Hello everyone,
I'm currently in AIT to become an army 35F (all source Intel analyst) I'm liking the job so far... However, the more I read about intelligence and as I learn more about the modern battle space, I'm having doubts about my MOS.
I'm realizing that I want a more hands on "dirty" role as an intelligence soldier. I want to participate in reconnaissance/collection missions and get out from behind a desk. I want to help collect information, and as a "soldier first" I want to be forward with combat arms (specifically, recon elements like cavalry)
From what I've been able to research on my own, I figure my best bet would be to land myself in a Company/Troop Intelligence support team. (Or maybe attend the army reconnaissance course) but I hear the as a 35F I'll be lucky if I end up in a building that has windows. Frankly, this has me doubting my career choice, but I'm torn because I enjoy IPB and analysis.
I'm looking for advice for achieving this goal, or any insight as a 35Fs ability to go out with combat arms soldiers. Anything at all would be appreciated.
Thank you.
