intel

Pretty much what the title says. I took the OAR for intel yesterday only to find out my board in January was cancelled since they've filled intel slots for the FY. I'm a senior in college and was really hoping to start pretty quickly after graduating (less than a year if possible) so I'm...

Hi everyone, loooong time lurker but first time poster here I'm applying for Intel through OCS and planned on doing the January 2025 board. Yesterday when I finished my OAR my recruiter told me that they'd closed out all intel slots until FY2026 so my board won't be happening in January...

Good day everyone, I am stationed at a command where there are absolutely 0 1830 officers, but I need an interview in order to apply for the designator. Unfortunately, every officer that acts as a resource for finding these interviews is on extended leave and I don't necessarily have the time...

I’m currently at OCS and unfortunately I have been NPQed for pilot for having signs of an eye disease. Soon, I will be sending out requests to redesignate to other communities. Right now, I’m most interested in Intel, although I’m also considering Crypto, PAO, and Supply. Is there anyone who...

I am currently preparing my package for the SWO board. I am a criminal Justice major graduating in may. My first choice would be Intel but I am right below the GPA requirement. I have kept a 3.5 the last 2 years, but my very poor grades my first 2 years are holding me back. While I don’t mind...

Getting this thread started now that we are just a couple of weeks away from the submission deadline! Hopefully there are some other people floating around out there. Here are my stats: Sex: M Age: 22 OAR: 63 GPA: 3.65 Major: dual international politics/finance

Long story short, I wasn't prepared for college when I was young and did magnificently poorly, like a 1.something GPA over 48 attempted credits poorly. A decade later I figured my life out, did some NCPACE course, had some JST courses accepted, and am graduating with a 3.93 GPA from Penn State...

I've gone back and forth trying to decide between the two and would love some feedback from anyone who is willing to give it. I believe that my longterm goals are related to the intelligence community at large, however, I don't feel like I know enough about either community (SWO or intel) to...

I am graduating this December with a 3.9 GPA via Penn state in security and risk analysis. I’m an active duty CT (8 years TIS march of ‘23) and was hoping the TIS for 1810 would be extended this last revision. Seeing the new rev has not extended the TIS maximum and that 1830 has added their own...

Didn’t see a thread for this class so made one.

I'm an active duty E6 applying to OCS for 1810 and 1830. I completed my package and sent the PDF to officerapplications@navy.mil. In the FAQ on the Navy's OCS page it says if you do not receive a "confirmation of receipt" to send the email again and also email ocsquestions@navy.mil. I did, and...

Just came across an incredible article entitled "Don't judge your value by your proximity to the target" that I believe is most appropriate to our community, heck all communities of support professionals, as we are the expert IW support cadre providing critical IW capabilities to the warfighter...

I’m assuming someone else out there has had this happen to them or knows what to do in my situation. My second choice SWO approved me and gave me a leave date for April 14th. My first choice INTEL won’t be posting results until the end of April. Obviously there’s a timing issues here. Do I...

I am planning to apply to become a commissioned officer in Intel soon. Are Intel officer candidates required to obtain a TS security clearance or just a regular security clearance in order to get accepted? If TS is required, what is the process like? (Ie: how long does it take, how to prepare...

Hi everyone! I noticed in the most recent board schedule posted there is "SWO-IDC options" included in the Intel board. So I was trying to find more information on this because when I asked my recruiter, he had never heard of it and didn't think it was a thing. From what I have found just...

Working on my OCS application and my recruiter is having a hard time finding an Intel officer to conduct my interview. He suggested I try this forum to try and reach out. I live in Northwest, GA about an hour and a half from Atlanta but travel is not a problem. Any suggestions would be greatly...

I originally wanted to apply for the SEAL officer program, but there were a few obstacles that I failed to navigate through. I understood the package was due by the last week of February 2017, and I knew that one of the most significant pieces of the package is the PFT. That said, my last...
