First and foremost I know it is my son's responsibility to look this up but I also don't feel like I'm being the best parent I can unless I do a little homework also. My son is going to college and is looking also at joining the military to help pay for college and also give him that advantage in the job market with hands-on experience and a top secret security clearance and also a degree.

When he was in high school he took an online course on ethical hacking the teacher said he did a great job and gave him a push for cybersecurity job field. So I want to know what branch is the top branch for cybersecurity right now? Is there any trick MOS like you have a to pick a MOS that seems like it has nothing to do with it but it's subcategory does? Thank for the help and advice! I just want to be there for my son and help him wish someone would have done that for me when I went into the military! Grunts all we got are some cool ass stories and I now found people get offended by them.

Air Force does all the satellite work.

Yep. AF. An added perk - enlisted in the AF live better than many junior officers in the Army.

Realistically... branch is irrelevant cuz contractors are gonna be the ones actually running that shitshow, regardless of whose base their office is located on

But AF def has the biggest budget and therefore the most contractors lol

The Navy is the proponent for cryptography within the DoD. Them and the Air Force are tops when it comes to tech.
