[quote name='Thongsy']If you don't mind me asking, but what did you do as a Intel Specialist, without saying anything that would get you in trouble. Everytime I considered joining up, that was always the field I was most interested in. Hell I'm still kinda consider joining up, I know I would hate basic and probably some parts of the lifestyle, but I know I probably enjoy it too.[/QUOTE]
For the most part, I researched information and compiled it into some sort of product (i.e. presentations, maps, reports, etc.). While I was in Okinawa I also helped with Anti-Terrorism (back before terrorism was hot on the streets; pre-9/11) and Counterintelligence-type presentations. Basically, if a high-ranking individual was going to another country, I researched the country (ATM scams, terror threats in the area, level of distain for Americans amongst the general populace, etc.) and made them aware of these events.
Although, now that I actually think about it, I also did more than my fair share of shit-work, cleaning toliets, moving gear, mowing lawns, standing endless hours of
ing watch, etc....
For me, Intel appealed the most because I figured I should try and do something that under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't have the chance to do (which I accomplished - SERE training, spi rigging, playing with C-4, throwing grenades until my arm was sore, etc). Plus, a line on the 'ol resume about having had a Top Secret clearance usually considerable draws interest during job interviews.
If you ever want to know more or are seriously considering it, feel free to ask.
Edit: And yes, jlarlee was 100% correct, I worked in a huge vault, no windows where the farts just linger.....
