SPC (Join to see) - After the cert, are you looking to transition, or stay in the military?

VCTP from Syracuse IVMF will let you certify for a cert free. It's simply Skillport with a cert voucher. Talk with S-6 about a free cert voucher.

SPC (Join to see) - Seems you're unsure right now, which is okay. But that's way too broad. What type of skills do you want to learn and use? What types of problems do you want to solve? What type(s) of equipment do you like to work with?

I can say this in general about Bragg - JCU and that training complex behind the gas station on TSC side are instant gold mines for info. There's always landwarnet.army.mil, Skillport, JKO, and college.

Here's a slew of people who can help us get you more valuable info -

My major experience in the army is working with equipment such as 1523e radios, stts, ups, and up as. So I'm leaning towards electronic equipment, as it is something I'm more familiar with and though new, actually enjoy doing.

If you are interested in building and working with electronics, there is a great website community called Element14. They have a section devoted to learning about electronics to include designing, repair, building, and more. I hope this helps . https://www.element14.com/community/welcome

There’s a wide variety of ways you can go.
I would shoot for WHCA. There are a few chiefs over there at Bragg who can help you.
