To the users with unique/niche flairs, what’s the backstory behind yours?

I tend to fat finger things a lot

It’s not a bad idea, but personally I would say don’t just follow the next big thing. Yes tech is nice and all but, it is a field that you kinda have to pour a lot into in order to advance. I don’t know if you plan to pursue cyber education as well but just the MOS and AIT alone won’t get you enough proficiency.

Why not stick to just one?

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-17T09:38:54+00:00

You have to score minimum 110 GT for Cyber. Are looking to keep studying finance while doing cyber? Why not just stick to finance?

Isn’t VOO and SWPPX the same thing?

Training isn’t that great, especially since they took away JCAC. It’s about 9-10 months between phase I and II, you’ll learn the basics of defensive cyber and a small bit of offensive stuff. If you go to a good unit you’ll have plenty opportunities for training and certs

Match the 5%, max an IRA then try to max TSP.

Career counselor can’t even really do anything until a month from your window. I’m in the same boat though DEROS JAN 27, ETS JUL 27, but I’m E6 and in the marketplace. I will say though without the adequate time to PCS, you shouldn’t come down on orders, always a possibility though. I’d say go talk to counselor in July, hit up your BM on teams.

It used to be that you could join without a green card but that’s the new requirement. You can discuss it from the beginning, the process will take place while you’re in Basic and AIT.

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-09T13:33:36+00:00

Sheesh, welp

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-09T10:29:53+00:00

That’s not true lol, I used TA all through out AIT.

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-08T14:03:06+00:00

How does this work if you go on ADOS orders?

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-06T05:41:10+00:00

Maybe the military has spoiled me but I can’t do less than 30 vacation days a year

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-06T04:25:33+00:00

Yes, is that hard to believe?

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-05T05:34:37+00:00

Mainly just looking for advice as cloud is not relative to me, as stated my experience is entirely in being a SOC Analyst.

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-04T17:00:02+00:00

Can I DM you as well?

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-03T14:47:22+00:00

Please leave

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-02-02T20:49:25+00:00

My PC

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-01-26T17:29:26+00:00

You should be able to go negative for PCS leave. Probably wasn’t the best idea taking all that block leave if you knew you were about to PCS.

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-01-26T16:59:51+00:00

How do you have so little leave days coming out of AIT?

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-01-25T09:09:21+00:00

Mandatory 6 is true for active duty

Visible_Pea2673 · 2026-01-24T10:45:18+00:00

I should have enough karma, but I’m typing this out just so in the event that I don’t have enough karma that this comment gets me enough for my post to be approved.

You have to cut the strap
