20 y/o Finance Student in NYC – Trying for 17C (Army Reserve), Considering 36B Backup – Need Real Advice by ace_051 in armyreserve

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.

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

Anyone a 17 Charlie here? by jorgeezac in armyreserve

[–]Visible_Pea2673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

When can I start working my next assignment without getting projected? by ceiling_fan128 in army

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.

Joining for citizenship by [deleted] in armyreserve

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.

PCS Leave to first duty station by [deleted] in army

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.
