I just saw this and thought there might be a few here that can take advantage of it.

Here are the requirements

EDIT: I need to work on reading things more closely, military experience is not required.

And it's not currently open but you can sign up to be notified. Sorry for the basically useless post.

I seen that last weekend and signed up for notifications before i read the part about it not being open right now. That would be nice to save some money!

Looks like a great opportunity when it's open again. I'm currently studying for CCNA Security. Starting in a NOC role later this month. Maybe it will open again once I have more free time and have finished the Bachelors.
