It's a great cert to have but it depends on what you want to do. It will also be difficult for you if you do not have a background in security. Going from PTA/PIAs and conducting security assessments are two totally different things

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team.

I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
