Its cool to see what my old AFSC evolved into. In the 80's I was a Communications Computer Systems Operator. I worked on mainframe computer systems. Mainly an IBM 4381. The tech school was at Keesler even back then.
Just got into Client Systems, signed my contract 3 months ago, super excited. Will be heading to Lackland, TX for BMT july 5th and will do 5 months at Keesler, AFB MS. Super excited, thanks for posting this!
I’ve been seriously considering joining the Air Force and this is the job I am the most interested in so I searched it on TH-cam and found Jonathan’s channel and I have been watching Air Force videos trying to find out as much information as possible.
Hey Kyle. I was in your AFSC prior to joining what eventually became this one (This was 491X1 / X=7 for me) and we worked mainframes on a base level. I was even stationed at Okinawa as Structural Repair in the 18th before it combined with Corrosion Control (they used to be seperate AFSC's).
Thank you for this video. I'm currently in college for computer/networking technology and most of the other branches I looked at didn't have anything that was this closely related to a sysadmin.
With a bachelors degree in computer networks and cyber, multiple certs, and experience as a security engineer for a large telecom, what kinda cyber position should I be applying for as an Air Force officer?
Awesome video and incredible interview. Hearing these stories is incredible, and learning about their experiences is incredible, and I am learning from each one.
@@jackson1366 I’m wondering how long was the wait after you swore in because I’ve heard different people say that it was in demand and some says cyber jobs aren’t and the ship out waiting period is long because of it? I honestly don’t wanna wait a year to ship out 😂😭
@@ceeceeyoungblood9626 I was in the dep for a year but that wasn’t related to my job but because I was a senior, it shouldn’t be that long of a wait if your ready to ship out
@@jackson1366 I’m graduating this month and take my ASVAB next week so and I really wanna leave as soon as possible I was worried that if I take a cyber job it will delay my ship out date

Nothing against this guy but not really much info about the 3D0X2 career field. If you want folks to learn about cyber ops you should be interviewing folks with more experience in the job and not A1Cs. As for advice because I don't want to just nitpick. Cyber Ops is what you make it. If you're lazy don't expect to get the experience you need for a six figure IT job on the outside. Get out of your comfort zone and jump on those hard to solve trouble tickets and projects. The folks who excel do so because they have the drive and initiative to solve tough problems. There is usually no guidance when it comes to troubleshooting system issues outside of more senior technicians who have seen similar issues in the past. Be ready for trial and error as well as a lot of google and frustration trying to get answers from Tier 1 administrators.
Hey buddy A1Cs have experience too I've been in a 1C for three years It's not easy to promote, but two years to three years is more than enough time to know how to do your job.
If you already have Sec + then you still go through technical school, you just graduate after completing your courses while everybody else stays at least an extra 2 weeks to stress their minds out about having to try to pass Sec +
Thank you to both Kyle and Jonathan for providing this information. I am looking at this job for the Air National Guard and the Wing I am joining has this job available.
Hey could I still get this job if I qualify even if I know nothing about cyber security? My asvab was a 76 w solid composite scores can’t remember off the top of my head but I really want to get into cyber security because of the job outlook into the future and think the Air Force is the best way to do that?
Yes you can, they will send you to technical school to train you. I knew almost nothing about IT before joining the Air Force besides TH-cam and Facebook
Thank you for sharing information in details like that. I have a question: what if you have Sec+ before going to tech school, will the training get shorter?
Slightly shorter. You still have to go through the entirety of training, you just dont have to do the extra 2 weeks I believe it is to study for the test because you already have it
Hey im thinking about joining the air Force I am a senior in highschool and am interested in the I.T. field, I am already in a computer tech class for half my day that covers, A+ certification, and basic networking including setting up industrial servers and switches, as well as cyber security, would this be a good fit for me?
You can get certain certificates for stuff your learn in tech school, which can help you out if you pursuit IT work after the Air Force and do more college studying in it. An IT job outside of the Air Force range from 40k-100k yearly salary.
My boyfriend left for basic on July 31 and he booked this job and I'm pretty sure on the airforce website says that tech school is 56 days not 4 months is this right?
Its about 4 months. He should be getting out pretty soon if he started basic July 31 that means he’ll probably be graduating tech school somewhere in February or early March (if he passes everything first try and there arent long waits for classes).
Cyber transport deals with more hardware and physical aspects of IT. Such as routers, switches, taclanes, cabling, etc. Cyber Systems are generically your server/sys admin guys.
Hello idk very much about the military but i was wondering do you get paid differently depending on what job you do? or is it only about the base pay, bah, ect.
Yes and no... everyone gets base pay.. however some jobs get bonuses like hazard pay if stationed in a combat environment (hence probably not this job, maybe of you actually getting deployed but I'm not positive on that)
@@Sk8Gnarley darn I'm hoping to get this job I'm currently in DEP and I was kinda excited that I'd only have to be away from my family for 4 months total (bmt and tech school) but I guess since tech school is 4 it'll be more like 6 months
This is more like information technology more than computer science but they definitely overlap eachother. Cyber surety ironically does not deal with cyber security at all. Cyber security would be 1B4X1 Cyber Warfare Operations
Is it hard to get this job? its one if my top picks and I really want it but people are telling me they don’t hire much anyone have any experience booking this job
54 class room days. That doesn't count, your first 1-4 weeks you'll be at tech school in processing and doing details, weekends, down days, or holidays.
Please anybody in this channel can answer me. Is the microblading eyebrow allowed in the airforce? Please i need your help. Been searching some answer and couldn’t find any in the airforce.
Yes it's considered a permanent makeup so it needs to follow the regulations. It needs to blend well and not be "flashy" so just don't go y=mx+b on them lol

