Intelligence MOS?

[xavier2484]

I was looking into trying to get a intel. MOS in the Marines. From those who have experience in this MOS what are some of the things you will be doing? and how demanding is the work? and what are some pro's and con's to the job?

I don't have a ton of knowledge for you but since no one has answered you yet, I'll try to give you what I can. There are a few different jobs you could be doing inside the intel MOS's. If you are with the air wing you'd be helping pilots plan their missions. If you are ground side you could end up doing a bunch of different things like counter intel or mission briefing. My buddy went through ground intel school and said the school was a bitch, but he also said it was awesome at the same time. Hope this helps.

If you're in the airwing you wont be helping pilots plan their mission, you'll simply tell them a threat and what may or may not be expected on a flight route they've already planned.

I don't know if your friend was enlisted or officer but there is no ground intel school for enlisted. It's simply just intel school. It's in Dam Neck Virginia and I thought it was a pain in the ass and harder than any college course i'd ever taken. But it was easy as shit compared to WTI.

You'll need at least a GT score of 110 (unless they've lowered it) and be eligible for a TS/SCI clearance.

Roger, like I said, I don't know a whole lot about the intel community. My buddy is an officer so he went through ground intel. (as far as I know) Thanks for straightening me out.
