Yeah, I’ve gotten a lot of great information in a short period of time. I am VERY thankful for all the help from everyone.

At least now I know what direction to look for further info.

As to my MOS, I won’t know until I sign, obviously, but I am hoping to be assigned to an MOS that will allow for me to attend the DLI in Monterey. Obviously that means one of the intel tracks.

I figure that might be pretty tough with the Guard, but I’m still hopeful. I thought going “full time” would make me MORE likely to get such an MOS, because I thought it was a case of wanting more full time, rather than having such a limited number of positions. Obviously I had it backwards.

I have a list of MOSs, in order of preference, that I am interested in and/or willing to sign on as.

I am going to do some reading about the AGR and see how I might best be able to pursue that.

Due to my age, I am limited to the Army or Army Guard, which is fine. I consider all branches to be equally honorable and important. It’s just unfortunate that I waited so long to get things underway and am now faced with a limited number of ways to achieve my goals.

thats linguist, they need arab interps i dont forsee much of a civilian job in that, unless you work it out to get in the FBI. I deployed with an 09L they are natural foreign speakers so they dont have to go to DLI just how to get the info we need. My buddy was a Lebanese christian he was very helpful to us at intel gathering, now he has some good contacts with the FBI, i think he will be hired by them sortly
