Air Force Jobs
The three jobs that I am interested in going into Air Force are Contracting, Cyber Surety, and Cyber System Operations. All three jobs are in the "General" area and all require pretty high scores with both Cyber Surety and Cyber System Operations requiring a general score of 62 while Contracting requires a general score of 72.

The skills I possess for this job aren't many. I know a little about computers and some commands to navigate the system and fix some things.

Skills wise I have none, but I could learn from my dad or from the "Cyber Systems Operations Initial Skills" course. When I retire from the Air Force I can either create tools for the U.S. government to use or teach civilians to do

    I can remember sitting through my computer engineering courses in awe at how wonderfully complex the components of the computer can be; how each component works in synchronization only rivaled by clockwork. Now that I have graduated with a degree in computer engineering I am confident that I can bring what I have learned to the Air Force as an Officer to help make a difference whether it be by taking charge of a project, assisting in research and development or by helping others. I am motivated by finding tasks that I can excel in. If such a task fascinates me I will spend hours trying to learn it and complete it as efficiently as possible. An example of this is during one of my programming assignments where I spent eight consecutive hours attempting to get a program to work flawlessly.…
