Joint Command/Task Force (C3, C4I) Systems

Your "Intro to Network Architectures" lecture starts early. You're learning about OSI layers and TCP/IP, the backbone of C3/C4I systems. Later, in the lab, you simulate network topologies using Cisco Packet Tracer, troubleshooting basic connectivity. You grab coffee with your dorm-mates, discussing the surprisingly complex routing protocols. The sheer volume of new terms feels daunting but fascinating. You spend an hour reviewing notes before dinner.
