    In addition, they produce finished intelligence products - intelligence digests, summaries, updates, country studies, etc. - while working with their peers in the Intelligence Community (IC) as well as evaluate the raw Intelligence Information Reports (IIRs) from the field. If they require additional information for an intel product that they are working on, they can request tasking from SIGINT, HUMINT, or other INTs for support. They don't always hang out in the Joint Intelligence Center (JIC). If a '31 is a regional specialist, they have the opportunity to travel in country to expand their knowledge of the area, culture, and customs by interacting with the Defense Attaché Offices (DAOs) of the nations they visit. They also attend seminars and working groups to further their understanding of whatever threat they are focusing on.

    26XX Field

    Was just reading through this post and I noticed the 26XX Field isnt really brought up to much. When you get your Intel contract you are not designated 26XX or 0231 untill you get to bootcamp. There the screener talks to you and figures out where to put you. The 26XX fields are are smaller, more selective, and more technical field the 0231's. Just something for people to think about.

    how do they decide?

    Based, quite likely, on certain scores in your ASVAB, things like that.

    Sgt Leprechaun is quite correct in that they base it off your ASVAB. Your electronics and mathmatics are the most important. However there are quite a bit of other factors that come into play. Manning is a huge once since there are fewer slots to be a 26XX. Personal preference also comes into play. If you are a 0231 you are pretty much guarenteed to be stuck at a desk. However as a 26XX is is about 25% chance to be stuck at a desk. The majority of our job field is field work. So it kind of depends if the candidate wants to be safe and comfy at a desk or forward deployed and dirty.

    I got a 61 on the asvab and my gt score was103 do you think it would be possible for me to be 26XX material


  7. #52
    Ill be very honest..That is a bit lower than the majority of 26XX operators. However with that being said it is not a no. If you have the DD acceptence going into BootCamp then you have a chance. If you go into the screener and say you want to be a 2621/2631/2651 then there is a chance you can get assigned it. Most people go into boot not knowing what they want to do. Plus school in Florida is better than Virginia anyways.

    and the 26XX are more so in the field right?


  9. #54
    Yeah they are more in the field just because of the nature of our job. Very few of us have the title analyst and even then it is focused on a very specific topic. Most times you will be either an operator or a collector so yes if you choose the 26XX route expect to be in the field more.


  10. #55
    and what exactly is the difference between 26XX and the 0231's. Job-wise if yu done mind me asking


  11. #56
    0231s are intelligence analysts who take all intell and come to conclusions and stuff like that. 26XX it depends which you are. The majority of what we can do cannot be passed over unclassified systems however if you go to usmilitary.about.com and type in the 2621, 2631, and 2651 MOS it should give you a bit more of an explination.

    0241

    Puttin in a package for 0241 Latmove now. Any good info on the process?


  14. #59
    I scored a 96 on my ASVAB with a gt score of 135.. With those numbers I was told am eligible for most if not all jobs within the Marines. And my recruiter said that is I get 100 or better on the DLAB there is an opening for linguistics intel. Is this a good route to go if I want to be able to travel and work in the field? Or would this likely sit me behind a desk for most of my career?

    Hello. This is my first post so please bear with me. My son is at MCRD currently and has a contract for intel. He called several times yesterday to get information to finish doing the paperwork on his background investigation and informed me that he got 2651 as his MOS and he was pretty upset. He was expecting an 02xx mos instead. I have been researching his MOS since yesterday and think that this is about as good as I can find. I did look at the syllabus and it seems that there is alot, if not all about computers. I was glad to read that this MOS is not all about sitting behind a desk as I am sure that it'll be some consolation to him. If there anything more you can add about 2651, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
