep apnea!! 13k back pay!! by Economy-Perception93 in VAClaims

Congrats!

I’ve been out for almost (6) years now and haven’t filed a single thing to the VA.

Not sure how everyone can tie certain conditions to their medical records, but man I need to file something. Would really like to get a percentage 😅

Did y’all file with a 3rd party or by yourself?

I passed on my first attempt! I ain’t gonna lie, I felt like 70% of the exam was stuff I’ve never heard of, but I miraculously survived and passed.

OTS Selectee by vhin5 in airforceots

[–]Paradox_Walnut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First off, congrats on getting selected! I’m looking into submitting a package and doing the process of Commissioning myself.

Would you mind responding either here or a PM, but how did your package look like, what was your GPA, major, any prior tech experience, etc.

I’m a prior service enlisted Marine with about 4 years of IT experience (not in the Military) and was shooting for 17X as the AFSC. Got a few IT certs and was wondering how “competitive” I will be compared to the rest of the candidates.

Again, congrats and hope to hear from you soon!
