I just select "C" all they way down the line. Works every time.
Also, for the 40th time, get a new job.

This is DoD wide. It doesn't matter what DoD contract I'm on.

Come out and play in the Private Sector with the rest of us.

So don't you have this entire certification stack already? I mean, this isn't your first DoD job, right?

Every time I see something like this, I thank any available deity that I got out of that mess when I did. The last time I played in that arena was at JSOC at hurlburt Field in Florida, some 10 year ago.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

But you only have to make a C on the test.
Really, only a C? Makes you wonder about the necessity of this training.

Really, only a C? Cool I only have to halfway pay attention in class.

Thanks for the info.
It looks quite arduous, especially since you need to meet some requirements to be re-certified every 3 years. It also encompasses a lot of different areas that a person may never be involved with.
I feel your pain! I may have to go down that path as well in the future.

175 question 1000 points. Doesn't divide evenly. Try to find out which questions are the more weighty ones and focus on that material.

1 point for each question, 825 for getting your name right?

Consider the reported breaches. Draw your own conclusions.
(now, add the unreported breaches - that should re-enforce your guess)

Does this apply to ALL software developers working on DoD contracts or just those in certain roles?
|
|
|
|

From what I was told, it's all developers.

Thanks. And good luck in your new job
|
|

And a corollary question: Does this apply to outside suppliers to DoD, or, just DoD employees?
|
|
|
|
|
DoD civilians and contractors that are developers.
