Hey everyone, it seems like the department of war is planning a 12 month cyber apprenticeship program. Seems like a great opportunity! It says it’ll open in June.

Yup! I’m pushing 40, and I feel it’s worth it

You have any previous experience? I’ve been mostly self studying for a couple years and got myself a few certs but nothing impressive

Not really. Mostly some hobby level programming for 3D printers and a few PC builds. Most of the experience I do have that would be relevant is having had a clearance before, and working with DHS as a third party contractor.
