[@benjaminwilliams3568]

Retired Army Sergent Williams here. Basically your work as an advanced Help Desk Support Role. Civilian equivalent? I'm a network administrator network engineer in my civilian job. Enjoy what you do Sergent, you have quality transferable hard skills for civilian life. Make sure that you hone your soft skills too, WHATEVER you do, do not come to California looking for work. The cost of living and the hourly or salary wages being paid to people in our field of IT. Does NOT allow for a good quality of life. One Sergent to another. Also take time to write up your resume and pay to have it professionally gone over by two different agencies. One last bit of advice. While your still in the Army Get Your PMP Certification. This is a Projects Manager course. These jobs in IY pay extremely well, but the workloads and demands are very high in this field. You Will earn every dime you get paid.

Hi Ricky I’m Carol Jordan DREKA mom just wanted to let u know I really really appreciate all your help with my daughter thanks for your time I really do appreciate it they need more you tubers like u to help the you tubers who are starting out may God richly bless you!!!!!

[@savgriego3402]

Best video on the signal core I’ve found so far🤟🏻 I wanted to enlist as a 25B but it was not available. I am currently enlisted as 25U. Though I am excited, I hope to reclassify in the future. 25B seems more up my alley

[@nbafan784]

Almost identical situation. But I didn't really have an MOS preference coming in and now I see that 25b would be my preferred job. Good luck!

[@TheDwilliams1000]

I was a field radio operator in the Marine Corps 0621. I want my job to work with computers. Not saying I'm not going to work with radios cause I already have experience with them,but I don't want that to be my primary mos

[@malachimorgan1440]

Was it hard to qualify on asvab to get 25b?

[@WaniEmmanuelOfficial]

@@malachimorgan1440 not really. Tbh I got a 41 on the asvab and still qualified for the 25b. You need an (st) score of: 95. I never studied for the asvab or ever took a practice test. I had the opportunity to take it right away as soon as I decided I wanted to join the army ng with the help of my recruiter. I didn’t take the test again cuz that’s what’s I wanted to get into and I got it so I was chillin

[@kuririn1975]

So she works in SASMO. That is a good place to learn comms. and the different LIS systems. But a typical 25B usually sits behind a desk answer phones and submitting work tickets via a system called Remedy. Basic IT Helpdesk Support. Others sit inside the comsec vault issuing out crypto. the 25B MOS is basically not all that anymore if someone really wants to learn networks go 25N or Q they work more with swtiches and routing. If one wants to work in the security field go 25D they are the Cyber Analyst basically. The actual hackers are the 17C.

[@militaryman3677]

Thanks so much for your video and info but I do have a few questions 1) Do prior service NCOs stay in barracks or hotel 🏨? E5/E6 2). Do they go to field a lot or does it depends on what type of unit you attached too or what? 3). How is AIT as a MOS -T in That MOS bc I knw it varies depending on what Mos you’re in 4). Do you like the MOS?

[@TRS-80Fanclub]

74B old skewls. Now called 25B, a single person running the entire NOC, TOC, or UAV king backbone. Spent my time in S3 at Icorps. (Civilian is called IT Operations Manager 80k-135k in the right area) Will find love in any Government network, including DOIM, State and DOD after the uniform. Best school IMO. Booming market in 2024 for 25B civilian growth is Colorado, Florida, Georgia.

I understand what you mean by "I'm a Bravo, I don't do that!" I was a 63B (Light Wheeled Mechanic) and my unit had Heavy Wheeled Vehicles, Tracks, Trailers, Generators, Lawn Mowers everything with an engine!! And no matter what 63 series you were, we had to work on ALL pieces of equipment. We had 63H (Track Mechanics) working on HMMWVs with us, and vice versa. So, you can't say "I'm a Bravo, I don't work on Generators" The next thing you will hear is, "OK Priv, get on your face and push down Fort Hood till I get tired!!"

I know I need one to even get into the course, but I'm stressing about passing ACFT again to graduate. I did it this weekend and made, but could hardly move later in the day, one major reason for my reclass, that and I just graduated with a Bachelors in IT and cyber.
