O4 Army intelligence officer here; just got off work and the threads are all cancer. AMA
>inb4 I work for Israel, have no education or real-world skills, and the typical NEET replies
>also, general army bread; USAF and USN may resume sucking cocks or cranking it to trap threads.
I'd bet my left nut there's no fucking majors on /b. Gimme at least an AO or something
Thanks for your service /b/ro. Keep it real.
>>708680021
You'd lose your left nut.
>>708680083
My pleasure, brother.
>>708680084
What unit? I'm 173rd.
>>708680295
I'm the only intel officer in my brigade, so I'll just say I'm on Fort Sill. How's Italy?
OPSEC faggots, now they gonna get you.
Fucking Mafia III has been installing all goddamned day, and it's only 80% complete. Fucking gay.
>>708679778
Prove it.
>>708681240
>>708681372
By doing what? Posting my LES?
Oh well.
>>708681464
Crop a pic of the rank on your CAC.
>>708682467
this'll take a minute, but I can do that.
Ever been to a key party?
>>708683070
Nope. No clue what that even is.
>>708679778
What's the scoop on Syria?
>military
>intellegence
Pick one
>>708683196
Airstrikes, almost exclusively. Largely ineffective, from what I've heard. SOCOM is having fun over there, though.
>>708682945
Well shit, sir.
Navy enlisted here.
What brings you to /b/?
>>708683257
>"intellegence"
That red line under your words isn't 4chan's way of celebrating your creative spelling, cumwad.
>>708683324
Aren't the Turks doing their own air strikes? Or is that inside their border?
>>708683545
I live here. I have a wife and several children, so my social life is nonexistent. This is my only outlet.
So ever since reading 50 shades, I can't call a officer "sir" just feels wrong. I'm from hood BTW worst fucking base I've been in. Give me Meade any day
>>708683588
The Turks only care about Turks, so they'll have bombing runs on their border, but not outside of it, for the most part.
Hey OP, U been to Leavenworth yet for Major's school?
>>708683658
I don't get off on the whole officer thing, so I don't really care. I spent almost 7 years at Hood. It beats the shit out of Sill
tell us about the mk ultras and the majic
>>708683631
I'm sorry to hear that. Whats your specialization?
>>708683545
>>708683631
Also, my dad was in the Navy--crew chief on P3s. What do you do?
>>708683798
No. I was sent to the Naval Postgrad School in Monterrey, CA, instead. Fuck Leavenworth
>>708683913
Generic intel, but I went to a HUMINT managers course, which gave me a skill identifier that I don't use.
>>708679778
>intel officer
so you jerk off to trannies at a computer while everyone else goes out and risks their lives?
woah, aren't you brave...
Is your job difficult in the sense that you have to be creative and ingenious, or is it procedural and simple?
>>708684008
Good Duty. There's the Defense Language Institute there as well.
> enlisted man here, 31C10V9
>>708683926
Corpsman. Currently on shore duty.
>>708684070
How long have you been in?
>>708684088
2/10 bait for making me reply
At least you still have whataburger!
>>708684151
It's a mix of art and science. I have to bullshit my way through a lot of briefings, but I'm good at it by now.
>>708684088
Looks like MISTER DUBS is butthurt!
What is it like to have slits as pupils?
>>708684237
Cool job. I've got just over 14 years in
>>708684318
Art and science? Can you explain farther?
>>708684414
Sure. Each enemy or potential enemy has a doctrine, or a preferred way of fighting using specific equipment. I have to take that knowledge and apply it to the terrain and the situation, which is the bullshit part, because I have no way of predicting the future--I can only make educated guesses
>>708684239
can you use your inteligence to gimme back muh runescape funtimes?
or better yet find me a job?
>>708684542
I can find a job for you, if you don't have any mental illness or pre-existing injuries that would limit your movement
>>708684538
Is there any math involved?
