Not an accurate comparison - main difference being that the Cyber center is teaching cyber from a military perspective vice a general cyber degree (like an economic/EE degree). The Navy is pretty much making Cyber Warfare Officers without a supporting career pipeline. I have no idea where you're ge...

Not saying it's not useful, but how does having this specific major support the non-cyber areas of an 1810? I'm constantly hearing from JO's that all they want to do is cyber and having this major won't stop the question. Additionally, how will this impact retention? I can imagine that USNA Ensigns...

It just occurred to me that it would be incredibly important to make sure there is a strong undercurrent of ethics and technology integrated into the vision. Just because we can do something doesn't mean its right, and just because it might be legal doesn't mean it is the best means of getting at a ...

I wouldn't dispute your perspective on how things should be; in fact, i agree. I'm even a proponent of a cyber service. However, the Navy doesn't perceive IO as written in joint doctrine and (sometimes) executed in other services. One could argue IO wasn't ever fully accepted in the Navy. Thus, our...

Vision would be to produce URL leaders capable of understanding cyber warfare (those things espoused by Sum1), but also capable of understanding where cyber warfare needs to exist within the Navy organizational and joint structure in order enjoy success. I personally believe this is the most visibl...

The Center exists and the building is still under construction. Here's a link to the website. Canvas still looks pretty blank...what should we paint on it? https://www.usna.edu/CyberCenter/index.php If I were king for a day, I'd try to develop a nationwide military culture where we don't look at cy...

It's been up and running for a little while now, correct? What is the current "vision" or focus of the center?

It does mean something and apparently needs to be there. Two officers that went to command this year were QIO. The list includes specific names, not just anyone who wasn't selected. Maybe the title is misleading but the process has purpose. We used to not publish those in the bank. That has since c...

QIO shouldn't even be in the instruction. It doesn't mean anything, other than an available body with correct timing. It does mean something and apparently needs to be there.

don't think most people can. but, if it's workable into the larger life goals one has - why not? for most of us, it would be a tremendous and humbling honor, no matter how it were to come about. Completely agree, but when its causing stress and mental anguish to you to not know if you might be in s...
