Good afternoon,
I just had a quick question I was hoping you ladies and gentlemen could help me out with. I am currently filling out my application for the role of intelligence operator, or intelligence officer, and I am not sure which element I should select. As a trade that exists in multiple elements, I was curious what the main differences between two intelligence operators in different branches would be, how it would affect their daily routine, deployments/postings, intel they deal with, and opportunities for advancement. For example, the hiring page lists several specialties that int ops can specialize in, would these be available to both the army and air force? I will note that I am not really considering the navy, because I have never really been a sea person. Despite being the same role, I suspect the choice of element will actually have a very significant affect on my career, so I was hoping to make the most informed decision possible.
Apologies if this has been asked before, I didn't find any specific info through a search or in the int megathread.
Kind regards,
Sterling
