Learning a language that quickly is not easy, and I’m pretty sure all of the CAT IV school houses have an above 60% attrition rate. If you already speak multiple languages and/or have a natural gift for linguists than it’s a good deal, but as a straight up English speaker with no foreign language experience DLI is not going to be fun. The real question you want to be asking yourself is whether or not your confident in your ability to pass the language training, because if you fail DLI your life is going to go up shit creek. This is one of the (many) reasons I left HUMINT behind, because I knew that if I wanted the assignments I was interested in, I was going to have to attend a certain HT-JCOE school, and I had just heard too many horror stories at that point to go through with it.
35M MOS REDDIT UPGRADE
In order to promote and get assignments you need to attend certain schools and upgrade training, all managed by HT-JCOE, which is without a doubt the most corrupt and dysfunctional Center of Excellence in the US Armed Forces. The worst aspect of it though is the way the Army manages the HUMINT community. I knew very few mike NCO’s who had good working relationships with the maneuver units we supported because of this.
Mikes also easily fall into the trap of believing the world revolves around them and their mission and often forget they’re support personal. You will never escape working with people who are convinced they’re better than you in every way and are in a constant state of trying to prove it while pretending to be your friend. Mikes fall into two categories: bad and egotistical, or good and egotistical. When training or deployed, 35M will be a lot more entertaining and engaging than 35F (a job I’ve also done on an adhoc basis.) 35M is a great job, you certainly learn a lot more skills and have a lot of cool missions available. I enjoyed using my native spanish skills to help the army and bridge that gap, disseminating information and translating.Īs a cav scout you will have a wtf moment when you see intel running ranges or doing infantry stuff. And I did enjoy that, just not the stateside drills. I did sort of perform the job of a 35M during a tdy, screening and surveying local population in south America. Get ready to spend the weekend with all these "nerds" who think that because they're intel they're the smartest people ever. I didn't like it personally.ģ5F I probably would have enjoyed it better. I was reclassing to 35M and while waiting for school I did about 10 drills with intel. You pretty much take all of the intel and put it on a presentation format to brief everyone else. As an introvert you may hate it, I did, but as an extrovert you may love it.ģ5F all source analyst. A lot of powerpoints, presentations, talking and talking. You'll do that during drill, someone will be the bad guy and you'll screen them, then switch. 35M involves screening and interrogation techniques.
