Cryptologic Warfare Officer or CSWO (Formerly IP)

Hi everyone,

I am studying for the OAR and can’t decide between CW or CWSO

I have a BBA in Cyber with a 3.3 gpa and a graduate degree in IT with a 3.9. I also have internship experience in IT Audit and Cyber operations.

I’m going back and fourth between both positions and have found tidbits of info online, but still can’t get a clear picture for what both positions entail (especially IP). For anyone who works in these positions, could you answer some of these questions so I can gauge which position would be a better fit?

Thanks

  1. What is work/life balance like for IP?
  2. For the current IPs: do you believe your skills will transfer well when you get out?
  3. Do you deploy often as an IP?
  4. Now that MWCO exist, does CW do ANY cyber?
  5. Anything else you’d like to share?
