Wow...I guess I should tell all of my AF EE(networks) classmates that they are wasting their time. BTW, NPS has a Networks EE track. I guess its just smoke and mirrors as far as the AF is concearned.

I'm only posting to get rid of this 666 post count, but, for what it's worth, the above link no longer works :-P

They may have more personnel invested, but the Navy is still the only service that has a specific career field focused in this area. So what you are looking at is quality vs quantity. Especially with the reinvestment into the cyberworkforce protecting our networks.

The AF has a Cyber Operations Officer field.

Looks like IP + Space + METOC. Interesting to note they seem to have separated it from their traditional intel. Kind of makes sense, I guess. That way they aren't sacrificing from traditional intel to feed burgeoning cyber demand. I'll bet they are growing their numbers by reclassifying obsoleted functions and pulling the billets over. Probably a wise approach for maintaing appropriate end strength, topicality, and advancement opportunity for those "communities" affected. Of course, its Air Force, so its probably just all new billet growth.

Well, they already combined all their IW-like and Intel-like functions under the same officer designator, so the fact that they didn't do that with the cyber stuff doesn't impress me.
