Why we read it this way (8)
Location is not specified in the posting; COLSA Corporation is headquartered in Huntsville, AL, but no work site is stated — the CBSA has been left blank.
The degree requirement is listed as a Bachelor's in computer science or related field, but 'or equivalent experience' is explicitly offered as an alternative, so no hard degree gate applies.
Security+ CE (or another DoD 8570 IAT-II/III baseline certification) is listed as a hard requirement; Security+ is used as the representative skill with the broader certification family noted here.
CCNA or Juniper Associate certification is required, but the posting also accepts a 'certificate of completion' — the exact scope of that alternative is ambiguous.
The posting states 'Salary Type: Annually' but provides no compensation figures.
Static, Dynamic, and Layer 3 routing experience appears under Preferred Qualifications alongside layer 2 switching knowledge; both are marked preferred accordingly.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Cisco Identity Services Engine.
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.
