Human Intelligence is also about understanding the details of an areas culture as well as its history. The taboos of its' a religions, heritage and traditions.

[@colonelcracken3805]

Great point

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

Ooh, I am an amateur anthropologist! I was thinking of reclassing to 35L but maybe 35M-which also has a 15K signing bonus-instead.

[@StevenPGonzalez626]

That's awesome af

[@InvaderKush]

Prior 35M here, yeah when you get out people want you baaaad. I still get random calls 10 years after I got out for jobs overseas or with government entities. Coolest contract was Germany though lol. I have friends who spend a year at a time overseas with companies, make bank, and come home, all with a beard lol. I’d say do 4 years, if you enjoy it go warrant and 35L. If not, get out and contract, don’t mess with the 3 letter agencies, unless that’s your end goal.

[@314rappin]

Any idea what 35m looks like in the regiment. Currently looking at that once I'm done with training

[@InvaderKush]

@@314rappin Umm not sure, I was always with Division HQ, or another HUMINT group. However, we can be placed anywhere though, CAV, SF, etc. Shit they would even roll up to my buddys base and pick him up randomly to do field interrogations lol. I'd say don't worry about it until you get your actual orders to your first duty station. I got mine in the field, two weeks before graduation.

[@bigglopez770]

Hey I am also interested in being a human intelligence collector, specifically I am looking at the 2 year program and then 2 yesrs of reserves to get my masters in international relations. What do you think about only doing a 2 year active duty contract? Do you see this as a viable option?

[@InvaderKush]

@@bigglopez770 Umm the schooling for HUMINT is pretty intense, i got there in may, and didnt leave until Nov. If you can get into a class right away when you get to AIT then it would be like a 4 month thing got training. If youre willing to miss a semester or two for basic, and AIT, or do online during AIT, then i'd say go for it.

[@bigglopez770]

@@InvaderKush yea i saw it was that long. My idea was to finish my degree first

[@monicaa4439]

Thank you for the 35M detail! I’ve been told to take a look at this MOS since I’m in the enlistment process for the reserves and this Is definitely up my alley. Also, your videos are super informative. Keep it up!

[@noursniper89]

Hi. So what MOS you ended up choosing, and how do you like it?

[@meekinlopez3922]

There's almost no videos for 35L. Can you do one for that mos?

[@IllusionIsReality]

Thank you for reading the comments Chris... you are truly awsome. Also, your video gives another great perspective on this MOS.

[@TyberCusaa]

I have always been a fan of the history, music, food, culture and traditions of foreign countries. That specialty is one of my goals in life

[@oldreliable40]

that was a supply m.o.s. ! so the mess section and supply was a partnership that was perfect! we had what the other troops needed !!

[@notleviathan855]

I scored 108 on my ST, hoping to god that thing is available when I meet with my recruiter later this week to get into meps. I've got other MOS on the backline if it's not, but I'd LOVE to get this job.

[@himehime1629]

need a 101 st but that DLAB is what kills your chance

[@Hairypickleballs]

I got 35W with a 110 ST score

[@colonelcracken3805]

Chaos did another great video. Not being an intel guy, he missed the whole source operations piece, but that's ok. Having been in charge of many HUMINT soldiers keep in mind, that it is a hazardous MOS, in counterinsurgency and CT HUMINT soldiers are a High Value Target for the insurgents to kill. Loss several during my time in Iraq. BLUF, you eliminated the HUMINT collector, you limit the intelligence getting to the other side.

[@MrPrado-nc6qq]

Is it just for the Army or all branches ???

[@theodurnayne3874]

Do HUMINT collectors see combat? For example, are they attached to maneuver elements that they are supporting for missions?

[@itsmemayor]

Yes we do get attached but it depends on the scenario and honestly how much that unit trusts our combat skills / training. I received a lot of combat training and it came in handy when talking to combat units. Basically if you can hang and you don’t take too long questioning or running your op then you’re good. Added note that he did miss out on source ops but that’s because it’s classified. Interrogation training is mostly declassified and when you move to source ops all classifications go up.

How about if you are already fluent in a foreign language? Do you still need to go through the language institute and learn a new one?

[@marlonmoncrieffe0728]

It depends on which foreign language they need. But if you have a foreign language they need, you just have to take a test proving you are fluent.

So 35m is the mos that I wanted from the jump. Around January of this year, Recruiter said I had to take the DLAB to qualify. I took the test, got a “good” score (would qualify for some languages) but recruiter said not high enough to get 35m. Is this true? Is there a way around it? I really want 35m. Thank you!

[@patgarrett3746]

Did you get this MOS? Right now I think the score you need on the DLAB in 95. I've been a 35M for 10 yrs now in the reserves. It's a great MOS, but you really can only do the job outside of the country because we are not allowed to collect on US citizens. Now if you go 35L (Counterintelligence Agent) no language is required and you can work in the states. The only thing with the 35L MOS is you have to be an E4 to go to the course. You used to have to be 21 and an E5 but they need CI now so they are relaxing the requirements.

Pat Garrett Can the army do a 1 point ST score waiver on the ASVAB to become this MOS?
