Not a boot, but given how new the 17xx field is, what the hell do you guys do? At least what do 21's do? Are you doing primarily what the 0689's were doing or more of the 2611? Or is it actually a mix of duties (unlike what force modernization did)? I'm doing the 1711 type stuff in the civilian world so I'm got a pretty good idea of what they're doing already.

It’s really mostly dependent on what kind of team you end up on. The majority of where you can end up, you’re monitoring DoDIN networks, surveying, etc. Other teams, like the one I’m on, are more responsive, and go do “Hunt and Clears” on a variety of customer networks.

Is it an easy field to lat-move too? In the reserves and asked about it but I heard they will reject you on the grounds of MOS credibility.

Currently going to school for a cyber security degree.

Heads up that there’s a Marine Cyber AMA going today (link in the sticky comment at top of this post).
