    Question about my IT certfications

    Hello Jordan, I am a senior IST (16 years in the job, LCIS before IST) and I hold a position of importance within the IST trade. I can tell you that the certs you have are important and should hold some sway to point you into the IST stream. For me, just passing the OSCP is proof of ability as...

    I am an IST coming from being a tech and like everyone says, we are hand tied when it comes to accessing things on the network like routers/switches etc... In the last 12 years, I have taken the CCNA bootcamp 3 times/Voip, etc... But then I come back to the unit and we are not granted access to...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    So, I heard a rumor... The rumor goes like this, IST could be removed as a sub occ. IST's who were techs will go back to CST and IST Sig Ops will go to ACISS core. Just a rumor, but if spec pay is proving to be difficult to get for all sub occ's, I could see this coming to fruition. It...

    Maybe someone here has an answer on this... Right now I am the 2IC of a TE Section...(Base Phone switch and DSL Installs) LCIS Tech....I think I still am...I applied for IST as all my college and military training up till this point is IS centric. If I become an IST tech, will I be posted out...

    I think it is just a job save project for the Sig Ops too. At the MES brief I went to, there was a CWO representing LCIS, Line and Sig Ops.... Who did all of the talking....The Sig Op Chief.... The LCIS and Line Chiefs never said a word. It just made me feel that perhaps they were not in...
