Intelligence Analyst for the Army National Guard-?

So he thinks this MOS wouldn't work in the real world?

Obviously he has never heard of the National Security Administration (NSA), or the CIA, or the FBI? Think any of these Bureaus would want to hire a Military trained Intelligence Analyst? Think there might be some high profile security firm that could use someone like that?

As far as menial work, that's a rank thing, not an MOS thing. Once he is in, yes, the first few years he might be on some crappy details from time to time, but he should make rank fairly quickly. Soon he would be in charge of the crappy details, and all along be doing what he is trained and gaining experience that can get him a job in the real world.

I hope I have enlightened your Hubby! Tell your son it's a good choice!

My hubby seems to think that this MOS for my son is still a "clerk" job and that he will get pulled off it to do menial work a lot. Also, that he won't learn much that will translate into civilian jobs. Is this true?

I don't think so. I had friends in Kosovo and Iraq who did this job and they got to do a lot of exciting stuff, although, people who didn't really have any skills just stayed in the office. It depends on how smart and adaptable the person is.

Just look at it this way, with a Top Secret Clearance, and Intelligence training, and possible language training, it would be easy to get a job in any Government agency, or any sort of police force, as well as a high paying contracting job.

Being that kind of a job requires a clearance and the ability to keep your mouth shut about what you do, I'm going to step out on a limb here and say you're not going to get much of an answer. My best advice to you is to look at the job description and try to get a feel for it from there. All jobs suck sometimes and rock others. If you really want to talk to someone who does this already, ask your recruiter if you could meet one and talk to them in person.

My brother is a 96b or whatever intel analyst is in the Army. He said its boring... all he does is match pictures of arabs to names. That's what you get for being lazy and stupid. "military intelligence" lmao! my brother scored a 68 on his ASVAB, I scored a 99. Intel is not for smart people, its for lazy people. How lazy are you?

intel analyst can transfer to FBI/CIA/etc (he'll still need a college degree to get in either of those though)

anyway its a job that sits around in the TOC all day.
