Researching..

So today I spent the day looking at a bunch of posts on ArmyBasic.org and researching some stuff on GoArmy.com. I figure that I'd best be suited with a Field 25 (Signals) job, more specifically 25B which is Information Technology Specialist. My main duties would be:

  • Identifying computer-user problems and coordinating to resolve them
  • Installing, configuring and monitoring local and wide-area networks, hardware and software
  • Compiling, entering and processing information
  • Providing customer and network administration services such as passwords, electronic mail accounts, security and troubleshooting
  • Constructing, editing and testing computer system programs
  • Conducting data system studies and preparing documentation and specifications for proposals
  • Assisting in the design, preparation, editing and testing of computer programs
I'm/I'd like to be a Computer Science major (whilst minoring in Japanese) and I figure this MOS would be perfect for me. Not only would it reteach me Networking fundamentals (most likely Cisco Networking), working with data, assist in running servers as an Administrator, and programming applications. Those are the primary things that the the Computer Science field is based around, and I figure by being a 25B I'd be one step ahead of the game in College.
