The vision of the Medina Valley CyberPatriots program is to promote cyber awareness, computer security practices, and cyber ethics. All of these are essential attributes for creating a secure network infrastructure, teaching the students how to detect threats, and how to defend against cyber-attacks in a safe virtual environment. The skills and knowledge the students will gain from participating in this program will give them an advantage to obtain information technology certifications, scholarships in computer related fields of study, and ultimately provide an opportunity to start a great career in information technology and cyber security. The mission of the Medina Valley CyberPatriot program is the proper instruction and implementation of information technology principals and cyber security practices. All students will be taught how to use various operating systems, interconnecting network devices, and how to secure the entire infrastructure. The students will also be taught how to properly use tools and methodologies to assess and troubleshoot problems that range from inoperable workstations to misconfigured networking equipment. These are the skills that will be necessary to compete in the CyberPatriot competitions and will enable us to advance to each round and ultimately to the national finals.

Another Great Day of Cyber Shenanigans with the Medina Valley AFJROTC CyberPatriot Team!

Today, our Cyber Panthers were hard at work sharpening their skills in their individual disciplines: Windows, Linux, and Cisco! Whether they were battling Windows settings, wrestling with Linux commands, or trying to convince Cisco devices to communicate without starting an argument, everyone was getting some serious hands-on training!

But wait... THERE'S MORE!

Today, every team member who attended practice received their very own login credentials to Coach Hall's (The Cyber Viking) Val-HALL-ah Cyber Viking Training Platform!

That's right! The updated, LIVE version of Val-HALL-ah is officially in the hands of our Cyber Panthers! Everyone had a great time logging in, exploring the training halls, and discovering what their slightly crazy Cyber Viking has been building. Yes, I actually do cyber stuff when I'm not telling bad jokes!

NOW FOR SOME HUGE NEWS!

On Tuesday, November 10th, three of our very own Cyber Panthers — Drama Queen, Danger Mouse, and Time Master — will be joining me at Medina Valley Middle School!

Our mission? Help the middle school CyberPatriot team prepare for their VERY FIRST CyberPatriot competition!

That's right! Our experienced Cyber Panthers will be sharing their knowledge, skills, and competition experience with the next generation of cyber defenders!

I'm not sure the middle school is ready for a Cyber Viking, a Drama Queen, a Danger Mouse, and a Time Master all showing up together! What could possibly go wrong? HAHAHA!

Seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing our team members step into leadership and mentorship roles. That's what this program is all about: learning, competing, succeeding, and helping others do the same!

Outstanding practice today, Cyber Panthers!

Enjoy the rest of your week, because ROUND 2 IS NEXT WEEK! Time to put all that training to work!
