Why we read it this way (6)
The role is located at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, which falls within the St. Louis, MO-IL CBSA (41180).
DoDM 8140.03 / DCWF Work Role 411 (Systems Administrator, Intermediate) is a hard gate — candidates must hold the foundational qualification before start and obtain the residential (privileged-access) qualification. Security+ or CySA+ plus a computing-environment cert (Microsoft, Linux, or VMware) are listed as the common qualifying certifications and are treated as required gates.
SIPRNet familiarity is listed with the word 'familiarity' and appears alongside DoD enclave experience, so it is treated as preferred rather than a hard gate.
NetApp ONTAP and VMware vSphere/vCenter are explicitly called out in the key tasks section as required technologies, not merely stack context.
No minimum degree is stated; equivalent experience is implicitly accepted given the certification-centric DoD qualification framework.
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.