I joined in May 2017 as a Cyber Operator. It’s not a bad career field, but sitting at a desk at computers isn’t for everyone.
I watch Johnathans youtube videos too it was a pleasant surprise to see him in this interview!!
I’m gonna go in already finished with the Sec+ man I am so stoked.

This is my job shipping February 18. Anyone else???
Can you tell me what you scored on the ASVAB to get in?
How’d it go?
What happens if you already have sec+? I just wouldnt have to take the test? o_O
If you already have Sec + then you still go through technical school, you just graduate after completing your courses while everybody else stays at least an extra 2 weeks to stress their minds out about having to try to pass Sec +
Hey Kyle can you make a video about aircrew such as crewchiefs or pilots
Reaper 707 pilots are officers though
What score do I need to get on my avsab for this job ? And how could I study for it
GA=64 got it my first try, just GA is general so you have to do good all around mostly math and reading
Thank you to both Kyle and Jonathan for providing this information. I am looking at this job for the Air National Guard and the Wing I am joining has this job available.
Any shot that you have someone lined up for Airborne Mission Systems? I ship out in December and it would really help having a first person account.

You can get certain certificates for stuff your learn in tech school, which can help you out if you pursuit IT work after the Air Force and do more college studying in it. An IT job outside of the Air Force range from 40k-100k yearly salary.
What cyber job deals more with cybersecurity?
@@syst3mbl0w3r6 no this isn’t true. Cyber security will be more 1B4X1 Cyber Warfare Operations
My boyfriend left for basic on July 31 and he booked this job and I'm pretty sure on the airforce website says that tech school is 56 days not 4 months is this right?
I don’t think they count the weekends so that’s why it’s a little bit longer
Its about 4 months. He should be getting out pretty soon if he started basic July 31 that means he’ll probably be graduating tech school somewhere in February or early March (if he passes everything first try and there arent long waits for classes).
Whats the differences between this and cyber transport system? I get both are IT but in what ways??
Cyber transport deals with more hardware and physical aspects of IT. Such as routers, switches, taclanes, cabling, etc. Cyber Systems are generically your server/sys admin guys.
Do I have to do good on the arithmetic reasoning section of the Asvab for this job?
Yes. Do really well on the math and English part and you should be set.
if i know nothing about technology but i want a job that will let me be stationed anywhere, would i still be able to do well at this job?
Yes they will teach you what you need to know as long as your ASVAB score qualifies you for it
Hello idk very much about the military but i was wondering do you get paid differently depending on what job you do? or is it only about the base pay, bah, ect.
Yes and no... everyone gets base pay.. however some jobs get bonuses like hazard pay if stationed in a combat environment (hence probably not this job, maybe of you actually getting deployed but I'm not positive on that)
@@kodymccague3844 appreciate it !
Is basics and tech school apart of your 4 years??!
Can you doing one in client systems? That’s the only 3D I’m qualified for. People kept saying it’s not a good job.
For client systems, you work a lot with the hardware side of things.
How often did/do you get to see your significant other while in the military?
Can you please interview an airborne linguist?
Good interview.
Is there a minimum asvab score to get this also?
I believe minimum asvab score is 62
Is it mandatory to pass the CompTIA Sec+ Certification Exam in order to graduate from tech school?
What asvab score do you need ?
65 asvab, 60 electronics, 45 general
Tech school has indeed changed it's only 66 days so about 2 months not 4
It was 66 days when I went too, weekends and down Fridays dont count.

No its about 4 months. When i went it was from December 18 - April 13.
For anyone who has this job how long did it take you to get it? This is the MOS that I want right now but I hope I don’t have to wait months for it.
If you already have sec+ how would your tech school go?
It would be shortened about 2 weeks.
Could you pass this tech school/ learn this job with no experience or background in IT?
Yes
