Hi all! I'm working with my recruiter to prepare my package for the upcoming IWC DCO board. I was initially interested in the 1815 designator. However, after doing a lot of research I feel like I would be happy with anything within IWC as a Reserve. Posting my stats to see what you all think. Between CWO, CWE, and IP where do you all think I would best fall under? I know it's super competitive and I might have to try a few times. Thanks in advance for your feedback/comments!

I love doing CTF challenges. I go to Defcon every year and compete (ranked 22nd last year). I prefer Bsides over BlackHat and RSA. I'm into threat hunting/intelligence and breaking things. Even though I love being hands-on I'm also happy not being hands on. I'm just happy to be a part of a community and doing what I can to contribute and learn.
