First this is my first post and have tried to find as much info on this topic as I can but everything is either outdated or irrelevant.

So I am coming up on being able to re-enlist and am looking to LAT move into Intel, but had 2 simple questions. What exactly is/does a 0241 do? And what exactly does a 0211 do? I like to go to the field and have heard that these two MOSs do get a lot of deployments/field work. Thank you all for all the replies in advance.

Just to eliminate questions I know are coming, ASVAB is 96 with no score lower than 115, Secret clearance (Don't see why TS couldn't be achieved), not looking for a James Bond 2.0 MOS just a challenging and interesting MOS and I like going to field.

No, I have read all of MOSmanual, About.com, and all other basic searches but as we all know this doesn't accurately depict what the MOS really does. I was hoping for a more in-depth as to what each actually does, not the BS MOS description lol.

CI/HUMINT specialist are created by lateral move from any MOS. They are involved in all facets of planning and conducting CI and human intelligence operations and activities. CI activities are concerned with identifying and counteracting the threat of friendly forces posed by hostile intelligence organizations, or by persons engaged in espionage, sabotage, subversion or terrorism. HUMINT activities are designed to obtain intelligence information using human beings as both sources and collectors, where the human being is the primary collection instrument. CI/HUMINT specialist are expected to possess a working knowledge of the organization, operations, and techniques employed by foreign intelligence services and terrorist organizations. They conduct human intelligence operations to collect information of intelligence value for the commander. They collect information/intelligence by means of interrogation, debriefing, and screening. A specific percentage of 0211s will undergo language training. Qualified CI/HUMINT specialist use foreign language skills or interpreters to conduct CI/HUMINT activities and exploit foreign language documents and recordings. In addition to knowing a foreign country's language, they are familiar with the area, the customs and traditions of its people, and the infrastructure of a foreign force. In support of these functions, CI/HUMINT specialists utilize automated databases, interview/interrogation techniques, liaison, specialized CI techniques, technical support measures, intelligence/investigative photography, reporting-writing techniques and other capabilities as required to accomplish the mission. This MOS will be assigned and voided only by the authority of the CMC (MM). This is applicable to the Reserves.

It kinda helps but again that is just the generic usmc speak that says you'll do everything awesome and nothing that you dont wanna. I was really hoping for an 02xx to shed some light on their personal experiences, or point me in the direction of someone who could.

Thank you for trying to help me though

Since you're at Quantico (according to your profile), you should have no problem hooking up with Marines currently in these MOS's for a face-to-face meeting where you can get all your questions answered straight from the horses mouth. Talk to your Career Planner and S-2 Chief to see if something can be worked out. Shouldn't be a problem - couple phone calls should be all it takes. As a former Battalion Career Planner, this is an easy fix (getting the LatMove approved is a different story). Good luck.

Thank you for your input MSgt, both of our career planners are on leave currently and when not on leave, are in charge of 4,000+ marines so setting up an appointment for someone who isn't eligible to...