>>708684670
Just basic math, for generic intel, in terms of keeping track of how many vehicles and artillery tubes the enemy has left after you engage them lethally.
>>708684367
Have you been stationed anywhere interesting?
Got any stories to tell?
Tell me something, cammo dude.
Ever seen anything meme related?
Or killer robots, or cities that surrender even before the war start.
>>708684786
27 months in Baghdad, and 9 months in Zabul province, Afghanistan. Stories? shit. Most of them are too long. We use to take the pieces of suicide bombers and put them back together in running man poses. The torso would always get shredded, so it was just head, arms, legs, and penis. The dick was usually stuck to something.
>>708684755
Kek. So addition and subtraction. But wouldn't you need to do some calcs with the way the terrain is laid out and where it would best to use which weapons where? Also, have you ever personally met Barack Obama?
>>708684956
EOD robots are pretty fucking cool.
>>708685042
Actually, you're right about slope for terrain, etc. I have a topographical engineer who does that for me, though.
>>708685042
>>708685133
And no, I've never met the current president, but I met George W.
>>708679778
What do you use to get intel? On the ground intel gathering? And is this specific targeting or general troop movement intel? I'd assume you get the Intel and make a PPT for some Ltc or Col to bless off or make decisions? BTW I'm shooting from the dark.
E3 USMC 0341 semper fi.
fuck you army.
Share the most secrety thing you got OP
>>708682945
hey sir, go fuck yourself you fucking faggot.
regards,
a bitter SGT
>>708685133
So you just take all the information and compile it into one document for combat and/or future reference?
>>708685352
There are several "INTs." Signals, electronic, measures, imagery, human, and others. You fuse these together to get a complete picture of the enemy. You can use one or several for specific targeting or massed maneuver elements
>>708685453
I'm glad you got that off your chest, sergeant.
>>708685452
I'm probably not going to do that. Jail time would be involved.
>>708685414

>>708685549
Badass, so when do you get to make the decisions? Or can you already? I'd assume it be at the next rank??
Have you ever handled top secret or classified info? And also, have you ever considered selling info on the deepweb?
>>708685884
Actually, it's not too dissimilar.
>>708685933
I control what intelligence assets are gather what information on which targets, but that's about it.
United States Marine reporting in.
Hows life, fat ass?
>>708686020
You a lifer or looking for something better. Pretty sure a fuckton of officers always end up in d.c
The rest of you are probably noticing how bitter the marines are. You see, they have to use leftover Army equipment because the department of the navy doesn't give a fuck about them

>>708685947

Now, why work for your country if nations-states are nothing more than a collective delusion?
The only thing real is money, brah.
Doesn't private sector pay better?
>>708686440
Reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated.
Only intel officer in your bgd, so you probably don't get to deal with most of the juicy stuff intelligence units get to deal in, and only relay their info to your bosses? No idea what you actually do, legit swing for the fences.
That actually sounds like a fucking sweet job in the army though, but I bet being field grade drowns you in paperwork and shit. CWO master race is where its at.
Only real question I have is if you think there will be a major global conflict in this "post-war era" in the next decade. My money is on no, but the powers that be or whatever the fuck they are are real sneaky like at creating big wars and shit.
>>708686448
I make 109K annually. Before taxes. I'm happy with what I have, and my family has everything they need. I'm not greedy or really that ambitious.
What's your take on the election?
>>708686539
Not too juicy at the moment, but I've been in some high-speed intel jobs dealing with the real deal. As for war, I disagree. We'll have another one before I retire in 2022

So, tell me, where is the fun in war?
To murder inocent people, or torture dubious sources, or burn entire vilages?
Gotta be honest with you, irony aside, must be fun.
>>708686820
It's pretty fun, if you're a little deranged. I've done some shit that I shouldn't have, but I don't regret it. People forget how safe they are in the U.S. It sounds like bullshit hype, but war made me feel alive. I was on edge most of the time. You get to do shit that would land you in jail in the states, and not only does no one care, but it's encouraged (for some of it)
>>708686706
I hope you know where Aleppo is.
