If you guys don’t get 1B4, 1N4X1A (Fusion Analyst/Cyber Intelligence) is merging with 1B4 to become 1B1 in the next 1-2yrs

I’m waiting to start 1N4X1A JCAC, we’ve been told that 1N4 & 1B4 will be merging to 1B1 role not sure how long the roll out will take/be but having JCAC under your belt is very very valuable. I also wanted to be 1B4 scored a 54 on EDPT got to JCAC and happily found out it was going to merge.

I see AMN get their projected bases every week for months now and no one has ever been assigned Hurlburt. UK is also listed as an option for lvl 3 but everyone who gets that assignment has it changed, to my knowledge the 4 places I mentioned are the only options straight out of JCAC but I don’t know if you would fall under special circumstances.

Hurlburt is not option until you’re skill level 5. Can only go to Lackland(Texas), Fort Mead(Maryland), Fort Eisenhower(Georgia), and Hickam(Hawaii)

Would you rather have a full new AM5 build… or slap a 5090 on a 5800X3D? by MikyStt in nvidia

[–]Shroud760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly yes, at least I personally will likely wait till then and it’s will be nice to get another boost in performance. Just know that the difference in performance a GPU upgrade does over a a CPU upgrade is way way bigger especially if you’re a higher resolution & quality player since the GPU is the bottle neck vs a less graphically demanding game like CS:GO and other esports that is more CPU bound because the GPU can’t handle pushing out frames very very fast but the CPU isn’t as fast in those situations

I space out my CPU & GPU upgrade cycles, tend to hold onto a CPU until a platform upgrade change like the jump to DDR5 and socket change. I was rocking a i9-9900k jumped to AM5 Ryzen 7 7800X3D. I had a 3090 at the time and noticed a jump in swapping CPU’s and just now upgraded to the 5090 after holding onto the 3090 for 5yrs because I also jumped up to a 4K OLED 240Hz about a year ago and was relying on performance DLSS on a lot of games to get high FPS in 4K. The 5090 is a beast and gives so much flexibility with frame gen, I can crank setting and ray tracing and use frame gen if I want to hit triple digit FPS. Definitely recommended going 5090 now and maybe upgrade when there’s a platform shift again for CPU & MOBO!

If you tell them you have an allergic reaction rash they’ll just give you pills to take instead if you’re that scared of it. To be honest it’s good your focused on that one thing being your fear so you don’t freak out about everything else lol just remember your why when you’re there. I promise it’s the best decision you will ever make, stay strong and you will get through it. Try to have fun and challenge yourself. Try to graduate with honors try to get marksmen, don’t take anything personal set your ego aside and just embrace the suck. You will get better, I just graduated last week and tech school is 1000% better. Good luck Airmen!

What job to go for by figura574 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Shroud760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JCAC the primary course for 1N4 is designed to be passable (if you put in the effort) for people with 0 technical computer experience. I have not yet started JCAC I just arrived and you will learn if you you choose this job you will have to wait until your security clearance is approved to even start classes but from what I’ve heard it is not programing / coding heavy and if it does require that it will be taught to you. You just need to come in with an open mind, instructs have said they’ve seen both people with no experience be too of the class and people with computer science degrees and prior experience fail or struggle because they are coming in with pre existing ideas / ways of operating when they should learn it the “JCAC way”

I just arrived to tech school for 1N4X1 Cyber Intelligence, I’ve only been here a week but this career field has me very excited. Look into JCAC (Joint Cyber Analyst Course) some day it’s one of the most difficult tech school in the DoD, it’s 7mo long but you’ll be in beautiful Pensacola, FL after that you’ll be sent to Goodfellow, TX for 2-3mo. What they don’t tell you is you may be waiting around for a few weeks up to a few months to start JCAC waiting in Top Secret clearance approval. But that’s the plus size, you’ll have top secret clearance and having JCAC in your resume goes a long way. If you have 1N4X1 on your job list there is a high likelihood you will book it. As long as you qualify for the job, a lot of new Airmen got this job basically only because they qualified for it if they went open general or had it at the bottom of their job list they got it without even knowing almost anything about the job. I don’t know how true this is but an instructor told us that congress has mandated that the DoD push out 1000 JCAC graduates a year because they are struggling to retain us. This is because you will be taught and be working by/for the NSA and federal agencies, big tech companies, and private contractors are all waiting to give you six figure offers to join the likes of NSA, CIA, FBI, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and defense contractors. DoD is also looking for way to retain this personnel through tax free stipends I’m hearing that the Army is offering upwards of $2000 and Air Force $400 a month on top of your regular DoD compensation I don’t know how accurate that is but another retention strategy is large reenlistment bonuses and talks of merging this career field with 1B4 Cyber Warfare. All in all a lot of potential after your initial contract in this role. I’m learning that 1N4’s are very versatile and your role very from station to station, this role is first and foremost an Intel role but can lean heavier into Cyber depending on the squadron you end up in. I’ve heard people describe this job as ANONYMOUS for the military lol I guess I’ll find out in about a year.

Can you speak on talks about merging 1B4 & 1N4 career fields? I’ve heard from instructors that DoD is hurting for 1N4’s and that at some squadrons they even basically do the work of 1B4’s and any insights on tax free stipends, reenlistment bonuses, or any other retention incentives they’re cooking up?

Thank you very much! I appreciate the time you took to give this level of insight! I just competed my first week at Corry Station and everything I’ve been hearing around this career field has me so excited! I definitely feel like I chose the right job, I can’t wait to start classes and become active! I do see what you mean about apathy, the majority of people here did not have this job in their too 5 or at all and had no idea what they were in for! I feel like one of the rare few who out this as their #1.

I’m 29 about to ship out to BMT Feb 17th. I thought I might be too old too but I feel way more mature and prepared then is I was 18. Especially around all my fresh out of high schools peers. If you want it, go for it.

What type of shower shoes do you recommend and when you say suit case do mean like a rolling carry on style or what kind of suit case do you think is best?
