I signed up for this MOS in the ARMY? I know what the definition online is So I would like to know from some Personal Experience or maybe some one you actually know.

Answer 1

Well it is an intel position. you would be working as an interrorgator. I have worked in this job a bit. You will mostly be involved with extracting information from detainees and POWs. It isnt the glorious torture most people think it is. You have to be smart and be willing to really mind-screw people. On the whole its a pretty fun job and the promotion rate is great.