>>708687047
I do, and I don't care if Gary doesn't. I don't want to end up there, so it's just as well that he can't find it on a map
>>708679778
ADF specialist officer here, what military are you with?
>>708687230
U.S.
>>708687230
. . . left something off my reply
>>708687230
I hear you guys are hiring American officers. What's that about?
>>708687036
I can only imagine the shit you guys do in your own country.
And this Inteligence thing, is worth the pain in the ass?
I bet you've seen some nasty psyops. Ever made someone think he is dead?
>>708686676
No shit? Involving Russia, then? I can't see China doing something warlike unless they say fuck it, go all WW2 Germany and try to carve a piece of the world out for themselves. But then I guess they are crazier than the krouts.
Russia is all butthurt over us cockblocking their ICBMs all over europe, and Putin has been telling international media that we're on the brink of war, but I can't fucking see them heading into war. Russia/China alliance is shakey at best.
Why do you think it will happen? Some secret shit I don't know about and you can't say, or do you just think they're fucking crazy enough to say fuck it and march west?
>>708687374
I love doing intel work. Totally worth it. No psyops--that's for the Reserves. I'm active duty
>>708687265
Nice one mate, >>708687370
In reply to you, I haven't heard anything about that through the vine, but it's probably due to the amount of drop kicks in Australia now days.
>>708687423
Probably not. I'm going to say Iran or DPRK. Russia may help. China won't do shit because they don't have the power projection, so they'll only fuck with us if we fuck with them on their turf
>>708681264
Ha.
>Not having control of your internet speed/package.
>>708687491
They're all just going grade A jobs like rifleman, patrolman.
>>708687370
w0t, the reserve has an ongoing psyops in american soil?
Does private sector have psyops too?
>>708687491
Same guy for both. I was thinking about joining up. The pay was better, but I don't want to lose my clearance
My CWO intel source told me some shit is going down in Iraq right now. Anything you can elaborate on?
>>708687679
No. Psyops is a function of the Reserves. Active duty doesn't do that shit, and we only do it in war zones. I worked with a Psyop team in Afghanistan. The team lead was some chill jew dude from Chicago. Funny fucker.
Tell me, how advanced are your surveilance tools?
You get to use those nasty viruses just to get audio feed from the scene?
Or hidden micro cameras with infra red or something like that.
>>708687739
The intel isn't much juicier than the news for Iraq. There are some iraqi-led operations that are probably going to fail, because they're all pussies.
>>708687684
It's a cracka of a job, pay and privileges are great.
Only downside is we don't see a lot of action typically. It's mostly trying to reinforce recruit and lectures. but you know if you're interested to each his own. I'm currently closing in on my 12th year
>>708687832
Very.
That's the purview of cyber command; I don't fuck with that stuff.
Yes.
>>708687812
>only do it in warzones
Have you seen the world cup or the olympics?
Is Brazil a fucking warzone now?
>>708687919
I met Aussies in Iraq. I love that Steyr that you guys have. Great weapon, but it looks high-maintenance
>>708687973
How do I apply the counter control in a surveillance scenario?
>>708687566
Oh wow. Iran and DPRK weren't even on my radar. Well...Iran has sort of been a target of U.S./Israel for a long ass time...guess we do now have it surrounded in bases...we have been poking them in the eye with a sharp stick for decades...I guess that's actually highly plausible, I just figure it will be another Iraq where they get steamrolled. Maybe a little rougher.
DPRK have been threatening to kill everybody since forever. Most of the world would love to watch them finally get shit on. China knows if they throw down, they'll have to either help or look like a bitch, and don't want either, so they keep a tight leash on the DPRK
>>708688107
GPS jammers would help, but you're pretty fucked once we get close.
>>708688135
Also, Iran was supplying the Shiites in Iraq with RPG-29s, EFPs, and all manner of top-shelf shit.
