Hi all!
First off please do forgive me for any simple errors, I am open to correction, even for the details.
Just signed up this week and have been finding TONS of information everywhere, however, I still find information scattered on the requirements, pipeline, etc; for Intel Support in SOT-A. Let me begin by giving a background and where I want to see myself to give a better idea.
Currently a civilian electrical engineer (communications/computer programming) with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and pursuing a M.S. in Electrical Engineering. Fluent in Spanish (spoken as a native speaker when I was a child - thanks mom & dad) and currently learning Brazilian Portuguese. Not necessarily too relevant, but I keep in great shape since I initially wanted to go SF, however, I know I would fit best in the SOF community, so I can still get my geek on ;)
I have been following A LOT of threads on the Intelligence & Support Operations (SOT-A specifically) community and have come to an understanding they are mainly made up of (35P) BUT have some (35N). I would LOVE to get out in the field (emphasis on love), along with being ok doing the technical work behind a desk (I mean its what I do now lol). Also, and probably most noted, I plan on going into the Reserves, considering in CA there is no SOF Support jobs in the NG (weird), so I want to know if there is STILL an option to get those opportunities, or is that only open for the AD? (Not sure if Reservists have limited opportunities due to being "part-time").
Sorry for the winded first post, if anyone is up for it, I would greatly appreciate it!
