14N Intelligence Officer. (Ops can't happen without them!)

Intel officers represent one of the largest and most diverse officer career fields in the Force. This is true both in terms of sheer numbers, backgrounds, and capabilities. Ops can't happen without them so they are everywhere, all the time.

Thank you for this. This has been so valuable to me.

[@MarkisCouch_1WhatJustHappened]

WOW! Great video!

[@bigglopez770]

I enjoy the mix of working with spec ops but also doing the intel work behind a desk that is most of the Air Force. Is there a specific AFSC that does a bit of both? Maybe apart from officer is there a enlistment route? Like what about 1N0? Also, how can I make myself more available to be picked by a spec ops group? Thanks!

[@BEISBOLDECUBA]

Maybe Collin might do the space force officer podcast. just in case if someone is interested with that branch.

19 May 2022, With the merging of the 24th AF and the 25th AF into the 16th AF, is the 16th AF at Lackland, Afb in San Antonio, TX now considered to be U.S. Air Force Intelligence?

[@HercNav]

😂 Be sure to get and keep your subscription current to U.S. News and World Report. Intel does have the best military magazine collection on base!

[@Whirlwindd1]

are the policies the same in the Canadian army?

[@ThomasASmith-ox1bn]

I am a senior in AFROTC and was assigned the 14N career field. Any resources I should start looking at as I prepare to commission and head to Intel Officer School?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

keep watching our videos and others you find here on KZbin. send us your specific questions to [e-mail].

[@EnabIing]

I am currently in AFROTC and currently majoring in Business Administration, I am interested in this job aswell as the benefits of it when I transition back to the civilian world

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

intel is a great career field while serving and will set you up for success as a civilian.

For Those AWARDED a red folder when going through processing, do they exit or get detained? Timothy Ryan Olds received one at MEPS of Troy Michigan, but was released. This was back in 2015. Perhaps it was due to a covert mission to learn why we forgot that freemasons were given the opportunity to hide nukes on farmland often masked by what would appear from arial swimming pools. North Korean insurgents in search of such in USA, SAMSUNG HQ TWIN TOWERS IN NORTH KOREA.

[@HeyHeyHey8I]

I just spoke to a recruiter about becoming an officer in the reserves. What is the likelihood I would be able to enter as an intelligence officer and what would that entail?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

intel is a very large career field, so assuming you're qualified there is a good chance. you can learn more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJakhJqQhdGqobM

[@wigaris1]

I have a daughter that is interested in being part of the Intelligence community in the Air Force. Can you share some links, emails, and groups to research?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

is there something specific you're looking for?

[@detectivex.4061]

Do intel officers ever work with humint 1n7x1 guys? Or like be on the field with them leading while also performing similar tasks?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

no, that’s not their responsibility. officers take care of the people who take care of the mission.

[@chrisdizer6373]

Getting ready to start AFROTC in the fall, wanting intelligence officer or public affairs officer. What are the chances for either of those?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

the chances depend on many things. the things you can control are major (take a look at the the AFOCD: www.milvet.state.pa.us/DMVA/Docs_PNG/hro/AFOCD.pdf), grades, AFOQT, physical fitness, and attitude. focus on those things and it will all work out as its supposed to.

[@justinfreeman4614]

Ask your ROTC instructors what the current preferred degrees are. It used to be Political Science / International Affairs.

[@jamalbenhamou]

I was offered this job...my question is, do you get to leave base during tech school? Will this prevent me from visiting the country I was born in? Can I cross train to a different field if I don't like it? Also someone told me that you speak multiple language you will be in combat field for translation/interpretation....is this true?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

1) Yes. 2) Possibly, but unlikely. 3) Possible, but you'll have to be released by the 14N career field, which may not happen. You can always turn the job down if you don't want it. 4) No-that is for enlisted linguists, not intel officers.

[@BEISBOLDECUBA]

What is the difference between intelligence officer and jag officer because I have a feeling their similar yet different.