Why are you at Sill? Training? Or just attached to one of the tenants?
>>708688069
She's a beut, she was at first (I had sexual fingers when I first enlisted) , but after it getting drilled into your head for years it's easy as shit, same as anything.
>>708688135
China's lost a lot of control over the DPRK. I think they're going to cut the Koreans loose and let them fend for themselves shortly
>>708688742
Assigned here. I PCS in JUN17
Nice meeting you mr cammo dude.
And don't forget.
mercenaries > all
>>708688784
Your women were pretty hot, too. The only hotter women I saw belonged to the Romanians. Those bitches are awe-inspiring.
>>708688904
Likewise, and k.
>>708688243
Yeah, and a lot of the guys killing American troops were Iran mercs. Or mercs from other countries that were being paid with Iranian money.
We've wanted to take down Iran for a longass time, we used to control their country along with Britain after we coup'd them, then they took their country back and still hate us for that. We want to take it down now for the same reason we took out Qaddafi, they want to gold-base their currency and kill the petro dollar. Nothing to do with nukes. And, I'm sure there's like 50 other shadowy reasons we want them gone that have nothing to do with building nukes. World-Island theory and all that jazz.
But to get the American and international public to sort of let us butt fuck them like we did Iraq is going to be a lot harder to do than Libya. Not that that was hard...most Americans probably couldn't even tell me why we went over there...
>>708689035
good points, all. Can't say I disagree with any of it.
>>708688974
Ours? No way mate, bunch of dyke looking sheilas. Only ever see some goodies in the airforce, especially the pilots, keeping it lean and in shape.
>>708689184
I must've been catching the few good ones, then.
>>708689246
Lucky bastard. Could never stand them being enlisted in the army though, always dropping packs and carrying on, not to mention the drama they'd bring when they'd "integrate" with one another
>>708689143
So basically, you think Iran is finally going to west the western dick before you retire? And/or the DPRK is gonna get lit up? That's some interesting shit but I wouldn't call it a major global conflict.
>>708689500
Oh, don't get me wrong; women should not be in the Army, but since they're there, might as well see what they have to offer. They're dead weight, though.
>>708680439
Dude I live in Lawton, love the sounds of the constant explosions coming from the fort
>>708680295
Sensitive question brah
IHO how long would it have taken your DRF1 to reach Benghazi?
>>708689609
get*, not west
>>708689609
Major? Maybe not. But yeah, Iran is cruising for a bruising.
>>708689615
You guys have the same problem, I presume?
>>708689616
No shit!! I'm in between medicine park and Elgin.
>>708689617
I'm familiar with the GRF, and that would have taken 24 hours before the first cats got there.
>>708689712
Apparently so
>>708684641
mental illness, maybe
no injuries aside from the aids tho, and mental damage from abusive siblings/parents
hook me up bruh i need monies
>>708689861
Anyway, thanks for the chat, mate, Gotta run a kid off to school. bloody sports days.. Have good one.
>>708690154
Sorry, hombre.
>>708690212
you too, bro
>>708689814
How about closer assets say out of Sig.
or AfricaCom?
>>708690302
Sicily? Not sure. Africom isn't actually in Africa, so . . . .
I'm the commander and chief of the US army
>>708690302
>>708690460
I lived in Sicily for 6 years, when my dad was in the Navy. Decent place, by the way. Fucking volcano sucked, though. I know we could've had a UAS over those guys in Libya within 10 hours, though. Armed.
>>708690653
Generally Milley? I just saw you in Georgia last week.
So I need to get my Q clearance for the special program I'm interested in; anything I should be prepared to face during my SSBI?
>>708690764
General*
>>708690460
I thought you were in MI?
DRF is on one hour stand by, or was in Reagan years. Launch from Aviano or Mal Pensa....
24rs become a bunch of fat fobbits?
