*Disclaimer: They're prioritizing military/veterans but also law enforcement/first responders, and females/minorities. It doesn't hurt to apply, but those are the main groups they're targetting.*

The program itself is being run by a collaboration of several colleges/universities. The site I signed up on is through Purdue University Northwest, but it looks like my initial courses will be through Ivy Tech. 

There are 3 tracks. Each includes 6 courses but 3 are standard across all the programs.

Cybersecurity System Administration

As far as I know, you only need to prove citizenship and affiliation with the military or a first responder organization. I uploaded my birth certificate, SF50 showing law enforcement employment with the federal government, and my membership letter for the Coast Guard Auxiliary. There's an English, STEM (math), and IT test.

They don't seem to care about transcripts because they make everyone take the placement tests.

I’m in the Auxiliary too. Wanted to keep serving after I got out.
