It's easier to go B or C first and then reclass to E. Just something to think about. Depends on what your long term goals are. And that's a looooooooooooong way down the road from where you are.

I don't have a hard-set long term goal. My immediate goal is to get on a team and start learning to be an asset. I figured I could help out more with 18E due to my background. But, really SF in any capacity is my goal.

Question: if you already do all this networking at home, why do you want to go to an MOS school for it? If you have a choice in MOS's, wouldn't you want to pick something up that will better crosstrain you and make you more marketable? Just a thought. Most 18E's that came before you were not commo previously.

I used to do computer network support in college and I have a computer science degree, but I don't know about radios, antenna theory, and satellites.
