Why we read it this way (8)
The posting requires an active DoD Secret clearance as a hard gate, but also states candidates must be 'able to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI clearance' — the current hard gate is Secret; TS/SCI is an aspiration/future requirement.
The minimum education requirement is a High School Diploma or GED, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The title 'Journeyman' is a trade/skill-level descriptor rather than a standard seniority band; the role maps to Mid based on the scope and implied experience level.
The preferred qualifications section lists '5 or more years of enterprise network administration experience' — this is preferred, not required, so it is not reflected in the overall years minimum.
DoD IAT Level II certification is required; Security+ and CCNA are the most commonly cited examples listed in the posting and are captured as required with alternatives.
ACAS is listed in the required section in passing ('ACAS findings') but is elaborated as a preferred tool in the Preferred Qualifications block; it is marked preferred to reflect where the explicit qualification sits.
ForeScout certifications are listed under Preferred Qualifications as a nice-to-have credential, distinct from ForeScout product experience which is required.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
