Any questions about 17D or the AF in general? ASK! Very Respectfully, - Captain in the USAF

Hello, Its been a while (a couple years lol) since I posted something here. Hopefully, for those who are interested or know people who are interested in Cyberspace Operations for the USAF you'll find this information helpful. 1. What is a 17D? Someone who is designated the AFSC "17D" is...

NP! It definitely expanding. There's talks now turning the base comma in cyber protection teams and handing the base comm workload to contractors. the AF is trying to play catch up with cyber and doing great well with it.

Yes and no. I wouldn't get so caught in the AFSC names. At the end of the day you are 17D. It really depends on you unit. For example, I know a few guys who are 17Ds and stationed at the 7th Intelligence Squadron. Who is knee deep with [a great intelligence agency who we see on the news...

I'm sure it changed since I graduated but in my time (2014-2015) it was usually top performers, but that was only because 17S billets were scarce. Now they are more available due to Cyber Protection Teams being stood up. Jobs such as JCSE and JCU you have the opportunity to go to jump school and...

Hey tibreaker, There is no hard clear cut distinguisher between the two. 17D is athe core afsc while 17S is a shred out. Most officers who are 17S's manage some type of USAF weapon system among other things. The Air Force calls a 17D a Network Operations Officer while a 17S is Cyber Warfare...

It was discussed during the Corona. I imagine within the year. I'll post what the 24AF CC sent us when I have access to my email.

Good Afternoon All, FYSA, Just got word from the 24th AF Commander that they are merging 24AF and 25AF into a single Numbered Air Force under ACC. *Which in my opinion is great. But AFSOC would be better :)*. This merger is supposed to: - generate unity of command and unity of effort for...

Since Cyber is currently going through a critical skills retention board (CSRB), it won't be hard. Cyber is an emerging career field for the Air Force, so if its your first choice, it highly likely to get it. However, we still have to account for the "needs of the Air Force" at that particular...

From my understanding, each branch overall mission is to defend their respective networks within the DISA enclave. Each branch has their own "red & blue" cyber teams to carry out taskers given out from their commander. If I had to choose I would stick with the AF. Keep in mind that if your are...

The United States Cyber Command is a sub-unified command under US STRATCOM. 24th AF handles all the cyber missions for the USAF. Although, you can be a cyber guy/girl in a squadron that falls under any MAJCOM (i.e. ACC, AFGSC, AMC etc). There are cyber individuals that serve in acquisitions...

@The Irish Potato Agreeing with @Sled said, as a officer in the Security Forces AFSC you will exactly be doing OPR/EPR writing, planning procedures at events and occasionally checking IDs at the gate :) (when they have free time out the office).

I'm here for any questions. Feel free to PM any questions.

@Non Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. But I will be more than happy to answer your questions and any other follow on. 1. So UCT is 6 months of intensive training at Keesler AFB. To prepare for UCT, I would personally recommend getting familiar with command line on windows and...

Noted. Thanks sled.

You will/cannot get a CAC but you can get a Reserves "Green" military ID card.

AJ1232, I can confirm later, but I believe you will get a $500 uniform allowance on your first LES. When MyPay is up I will confirm.

Welcome to the dark side.

In a nutshell: Missiles - the people who sit in the capsules waiting on the presidents say so to launch. They go thru endless day to day checklists. They are on call 24/7. Why they have flight suits don't know but a friend of mines says its way more comfortable when they are down there. Space...
