I'm looking for info specific to the Crypto community. I also thought it would be good to get a forum going for applicants, candidates, and officers to correspond and learn from each other. There a ton of info for SNA/NFO etc. but not much out there for Crypto.
Anybody have an idea what to expect from the Basic Crypto course following OCS? I've got a 17 April start date, so judging by the dates that line up, I'll probably be in the 19 July Crypto course. Is the training difficult, anything good to study prior to going? How are the living conditions, is COMRATS authorized?
How about follow-on assignment and future duties. What's the usual mix of sea/shore/overseas? Is graduate education hard to come by, or part of the normal path?
Well, that's enough for now. I've got plenty more where that came from, and I'm sure my fellow applicants can come up with a bunch more.
