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