Best military intelligence jobs for someone interested in analysis?

I've been thinking about joining the military after high school and I'm really interested in intelligence work. What are some of the best jobs in military intelligence that involve a lot of analysis and critical thinking?

a year ago

There are several military intelligence jobs that emphasize analysis and critical thinking. Here are a few you might consider:

1. Intelligence Analyst (35F for the US Army): This job involves analyzing foreign communications and activities to predict and mitigate potential threats. Through collecting information from a range of sources, you'll develop and present intelligence reports.

2. Cryptologic Analyst (35P for the US Army, or CTI for the US Navy): As a cryptologic analyst, you'll detect and identify foreign communications and decipher codes. This job requires strong mathematical and linguistic skills.

3. Signals Intelligence Analyst (35N for the US Army, or CTN for the US Navy): This role involves gathering, sorting, and scanning intercepted messages to isolate valid intelligence. You'll be dealing with electronic signals, potentially from weapons systems, that could impact your unit's operations.

4. Geospatial Intelligence Analyst (35G for the US Army, AG for the US Air Force): In this role, you'll use geospatial tools to analyze data and identify patterns, trends, and targets. This job is for people who are interested in geography and cartography.

These roles are intellectually stimulating and require critical thinking capabilities. Each of these roles offer unique challenges and opportunities for those interested in an analytical career within the military. You'll want to research each job, and consider your interest, aptitude, and your ASVAB scores to see which role is a good match for you. As always, you'd want to discuss your options with a military recruiter who could provide more insight into these roles, training requirements, and potential career development once you're in the armed forces.
