Most of the people I worked with were great too. The few times I actually got to analyze live intelligence was also great. Intelligence school after that was likewise a lot of fun. The good? The year in Monterey at DLI was fucking awesome. OK, Navy, so you'll probably chip a lot of paint. You'll get stuck writing routine contact reports or making endless Excel spreadsheets for your CO or (if you're like me) get put in a tactical unit that only practices for hot war, and spends most of their time washing TRQ-32 collector trucks. The guys at E-1 thru E-4 humping through their first (and likely only) enlistment simply don't get the fun stuff. This is the problem with pretty much all military intelligence MOS's. There are a minority of positions in that MOS that are interesting, exciting, and fun. I can't say what it's like in the Navy, but in the Army, that job (and the intercept/linguist job) can be pretty freakin' boring. The real question is what you are looking for in a military job. no more Soviet Union) but from what I hear it's all about the same. Things have changed somewhat since then (e.g. I was an Intelligence Analyst/Linguist (Russian) back in the 80's. Will be out for the rest of the night, though, and at training for most of tomorrow, so I won't be able to check it until after 1700 Pacific. First re-enlistment bonus is generally around $50,000 from what I know. That is a 2 year school that you get out of as an E5. If you are good at math and science and enjoy them, go for it. On the other hand it is much more difficult.
On one hand it is a much better paying job for re-enlistment bonuses than a CTI and gets a much better salary once you are out of the Navy. If you do well on your ASVAB, your recruiter will probably try to talk you into the Nuclear Engineering field. It is just a standardized test that the government loves. The score doesn't necessarily mean that it will be easier for you. You need higher than that to get anything else. You need about a minimum 82(don't quote me on the number) to get a chance at the job and a 100 on the DLAB(Defense Language Aptitude Battery) to get contract. CTIs don't travel nearly as much as the rest of the Navy because we can listen from just about anywhere out of our major listening posts. Depending on what language you get will determine what base you go to and what assignments you will get. Not a lot of CTIs are on surface warfare. The information available is that you either stay on the ground, go on a sub, or get air crew. I can't tell you anything specific about the job 1)because I am still and training and don't know anything about what we actually do and 2)the details are top secret and you won't find much about it. Russian is the first choice for most people so it gets filled very very quickly. Spanish is more needed than you would think, and gets filled rather quickly. You go in with a contract for the job, but you don't get to pick a language until you are in basic. It all depends on when you get to RTC Great Lakes.
