From the last post on here I had mentioned my interest in CID and found out that chances are more likely slim to none for me to get it.
I've been checking up on MOS' that I personally believe would be something I could learn and do well at.
My bestfriends husband is currently a 2651, and knowing I'm not guaranteed any MOS since I will be going active duty I'd like to ask your opinions again.
My family was actually very excited about my curiosity for becoming a Cryptologist-Linguist or any Intel field for that matter. I haven't sworn in, nor taken ASVAB or any tests. I know I will have no problem with top-secret security clearance not tooting my own horn just haven't done anything that would prevent it. For myself this is solely for when I speak to my recruiter and being prepared in advance.
My question to you all, is during my years that I serve I would also love to do college and work on my degree. I still plan on going Officer, God willing. Which academic program would you personally recommend if I am going Intel or Cryptologist-Linguist. I have both chosen just in case I do not do so well on the DLPT. (I hope I said that right)
I was reading older forums trying to figure this out and found a couple that had semi targeted this question.
Homeland Security, Intelligence Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Political Science are so far my choices at the online university I am looking at.
I personally wasn't sure if it was one of those situations that as long as I have my Bachelor's Degree in a semi related field I'd be fine.. But I always like being prepared and asking in advance so my apologies if this question is redundant. Just didn't want to spend 4 years getting my degree and then go as Officer to find out.. oh by the way your degree isn't exactly targeted towards what you would like to do.
I'm not even sure if that happens.. thanks again!
