@JoeFnMiller @justamuse167972 @johnpavlovitz your local businesses still rely on imports at some part of the supply chain. blanket tariffs will make everything more expensive at all levels
I hate this. I hate that military suicides are a thing. I hate that EOD suicides are a thing. I hate that my former Soldiers are hurting because they lost a friend.
Make sure you reach out to a friend this weekend. Pick someone that you havenโt spoken to in a while. Pick someone who recently separated. Pick the person who always seemed happy.
Buddy checks matter. Will they stop every suicide? No. But letting people know you care matters.
If youโre struggling dial 988

@TheIOGuy tbh I'm all for special berets for special elements, but why steel gray? afaik it's not part of the heraldry for the branch (like, the tab actually is, why not silver?)
I ask for somewhat selfish reasons, steel gray is the cyber branch color:p
Let's discuss university degrees and whether or not they're required for cybersecurity.
This may come as a shocker to some people, but universities are higher education institutions. Universities are not job fairs. If you attend a university your primary objective is to get an education and hope that this can directly transform into getting a career where you can apply this knowledge. A university does not necessarily mean you're being taught cutting edge material and it does not guarantee a job anywhere.
An education is not the same as on the job experience and it does not directly correlate to what is (or is not) trending in the market place. Some employers discriminate against people who do not hold a degree because they believe the person may lack sufficient educational requirements for the position, but fail to realize on the job experience may be superior to a traditional higher education route.
If you've got a degree, that is very cool. Congratulations.
If you do not have a degree, that is very cool. Congratulations.
Cybersecurity is a unique career field in that there is no traditional career path to reach the 'end goal'. It is a flexible career field and can accommodate essentially anyone regardless of how they tailored their skills.
Having a degree does not make you a superior person. Not having a degree does not make you a superior person. We are all colleagues. Be nice to each other.
Enjoy your weekend.
Listen to me. I implore you. Listen to me with your entire soul:
Joy and whimsy and delight are for everyone, at every age. Embrace every moment of wonder you possibly can. Life is so short.
