14N Intelligence Officer. (Ops can't happen without them!)

Intel officers represent one of the largest and most diverse officer career fields in the Force. This is true both in terms of sheer numbers, backgrounds, and capabilities. Ops can't happen without them so they are everywhere, all the time.

    I enjoy the mix of working with spec ops but also doing the intel work behind a desk that is most of the Air Force. Is there a specific AFSC that does a bit of both? Maybe apart from officer is there a enlistment route? Like what about 1N0? Also, how can I make myself more available to be picked by a spec ops group? Thanks!

    1) Yes. 2) Possibly, but unlikely. 3) Possible, but you'll have to be released by the 14N career field, which may not happen. You can always turn the job down if you don't want it. 4) No-that is for enlisted linguists, not intel officers.

Perhaps it was due to a covert mission to learn why we forgot that freemasons were given the opportunity to hide nukes on farmland often masked by what would appear from arial swimming pools.

    JAG is a lawyer. Period. JAGs can help with ops in terms of approving military missions and targets ensuring there is no violation of the Law of Armed Conflict. But that JAG role is mostly in support of combat ops. Intel officers are providing intelligence analysis to combat operators. They can assist in mission planning, do targeting, analyze imagery, request collection of information, etc...Those two jobs are not the same, except they both require a lot of reading and research. : )
