Military to Electronics engineering
(OP)
My name is Ryan, I'm 17, and I'm currently in the Marine Corps' DEP (delayed entry program). I have a contract for M.O.S 267x, cryptologic linguist. This is an intelligence-type job, and requires a top secret security clearence. Obviously, this job does not exactly translate hand-in-hand to a career in electronics engineering, which I plan on getting my B.A in, so my question is: would being a former Marine, bilangual, and in possession of a TS/SCI security clearance, as well as a B.A in electronics engineering hold any sway in an interview (especially with a defense industry contractor)? Thank you in advance.

Chances are, your life will go differently than you plan, in ways that no one can predict. Expect, and accept, whatever surprises come your way.
Good luck.

On the bright side, the intel and electronics side of the house is big buisness now and is projected to be in the near and longer term future. With many govt. contractors, you can come in with OJT that you described without a degree and you will still get the title of "engineer" and a nice salary.
A few govt. contractors to consider when you get out are: Boeing, Lockheed, BAE, Stanley, SAIC, AAI, Booze Allen Hamilton, General Dynamics, etc. etc. etc.
I could go on but you get the point. Good luck.

That sounds very different. We, and other similar military contractors ,likewise have lots of embedded firmware, none of which is even remotely TS. Even the stuff that flies for TS applications only require S clearances for the engineers. In fact, we can some current TS applications, and the hardware and its design isn't even classified.

Supposedly, a warm body with an existing clearance can walk into a job on the local base.

When I was in I took classes with Uni of Maryland on base. CTC was also on base. Register with them before you get in (let the recuiter do all the work) save yourself the headache.
More than likely, you would be working with some government contractors. Stick with them. Learn from them (that would probably be you job when you get out). You would also learn which field you would like to pursue. Once you are getting close to ETS. If you like your duty station seek a position with them.
I could say more but I hope this enough. get
