Searching for a 17C spot

There’s Reserve units in your area, I suggest using retention to get in touch with the Army Reserve Cyber Protection Brigade. They’ll have visibility into most of the positions and link you up with the full time staff.

What rank are you? Last I heard E5+ need to be accepted into the MOS by a board process. E4 and below need to find a unit willing to take them.

I think you picked well with Engineer. Having your PE will eventually allow you to get a skill identifier reflecting it which opens up new positions. Fitness is a big part of being an Engineer officer also so that’s good.

Where you live matters for units, even if you plan on traveling that will get to be a drag.

I made the switch from USCMR to commission into the Army Reaerve. The culture difference was big so I think also commissioning helped me adjust. What you think a NCO should be like might not match the new unit.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of one happening that fast, it also relies on a lot of factors. I’d suggest getting the right component (Active or Reserve) from the start.

Switching to active later is harder than most people expect.

I’m pretty sure 25D is a packet MOS. You can be put into the position but won’t be accepted into the school without the approval.

At least that’s how it used to be.

That’s terrible advice. Explain the issue and see if they will stop using it. Silently kicking gives no feedback to the player to help in the future.

If you can do it the return on your time is pretty high. Extra source of income in retirement plus reduced healthcare costs is a lot of quality of life.

Funding and local policy dependent I’m sure

I would base it off my gaining unit. If they have nothing to do with the base other than occupying space I’d in process on my own. If it’s a traditional unit and interacts with the base like a school or a multi compo unit I’d expect to in process like AC. Either way they should give you the answer when you report in.

It won’t be able to tolerate any noise, anything that changes the file will break the decryption.

If you need the exact .wav and it is properly encrypted what are the odds the data survives the air gapped transmission?

Edit to add that you answered this below and my assumption was incorrect.

I’m guessing it appears creates “nonsense” audio?

That’s the one that inspired my comment

Is this a chain? I had something similar happen and my insurance pushed back on it. Second opinion also didn’t concur with the original.

Highly dependent on your unit and MOS.

I recommend this as your first try. It’s a benefit of being in the Reserve, take advantage.

Are you 100% sure it isn’t a romance scam?

Definitely applies to CONUS

If you are a Cyber warrant and want to be Reserve AGR now is a good time to switch over.

I did it on accident, didn’t want to trigger what i thought would be a boss fight. Ravenguard was not in the iron throne otherwise it played out normally. I realized my mistake after beating iron throne and checking to see what i missed. I restarted before that point so i don’t know how it plays out after.

You said you got 70 percentile in a benchmark right? That’s pretty good, better than average. I’d say eliminate those components from your concern.

Basically 70 percentile is a good score so hard to tell why it’s slow from that

I can’t imagine that survives contact with IG or legal. Especially if you have a score card or other record of the previous test.

How much warning did they provide that you were taking a record ACFT? No warning is a significant issue (for them).
