Intel AND Spec Ops

I know this thread hasnt had activity in a while but a lot of the people who responded are still around and I'm back to square one...well, negative square one if that's possible.

Teufel and BravoOne: Thank you very much for your input, I definitely appreciate it.

Due to tattoo regs my options are now limited to only Marine Corps routes.
I'm still looking into a few options. The main reason this is a big decision is I will pretty much be finishing all of the years I have in the field I LAT move to (in 8+ and shooting for 20+).

I still have some research to do and hard decisions to make.

Thanks again gents.

Can you explain how the tattoo regs have limited your options? If you have them documented, arent you good to go?
 
Army CI and tattoos are a NoGo. Its been like that with Army MI for a long time.

Jrod something to consider since you are a civilian is looking for Force Protection opportunities with government agencies (NCIS, OSI,). The OSI recently had an announcement on USAJOBS. They get some good training and do high speed HUMINT/CI. The OSI CounterTerrorism teams deploy a lot and work with SOF. I am not sure what the NCIS or OSI policy on bodyart is though.

Thanks, I misread his post. I thought he said his Marine Corps options were limited. Good to know.
 
DevilBones and Bravo One, thank you for the response.

Unfortunately my tattoos are not documented, one upside and downside of the reserves. My options are not AS limited in the Marines if I can find someone to work with me even with the tattoos.

I mainly meant options with other branches. Ran into issues with Air Force TACP, and Army (EOD and SF).

I've been reading about potential changes with tattoos in both the Marine Corps and Army, so keeping my fingers crossed but not holding my breath.
