 Hi, I'm CTN1 Jessica Gockel, stationed at Center for Information Dominance Unit, Corey Station, currently on the Joint Cyber Analysis Course Course Supervisor and Lead Military Instructor. Through the Navy Cool Program, I've obtained two civilian certifications, CompTIA Network Plus and Security Plus. These certs not only help you throughout your career by setting out amongst your peers, it shows you that you've taken the initiative in order to complete extra follow-on training. But on a financial aspect, they have also saved me over $500 in test costs. Over time, this will also add to thousands of dollars from promotion, possible promotions in ranking boards and in the civilian sector. From this, I've already met the requirements that the civilian sector is looking for by having these certifications. When I plan to retire, I plan on going into the cyber operations field.
