ENLISTED CYBER MASTER'S DEGREE OPPORTUNITY AT NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL
CTNs and ITs ... What an awesome opportunity!
Below, you will find a highlighted copy of the recent NAVADMIN (057/14) advertising a 12-month Master of Science in Applied Cyber Operations to CTNs and ITs, E6 or above.
Higher education is something our Information Dominance Corps (rightfully) pushes heavily. We work in very technical fields that demand not only the brightest individuals, but also academics. This is a good thing. In this push to "increase the Navy's cyber capabilities, while building a professional cyber workforce," your Navy and cyber experience mixed with focused studies in a formal masters program at a quality school has the potential for great results, for the Navy and for you both professionally and personally.
The Officer ranks have been taking advantage of graduate education for some time and I am very excited to see the emphasis pushed to Chiefs and First Classes.
I hope all qualified and interested Sailors take advantage of this opportunity!
Last years selectees were announced in NAVADMIN 186/13 which you can find here.

What's on your reading list?
What are you reading? Need a recommendation? Need motivation?
"The problem with being too busy to read is that you learn by experience (or by your men’s experience), i.e. the hard way. By reading, you learn through others’ experiences, generally a better way to do business, especially in our line of work where the consequences of incompetence are so final for young men." ~ Gen. James Mattis1
In a recent CNO's Rapid Innovation Cell (CRIC) Podcast, Mario Vulcano, instructor for our Information Warfare Basic Course (IWBC) was interviewed on a few topics centering around an endeavor titled, "Investing in Tomorrow's Leaders, Today".
Listen to the full podcast at the bottom off this post.

Let the coding games begin!
Happy New Year! Resolutions? How's your coding skills coming along?
Back in September I posted the article, "3 reasons why you need to learn to code". It talked a little bit about why people should code, but it didn't give any direction on where to begin, practice, or play!
A while back I had a number of Sailors (CTN flavor) bring up that they didn't feel comfortable writing code, and that was a topic covered in the advancement exam. What resulted was really quite awesome...

Sebastian Thrun and the 21st Century Textbook
About a month ago I was attending the Tech-X conference at USAA's main campus. What a great setup they have for all their Information Technology employees. They push for employee innovation and customer satisfaction at every turn.
The keynote speaker for the event was Sebastian Thrun (DARPA Grand Challenge, Google Glass, Google Autonomous car, Standford Professor, Udacity, genius...)
This guy has been around the block in new technologies and has a complete and contagious passion for his work.
