[QUOTE="Diamondback 2/2, post: 69194, member: 157"] I have some questions in regards to the PSYOP and CA career fields. I have worked with both in the past but have very little understanding as to their roles and missions. My understanding is that CA is more of winning the hearts and minds through helping the civilian populations, and PSYOP is more delivering the intended message of the US to the population. Is this correct? I spoke with a CA officer (O4 MAJ) a few years ago and he seemed to dislike PSYOP and talked up CA. Recently I spoke with a PYSOP officer (O5 LTC) who was prior enlisted Infantry and he disliked CA and also said PSYOP was the closest thing to the Infantry he has found. He was also very encouraging to re-class PSYOP, he explained that they worked in 3 man teams and worked with conventional combat arms and SOF. So I am wondering if this is common the dislike for each other and why? I am wondering what the mission is for the two and how they differ? I also wonder of the two what would be better suited for me. I am a die hard Infantrymen and love it, but I have some injuries that will probably require a re-class to a different MOS. So I want to stay as close to the same job and want to stay away from being in the rear with the gear. I would like to be an important piece of the puzzle and not just a common task’ee. I am not looking to be kicking doors and rucking my ass off for a few years until I can heal, so I want to be in the mix but maybe not to the point where my injuries can put my self or teammates in jeopardy.
