Re: I get to be first!
I can help you out on the enlisted side. Keep in mind I'm a little biased when it comes to my MOS. Ok, here goes. The 96 CMF are all analysits. The do not do any of the collection, they receive products and put their spin on them. If you are a methodical person that does not crave lots of job excitement, not a bad field. The 97 CMF (HUMINT) are collectors. The Counter Intell is good, but the young guys don't get to go play James Bond, and to be honest, without a language they are pretty much useless. The Interrigator side of the house is much more exciting, but for some strange reason MI does not always assign them by language, that is why we had Korean linguists trying to work in Iraq. The 98 CMF is SIGINT. Of all the MOS's in that field, only 98G are collectors. The rest of the guys analyze the information we pass them. 98G is very interesting, and the assignments range from National level to Special Operations. Language school at Monterey is a great experience. I have been there twice, basic and intermediate Arabic. I was also an AIT instructor, so I have grown to love the job. It is a mentally demanding job, and can be even more physically demanding. Hope that helps, if you have any questions about specific MOSs, give a shout, I'm well versed in MI speak.
