Intelligence in AF or Army

[studentcj]

I had questions about military intelligence? Can enlisted people recieve that job and if so, what is the necessary score of the ASVAB test. One last thing is it an entry job or do you have to do something first, then try to get the job.

In the Army, Military Intelligence is a Branch. Just like Infantry, Armor, Quarter Master, Signal, etc. The branches generally operate in the same manner when dealing with enlisted and officer positions. Enlisted personnel make up the majority of the work force within that branch while officers hold different positions from platoon leaders to staff officers to company commanders to battalion commanders, etc. No different than the Infantry.

Now, MI has several enlisted MOS's, which cover a variety of expertise.

These MOS's are divided into Career Management Fields or CMF's

There are 4 CMF's for MI. They are 33, 96, 97 and 98.

CMF 33 handles electronic warfare (maintenance position for intelligence systems) Only one MOS in this CMF which is 33W, there used to be a few but they have been merged).

CMF 96 is entitled "Intelligence." It has 6 MOS's included. They are:

96B - Intelligence Analyst
96D - Imagery Analyst
96H - Common Ground Station Operator
96R - Ground Surveillance Systems Operator
96U - Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operator
96Z - Intelligence Senior Sergeant (this is an E8 position of any of the above MOS's. Once you acheive this rank you are expected to be able to supervise any soldier within your' CMF.)

CMF 97 is entitled Counter/Human Intelligence. There are four MOS's:

97B - Counterintelligence Agent
97E - Human Intelligence Collector
97L - Translator/Interpretor (Only available to Reserve/NG)
97Z - Senior Sergeant (same as above)

CMF 98 is entitled Signals Intelligence and has six MOS's:

98C - Signals Intelligence Analyst
98G - Cryptologic Linguist
98H - Communications Locator/Interceptor
98J - Electronic Intelligence Analyst/Interceptor
98K - Signals Collection/Identification Analyst
98Z - Senior Sergeant

Generally they all require a 105 on your ST score on the ASVAB, however the 33W requires a 115 and some require a 95.

Your question about whether or not entry level is best answered like this:

The way the military enlisted system works is with a rank/grade equivalent to job level system. For example using MOS 97B, an entry level soldier is considered an E1 - E4 their job skill level is a 10 so their MOS is 97B10 (other identifiers may go into this such as airborne qualification, ranger school, etc.) An E5 becomes a 97B20 (skill level 20), an E6 a 97B30 an E7 a 97B40 and an E8 becomes a 97Z. Used to be you could not join the Army an enlist for 97B, but had to apply and go through a lengthy process after making promotable E4, however, that is no longer the case and you can enlist for it right off the bat. I personally don't agree with it, but that is another post.