[@jayvaughn2842]

JAG is a lawyer. Period. JAGs can help with ops in terms of approving military missions and targets ensuring there is no violation of the Law of Armed Conflict. But that JAG role is mostly in support of combat ops. Intel officers are providing intelligence analysis to combat operators. They can assist in mission planning, do targeting, analyze imagery, request collection of information, etc...Those two jobs are not the same, except they both require a lot of reading and research. : )

[@sallysue8176]

Very different

[@kelvinlol6292]

How often do allergies get waived (specifically fish allergy) I know it’s unlikely but i just wanted to know if it was possible

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

very unlikely, but that's all decided by DODMERB.

[@dgd947a15fl]

Depends on what kind of job you're going for. They're more likely to approve a waiver application if you're going for a job that's in high demand.

[@morganwillis7666]

What specialty within intel would include the jumping out of planes and supporting spec ops?

[@jayvaughn2842]

You'd need to be assigned to a special ops unit to support special ops. If you wanna take off more often than you land in an aircraft join the army or get in really awesome shape and be AF special ops. Intel isn't the way to go if you wanna be an operator.

[@BenClason]

WOuld there be a need for older recruits even if they are still in shape and have no health problems?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

certainly. for most career fields you can commission until your 40th birthday.

[@jacobmeenach1656]

I am currently studying IT with a concentration in cybersecurity. Is this degree sufficient to fulfill the bachelors requirement to be an intel officer? (good video by the way!)

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

take a look at this: www.milvet.state.pa.us/DMVA/Docs_PNG/hro/AFOCD.pdf

[@jacobmeenach1656]

@@airforceofficerpodcast thank you!

[@nigelwest5776]

Do you have a good chance if you enlist as intelligence first?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

enlisting first will provide experience and context, but will not necessarily improve your chances of getting selected for OTS. if you want to be an officer, the better route is AFROTC or USAFA.

[@RichardWarren-he3nt]

I have a political science degree and Im from Papua New Guinea. I've always wanted to join the AF since high school. I guess the intelligence officer field would be a suitable area for me given that my background would be critical to US National interest (in the Pacific). Can I enlist in the Airforce and later apply for citizenship using my green card to attend OTS?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

you have to be a citizen prior to applying for OTS. however you make that happen, that’s the number one requirement.

[@becraftcorey]

Can you retrain as an officer, after you have been in a career field for a while ?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

yes, in most circumstances. it's always easier to retrain into ops and medical than into combat support or acquisitions. also always easier to retrain in the Guard or Reserve.

[@mildew4u]

I’m a 1N0

[@mmhowdy]

Are Intelligence Officer positions rated or non-rated?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

non-rated.

[@mmhowdy]

@@airforceofficerpodcast Thank you sir! I ask because I am color deficient, and I'm looking to try and commission through OTS after I finish my M.S. in Geoscience this December.

[@jayvaughn2842]

You should go 14N with that degree background and get into GEOINT, do NGA type work and/or targeting. Maps and charts, imagery, navigation, precision targeting...all things you can do as a 14N with your background. You'll do very well with that capability.

[@BEISBOLDECUBA]

Can space force intelligence officers go overseas same as air force intelligence officers.

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

yes, but the opportunities are fewer just because the Space Force is so small and there aren't that many space missions overseas.

[@jayvaughn2842]

You wanna go overseas join the AF. I did 33 years in the USAF almost all as AF intel, 12 years of that was overseas with over 19 assignments total. Loved, loved, loved it.

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

Pro solitaire.

[@gerhardrausing777]

Sounds good, maybe I should change my last name? Teixeira??

[@OmacOmac1]

Can a Bachelor Degree in Security Studies be good for intelligence?

[@airforceofficerpodcast]

what do you mean by good? does it meet the requirement for being selected as a 14N? yes. will it help you in your primary duties? maybe.
