    Thanks for all the info, you're awesome! I've been thinking of enlisting, somewhere in Cyber, but I am considering doing the Reserves. I was wondering, if you could go back and do it again, would you enlist as Reserves or Active Duty and why?

    I’m about to join the AF and I’m looking into cyber system operations or cyber transport system as a career. They bout sound similar to me, I don’t have any experience in IT but I’m would like to work with data centers, switches, routers stuff like that and eventually get my ccna certification . Can you get me any advice on what career should I choose. Thank you for your time Jonathan!

    • @Sk8Gnarley
      @Sk8Gnarley  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cyber transport is definitely more that job, cyber system ops is server administration work, we dont really work with switches etc. in that manner. Hope that helps! Both are great jobs though.

    Hey Jonathan, I love ur videos. I scored a 54 and cyber jobs was on my list. My recruiter said I wouldn’t be able to qualify for the jobs . Is 54 a decent score or should I retake asvab ?

    • @Sk8Gnarley
      @Sk8Gnarley  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It all depends on what job specifically you want to do, ask your recruiter for a list with the score requirements. If you need to retest to get the score you want then do it! Just remember it doesn’t guarantee youll get that job, just the chance at it. Also thanks for watching im glad you like the videos!

    I really want to join the Air Force and grew up on Oahu in Hawaii.. What are the chances of getting a cyber job/career at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam? Im trying to find my angle to get back to Hawaii.. Looking into Cybersecurity and wonder if it would be to my advantage to get my CompTia Security+ certification first before enlisting.

    So I see you are married. One big mistake a lot of young guys do when they joined the air force in my days (mid 1970's) is getting married when joining. There were some career fields in the air force that you cannot take your wife with you. Assignments that you had to be away from your wife for a whole year. I'm sure that all changed now since the end of the cold war.

    When you say that you are about to finish your 4 years, do you mean your 4 years of active duty meaning you still have 4 years left? If i'm not mistaken i believe all contracts specify a total of 8 years.
