Good morning, Everyone.
I know in my last post, I said I am majoring in Engineering as an NROTC Marine-Option next year, but with all of the activity in cyberspace, "the new frontier", I am considering pursuing the new 1702 Cyber Warfare MOS. A buddy of mine from Virginia is joining the USMC as well and we started talking about cyber last month.
I know it is a LONG way down the road & relatively new with little information, but:

I know it is a LONG way down the road & relatively new with little information, but:
- What does the training pipeline look like?
- At TBS, do you think they would prioritize me for the MOS since I would have a technical background from engineering?
- I've heard many Marines transfer to Cyber from other MOS fields (Infantry, Armor, Etc). Would I gain more respect as an Officer in Cyber if I did that?
- Is there any specific part of TBS that tests our Cyber / Technical abilities?
- Could earning IT Certifications before I commission help in any way with earning the MOS?
- Do they offer any internship programs? I found this LINK from MARFORCYBER but its a few years old.
- Is there a "Cyber Contract" similar to the Law & Aviation Contracts for Marine Officers?
- Would anyone here recommend USMC Cyber? Why / Why Not?
