Re: Military "advice"

That's awesome! I was a 35F but I doubt anything I wrote is still in use. I left Huachuca early last year and they are constantly rewriting the courses. But I think some of my blocks are still in use for the Master Analyst course (I am drawing a blank on the name because they changed it a couple of years ago and I stilled called it AMAC because I'm petty that way).

I don't know much about the officer side of things, but for enlisted (and Warrant), the branch has a lot of openings. I know that back in 09 or 10 we were overstrengthed for officers but there's a good chance that's changed since then. I'm still in touch with some of the folks I used to work with at Huachuca and the last I heard was that for FY14, they're having the same number of BOLC 1 courses as in FY13 and that the current plan is to double both BOLC I & II for FY15. (Fiscal years start 3 months before calendar year; FY14 begins 1 OCT 2013 and ends 30 SEP 2014)

tl;dr: You should have the same chances of going MI in the next year as you would have had the last couple years and your chances might be even better the following year.

TBH this is kind of eerie, as you're the 2nd person I'e met online through fandom who's been a former instructor at Huachuca-- in fact, you probably knew that guy, as he'd been an instructor for a while, and only recently retired.

I hae quite a few attractive civilian skills for a 35 slot, so I was hoping maybe to go ACASP should I go enlisted, but god only knows what the sequestration will do. :/ I'm 2+ in Arabic, 3 in French, and I'm starting out in Korean and Chinese, and hae some Masters level intel analysis ourses under my belt. So who knows?

But thanks for the encouraging news re: the BOLC classes, especially with MI! If things don't go as planned with my applications to the Alphabet Agencies, at least now I know my hopes for a military spot aren't boned. Most of the OCS websites were pretty doom and gloom for a while.

I guess it makes a lot of sense-- with our troop strength downsized, I read somewhere that our focus lands on intelligence. Which is good by me.

Thank you, recruiter!anon, you have given this .mil hopeful, uh... hope!
