Info on 0231 MOS and what to expect?

[TonyT]

Hello Marines, I'm on the verge of enlisting and I'm trying to figure out what MOS is best for me. Right now I've been stuck on the 0231 MOS, sounds interesting from what my recruiter told me but then again I have no clue what to expect from it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for info sounds like a really interesting MOS, all my recruiter told me was that I would be in the field dealing with top secret info don't know how true that is though. Google only told me I'd be dealing with the analysis and dissemination of intel and just wanted to know more about the MOS
