Is 3d0x3 or "cyber surety" a good job in the air force...

is 3d0x3 or "cyber surety" a good job in the air force? im enlisting during my senior year and going to bmt after high school. Im currently entering my senior year.

I'm also going in after senior year, what did you score on your asvab?

Im gonna take later this year before i enlist.

Fucking pussies in the Chair Force. Literally just a bunch of civilians wearing a uniform.

At least we wont die :)

Here's a helpful hint. When signing contracts with the air force there is a part that says something along the lines of if your job becomes unavailable during boot camp/BCT you will be assigned to where ever someone is needed. So basically if you even get placed in that job there is still a chance it'll change when its to late to back out or change branches.

Oh, well good luck on that. I probably would've picked cyber security as one of my 5 fields after I took the asvab, but I didn't see it on the list. I got a 97 so I pretty much had my pick of the litter, I dunno, maybe it's not offered?

You don't have to do the usaf to not die. Nuke tech in the navy is way better as far as jobs go

There are jobs in all branches that don't require actual ground combat. I'm enlisted in the army and shipping out soon to become an information technology specialist.

well i was reading some forums and a guy had cyber security and he scored a 96

Mad because he chose the wrong branch :^)
Also, next to the Marines, the air force has the highest physical fitness requirements. How's that for chair force, fucko?

Huh, maybe I just didn't look hard enough

Thats a crock of shit. They are way more fat airmen than hooahs or sailors.

Thats whats up, TI guys have it made when they get out. Just don't look like a bag of ass like every other soldier I've seen.

i honestly dont know tho cause i have not took the asvab yet,but how "hard" is the asvab, and also what did you study?

Job availability all depends on what the branch needs at the time. If they have enough cyber airmen, they don't need to recruit any more. Kinda more timing and luck

>joining the chair force

Also, if you want a specific garranteed job and not just a job in a certain field or have a chance for your job to change. Join the army, its the only branch that let's you pick a specific job that can't be taken away from you. Unless of course you fuck up somewhere along the way like don't qualify with your OPAT score, or don't get a security clearance if one is needed.

The asvab is like the SATs. Just study basic stuff and you'll do fine. nothing fancy like calculus, but from what I remember there was some algebra and stuff like that.

Or just don't join the military... if you only want a specific job and thats the driving factor, I don't think the military is the thing for you. theres so many people who aren't doing their job its crazy.

Don't go chair force op. The southwest sucks balls in the summer and the recruiters are lazy as fuck unless you've already made appointments with them. And chances are, you're not going to get the job you want (I went and they only had TAC P, pest managment, and Security force, which I wanted but the fucked me over last second during job counseling at MEPs) Go Navy or Army, at least they'll try to get the job you want, trust me, San Antonio is a bitch. MA boot Hooyah.

Yes the only reason I went army is because they can check specific job availability live and can reserve it before you even go to MEPS. Also, you can just wait until the one you want is available and not be forced to make up mind.

well i have more then one job in mind trust me ive done my research.

>Complaining about USAF basic training
>Admitting to being a boot

Well, for me I coasted by high school only doing good on tests and not homework so I graduated with D's. So college isnt really an option. Thats the only reason I went military.

Boot camp didn't suck, A School in piece of shit Texas sucked

lol taking the easy way out? What a little bitch...

That being said I did the exact same thing. Its awesome. Especially when you deploy. Go out and fuck the local women while raking in taxpayer money. Time of my life.

I didn't study, but I remember basic math, algebra, paragraph comprehension, word meanings (like what word would best fill in the blank), mechanics, and this thing asking how a bunch of random shapes would fit together, point a on one touches point a on another shape, were all in the asvab. Looks like a lot but it's pretty basic stuff everyone shoukd know anyways

Oh, well then i should make atleast a 96 or 97.

I knew a 1n0 that went there. Pretty cool guy. His girlfriend was way more attractive than he was. Hope the same if true for you

Its percentile based. if you get a 97, theres only 3% of people who score better than you. Just FYSA

im assuming you werent in the military? "easy way out" Hm, well somebody has to protect the country. people put their lifes on the line so that you have your freedom.

Yea, I know. My high school was boring as shit and I wasn't interested in anything there. Im just fucking excited to do something I actually like.

I've been thinking of trying to get stationed out of the US, where would you guys recommend.

Ehh, don't count on it, me and my recruiter were both really surprised, he said mine was probably the highest score he'd see all year, not many score above an 80

Naw I'm approaching my 2nd contract. Just got promoted to E-5. Lovin it so far.

It is 99% paperwork.

Prepare to learn what security actually is: >auditing the fuck out of everything.
prepare for checklists of checklists of checklists and no one gives a shit what the airman need to do and they won't be cooperative
>policy,
the interpretation of shit that's passed through 4 levels of shit to get to you, each level written for legal/military verbage. The main sources being 1. congress/executive acts passed by people who don't and didn't use email in the 80s when they wrote it 2. tech standards written so vaguely that they could apply to any industry
>tracking and waivers.
Once you learn the billion rules you need to write a letter that a general will sign off whenever something doesn't fit it perfectly. If you are at all technical consider the concept of "white listing" websites, port+IP combos, businesses to buy from etc Consider what it would be like to need a signed legal memo type waiver for everything added to the white list.


Want other complaints? The Air Force has a huge problem where all the smart people leave to get a civilian job that pays massively better as soon as possible.

As "cyber surety" you could get 5 years of experience as "information security" get your CISSP, teach yourself the tech crap and night and go off into the 100k job. You will learn that this isn't easy or normal because everyone who has been in for longer than one enlistment hasn't accomplished that.

what branch are you?

>information technology specialist
Have fun installing windows and reinstalling shit on officer's laptops because they visited 90 porn sites and got viruses.

What branch? I would reccomend Okinawa or Mainland Japan. I've been to both and they're both awesome. For AF, I've heard germany is pretty cool

Army

Fuckin hooah

That actually sounds pretty easy since i do that at home now because of my dad.

Much love from Uncle Sams Misguided Child

Im more of an air force person myself, but i know my uncle was in Germany when he was in the army.

I'll be sure to look into it thanks

(OP) Thanks for answering my question.

If you do go into it be wary that the way you are instructed, the right way to do it, and the way it gets done are all different.

Also guard is a really good deal if you want to go to college. Depending on your state you'll do bootcamp+tech school then go back to college for free. Then you get to sacrifice 1 weekend a month instead of 6 years of your life and when you write it on the resume it still reads
>"air force IT security guy from 2016 to 2022". Only you'll probably be able to write
>"CS degree, IT security guy in AF from 2016-2022"

Oh yeah and realize the quality of the people you work with is a crapshoot. At one base I had people who would give me 3-4 things to do each day, I'd work on a project for an hour or two then study the rest of the day. I then got medals for the project. At another base I deal with a bipolar boss who will scream at me for doing what he told me to do, lie about me to everyone else and my work is considered subpar because I am doing everyone else's job to accomplish my responsibilities.

christ its too early I can't even green text right.

i was honestly planing on taking online classes while in the military for computer science and atleast do 2 contracts in the military come out and get a high paying civilian job.

You're gonna have to pass Sec+ op

wait you cant do a 4 yr enlistment?
