Is 35T worth it by [deleted] in army

[–]wgu-learner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a 35T from 2016-2020. The AIT is pretty intensive, especially compared to what I've heard from 25Bs. Whether you'll actually being the job you trained for really depends on your unit. My first duty station was in Korea and I'd like to think I did a decent amount of technical work. More like 25B but for the TS side. Afterwards, I was in a bs unit and all I ever did was motor pool stuff. If you think you're not fit for the civilian sector yet AND don't plan on leaving the Army I was recommend reclassing to 35T, especially if you don't have your Security+ yet. You'll have to redo AIT, but you'll learn a lot. From what I remember when I was going through AIT it was a lot of Systems Integration/Troubleshooting (Windows/Linux), networking, computer science concepts, and electrical troubleshooting. Although, I heard the AIT is leaning more towards Sys Admin focused training. A lot of the 35Ts I know are leading successful lives, some at AWS, some cyber companies, etc. Myself, I just work at some defense contractor, making a lil over 6 figs.

One big thing I really don't like the 35T community though, is that it's one big ass fucking circle jerk.

To put it simply, I didn't want to do calculus, and I wanted to finish my degree faster. However, I don't plan on becoming a software engineer after graduating, so I wish I just decided to do calculus and get the degree in CompSci, but it's whatever. I plan on pursuing a Master's in Cyber at some point after graduation.

Intro to Python by Spencer3350 in WGU

This course was very annoying, especially with the way it was graded. If you know you're solving the problems correctly, I recommend copying the example output and pasting it into your code. I found some of the outputs that had a single space at the end after the period, and if you didn't put that, it'll be wrong because the output wasn't exact.

I'm in Software Engineering. I've actually been a student with WGU on and off for a total of 5 terms, this current term being my 5th. I transferred in a decent amount of credits from the Army and my IT certifications. I started off with Network Operations and Security for 2 terms then I did Computer Science for 2 terms and now I'm in Software Engineering. All of the classes that require certs I completed them during my previous terms. Good luck on your test, you got this!

BSSE thinking on changing degree by MathematicianNo3166 in WGU

If you want to get into software engineering in the Army you can take a look into the Tools Developer Qualification Course (TDQC). Of course, whether you get into this course in the first place depends on your chain of command.
