A new page on the wiki for abbreviations - seems to me to be a perfect place for this material and any new additions.

The Intelligence Branch and its personnel have a number of abbreviations associated with it/them:
The Intelligence Branch is the "Int Branch";
An Intelligence Officer is an "Int O";
An Intelligence Operator (i.e. a NCM) is an "Int Op";
The term Intelligence is "Int".
Note: Intelligence has historically had the abbreviation of "Int" in the United Kingdom and, by extention, the British Commonwealth countries. There has been a tendancy among Canadians over the last few years to use the US abbreviation "Intel". This is incorrect and generally drives Int Branch personnel crazy. It is a poor habit, that can generally been traced to Air Force personnel who work in/with/for NORAD. The shoulder flash worn by Canadian Army Intelligence personnel reads "Int". This is the proper term.
