Do they do any field work or is it more of a desk job. The MOS description said they work in the collection of intelligence so I was curious what that meant.

This is the Mos that i really want. My GT score is 101. 1. What are the qualifications for this Mos? 2. Will this Mos help me get a civilian job? 3. A specific civilian job like Logistics manager? This Mos is really similar to that job so, i'm guessing it will. I'm not sure. Questions 1 and 3 answered with true information will get the best answer.

So I am looking into joining the Military. I went to recruiters of every branch and have narrowed it down to two. The National Guard and Marine Corps. National Guard- I like how in the Guard, you get to stay in your home Area (except for when you are activated and all that) and that you get to keep your job and go to school (I want to go to trade school). I also like that you get to help in your community. If I joined the guard I would want to join as Infantry, MP, cav scout, tanker, Electrician, Combat engineer, Fire support specialist or some kind of Mechanic. Marines- If I joined the USMC, I would NOT go reserves (the nearest reserve station is hours away and only has positions for Admin personnel. Full time would be great because I get to get out of my state for a while (Although leaving my family would be kind of tough for 4-6 years would be tough as my family really needs me around here). If I joined the Marine Corps I would like to join Infantry, Armor, Artillery, Logistics/Supply, Helicopter/Aircraft Mechanics, Vehicle Maintenince, Motor T or Utilities. Im having a tough time deciding. I recently lost weight and I am in fairly good shape so I think I can handle the physical part.

Ok so i wanted to know what military branch would be great for me and i got some help (thanks) any way some guy posted this to me and caught my attention and wanted to know more about it any info will be great thanks look below---------------------->What is he talking about ???? it all depends on what your looking for an air plane mechanic to infantry is kind of a big gap. the only thing i can think of for you is a place in the 160th. its a part of so-com and they have air plane mechanics but are better trained then a reg soldier. because they are socom they can attend ranger school (one of the best in the world) airborne school,air assault..etc and get to go on all kinds of missions alongside sf,rangers and such. almost like having best of both worlds.
