For four years, plus the six months of &#8220;A&#8221; school training I performed various jobs ranging from standing up a brand new server room to resetting passwords, programming switches, and monitoring servers.  I had a TS clearance due to the sensitive information that I worked with, and the servers I maintained, so cybersecurity was a large part of my occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-imgur wp-block-embed-imgur\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"imgur-embed-pub\" lang=\"en\" data-id=\"Ik5vX8H\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/Ik5vX8H\">View post on imgur.com<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"\/\/s.imgur.com\/min\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some challenge coins from my time with the USCG.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-USCG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once I exited the service, I began attending college where I achieved my associates in Information Systems, Network Administration from TCC here in Virginia.  Using the TCC workforce program, I was able to study for, and take, the Security+ exam to acquire that certification which I am very grateful for such an opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I worked for a local company doing low-voltage cable work which involved installation of information systems from running copper, fiber, and co-axial cables, to installing switches, monitors, and anything else.  Sometimes we would go out to location calls to install security cameras, fire alarms, or repair network issues in small, local businesses that didn&#8217;t or couldn&#8217;t employ their own full-time IT staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leisure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of my leisure time is spent playing Tabletop Role-playing Games such as Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder.  I play a lot of computer games, particularly in the action RPG genre which include games like Path of Exile, and Dark Souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently I&#8217;m reading a book called <em>Goliath&#8217;s Curse<\/em> by Luke Kemp which explores why large societies eventually tend to collapse, and why that&#8217;s not necessarily a bad thing.  Being a generally left-leaning individual when it comes to politics, I find it very interesting and surprisingly topical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cLiving either never has any point, or is always its own point; being a naturally cheery soul, I lean towards the latter.\u201d Iain M.
