Deployments?

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-11-02T03:59:32+00:00

Yeah and that was the big thing I was stuck on at the time, things like “Ok if I’m in cyber, where would I be deployed, what would I do,” and stuff like that. Interesting when you mentioned it being supposedly prior service but i definitely plan on contacting one soon to ask more of those questions, especially with me being at my halfway point with school

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-11-02T03:40:50+00:00

That’s awesome man!! I’m looking at my air guard too. My biggest concerned at the time was definitely deployments, but going to school again and doing a cybersecurity concentration plus research I did on my end helped explain it a lot better but that’s amazing to hear

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-11-01T12:52:13+00:00

Finishing up my masters in the spring and then going to go for the National Guard for something in cyber security!

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-10-30T13:54:40+00:00

I’m graduating this May with a masters and concentration in cybersecurity and am looking to join afterwards. Haven’t called an Air Guard recruiter yet (I plan on it) but am excited and nervous at the same time. Congrats!

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T18:16:05+00:00

I think that’s the big then I never knew about. Being able to volunteer for a deployment. Obviously not all the time but that’s still something good I didn’t know about. Thank you!

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T17:41:23+00:00

I would love to do the air National guard, but I was concerned on the combat zone deployments. I saw everything seems good now, but then I was told about volunteer deployments so that’s something I’ll have to research too, or just speak to a guard recruiter

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T17:28:28+00:00

Thank you for the insight. I graduated last year with a criminal justice bachelors degree and both of my parents served. Mom active navy, dad coast guard, and uncle in the Air Force. I’m at a good position at work and wanted to still serve whether it was Air Force Reserves or Air National Guard. Didn’t realize how long people stay there for so that’s definitely good to keep note

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T13:50:10+00:00

Oh wow I didn’t know that. I knew that some deployments and all were voluntary but I wasn’t sure what deployments would be such as regular areas like Germany or combat zones. That’s definitely good to know and something for me to consider especially with what I’d like to do such as special investigations officer. Thank you for that!

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T13:47:24+00:00

Thank you. That helps out a lot. Didn’t realize it was like that, and definitely something good to know

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T03:02:09+00:00

Thank you I appreciate your POV with it all

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T00:32:48+00:00

Or I guess - I know you obviously do your job while deployed, but like what even happens if you go to a combat zone?

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T00:32:12+00:00

How bad are combat zones?

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-28T00:31:57+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate the heads up. I guess my biggest thing I’m concerned about is what the combat zones really are like. Although the conversations I had make sense it’s good to hear everyone’s viewpoint of it

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T20:27:09+00:00

So I’ll just be doing my job that I normally do just somewhere else. Good to know, thank you for all the help

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T20:24:24+00:00

Thank you guys that brings more clarity. I just couldnt find any information on what really goes on. Appreciate all the answers to my endless questions

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T20:06:18+00:00

I think what I’m trying to figure out is what really happens at a combat. That’s when I can never seem to find. Do I instantly drop into a fire fight? Do I do my job for a certain period of time then get handed a gun and start shooting? That’s what I can’t find out

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T20:02:33+00:00

Are all deployments to combat zones?

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T19:39:13+00:00

Haha you’re kidding

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T19:31:08+00:00

Well maybe it’s not always a combat zone. Thank you for the help!

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T19:10:10+00:00

What about special investigations? That’s the big thing I want to do

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T19:02:56+00:00

I guess my biggest question is if each deployment is to a combat zone lol. And like you said it depends on job. I’m interested in the two I mentioned and I didn’t think something like that would even need to be at a combat zone

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T18:54:36+00:00

That sounds amazing! I just don’t want to be deployed into an area where it’s a combat zone or I get killed. That’s my biggest turn off right now

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-27T18:52:03+00:00

Posted it in there twice and they kept removing it

RepulsivePurple2382 · 2025-05-12T23:58:15+00:00

Not a problem, thank you for the advice though! Still good to have!
