I am wanting to join the military and am thinking about doing intelligence since it sounds really interesting.

Question

I narrowed it down between naval intelligence and air force intell.
Which do you think would be a better choice? Does the navy deal stricty with the navy and air force strictly with the air? And also which one do you is more technical and is known for their intelligence departments? I would appreciate any answers. Thanks.

Answer 1

I worked in Naval Intelligence and most of the time I worked with joint services. I was stationed on an Army base for the majority of my enlistment, the people I trained with, all went on to be Air Crew for the Navy. Any intelligence training you get in any branch is going to be technical and top notch. I'd say it really depends on what you want to do, as far as intelligence. I was a CTI, basically, a linguist and I loved my job. Whatever you choose, make sure its something that you really want to do, otherwise it will be a long enlistment.

I'm a 13 Delta in the USArmy (Field artillery/Fire Direction Center) but am currently in a military intel class and my father was mi for 23 active and currently a civilian contractor working at centcom. First step would be to take your asvap test your going to be wanting to score around 110. Pretty much all jobs in the army are open to you if you score a 110. There are numerous mi mos ones that deal with signal, human collections, maps & images, etc. I will tell you that the job is actually very political and the ranking is a some what slower rate than other mos'. All branchs intel deal with the same pretty much but I'd give a recommedation to either go with army or air force.

Well first of all congrats on wanting to join! You should be proud on being part of the best military in the world. Now it really doesnt matter which one you go for as they BOTH offer good intel fields. Understand thier are a lot of intel jobs within the career field. Since I am Air Force and have worked with Intel I would say go there. Only becuse I am familiar with it, and HUGE oppurtunities on teh outside once you get out if you choose to still work in the field as a contractor. Either way it should be a rewarding career field for you. Best of Luck!!

Answer 5

Officer or enlisted? Naval Intell does it all..land air and sea. Both Branches are very technical and very competitive to get into.

keep in mindthat Intell is not about sneaking around doing interrogations.. it's more like analysis.

Navy actually has three basic components: Intel, IWO and IP. Intell is analysis. IWO is SIGINT and IP is more protection..keeping the bad guys from hacking the good guys. However, IP on the O side is not open to initial accessions right now, although you can get CTN (enlisted)as a first termer now.

Answer 6

My nephew scored an 83 on his ASVAB test, and he is in encryption (more along the lines of intelligence). He is in the Marines, but if you want to go into intelligence, you would have to score high on the ASVAB test. The higher you score, the more job opportunities you will have. I think that goes for any branch of service. Good luck!

Answer 7

i hear INTEL has a lot of options, i dont know about the different branches. i do know, that if you stick with it, there are a lot of options later in life, and you can do so much! i know where to find some info on the Army INTEL, but im not familiar with Navy of AF. Both are good options to look into, depending on what specifically you are wanting. talking to your recruiters in depth is the best thing to do.

your background checks will be very VERY in depth!!! they will be talking to everyone including your second grade teacher teacher, lol.... look here...

Answer 8

I would suggest THAT WHAT EVER the recruiter says, You get it in writing or it does not mean a thing.
They are a bunch of liars, If You have it in writing, you may get what You want.
And good luck

Answer 9

You will have to pass a pretty vigorous intelligence test to be considered, you don't just apply, you are selected.

Answer 10

Military intelligence is an oxymoron!