>>708689691
Well, it may not be as interesting as WW3 which I don't think will happen, but it is something I didn't really will think will happen, that now I think probably will. Learn something every day.
Not every day I get to hear an intel officer talk about this stuff. Not something a lot people know anything about. Peace out sir.
>>708690653
I'm the motherfucking president. Obey the BBC!
>>708690764
Ah shit man, nah but I do live in GA! Crazy
>>708690768
Do you have to get a poly? That's the only thing I would worry about. Also, they don't care who you list as friends and neighbors. They ask those people for more names, then they talk to THOSE fuckers you didn't list. Be prepared for that.
>>708690785
*Gene Ral
Damn auto correct options.
>>708690799
I was talking about GRF.
>>708690865
Yeah, GEN Milley was in Fort Stewart for a warfighter exercise. It was the only time in 14 years I listened to a general with actual interest.
>>708690841
take care, brother. Good talk
>>708690907
Yes on the poly (TS-SCI billet).
Any idea what questions I'll be asked?
>>708691158
Oh cool! What's a warfighter exercise?
>>708691279
Only generally. They ask about fidelity to the country, mishandling of information, group affiliations. I never had to get one for my SCI access, but that's also why I stay away from NSA and other SIGINT jobs. I haven't done anything bad, I just don't like the idea of a poly. I'm nervous enough as it is.
>>708683257
Could be worse...
Could be " The George Bush Centre of Intelligence "...
>>708691395
It was with the 3rd infantry division. It's a program called WARSIM, and it replicates a near-peer army with similar capabilities as our own, and we fight them digitally to validate our warfighting functions (intel, maneuver, logistics, et cetera).
>>708691526
spotted the britfag
>>708689035
>we used to control their country along with Britain
Ya WRONG. You have to be really bad at your job. Learn to history. France and Britain wanted to remain in Iran post WW2, only US pressure at Suez Canal forced them out. Iran hates the US because we backed a coup d'état that put the Shah in and assinated their homeboy Mosadegh.
Why don't you get back to mopping the floor?
>>708691433
That doesn't sound too bad. Thanks.
>>708691603
That wasn't OP. I'm OP. That was the dude asking about the next major conflict. I wish we still had ID tags.
>>708683257
>military intelligence

>>708683625
Also, what the fuck is this about. I must've been at work when these faggots memed all over themselves with this cumguzzlry
>>708691692
OK, yeah it is confusing.
Next sensitive question if the shit hits the fan over the election rigging, etc. Would todays US military side with the crowds IYO?
>>708692079
That's funny. I've never heard the "military-intelligence-is-an-oxymoron" thing before.
>>708692234
You've never heard Hangar 18? Damn son I feel sorry for you. Go listen to it on youtube rn
>>708692196
I can honestly say we would always side with the people. There a reason officers don't swear allegiance to the president--we swear to defend the constitution.
>>708692333
Trips confirm hangar 18 is a sick song
Former e4. Thanks for your service major but fuck the army dd-214 is life.
>>708692196
>>708692336
I misread that slightly. We wouldn't do shit if the Trumpfags threw a few fits in the streets, but if it were a proven fact that the election was rigged, we would probably resort to praetorianism briefly
>>708692426
I'm starting to feel the same way. Thank you for your service as well. No matter what your experience, no one leaves the Army a worse person than when they came in.
>>708692336
Even so I worry, this blatant BS is to provoke an uprising so a state of siege could be declared and a martial law lock down happen. Been in other countries and seen it go down.
>>708692779
In other countries, the military is ruled by fear. I don't think a few sergeants would hesitate to frag a general who's telling them to do some repugnant shit.
>>708691589
Close, begorra, but no Cuban ...

Ever deal with any "Agent Smith" types?
When is ww3 going to strat?
>>708693681
Somewhat. The CIA sends their junior faggots into the field to get experience, so they're pretty fucking retarded. I had two of them try to talk me into turning over a source I detained. He hit one of our tanks with his car, drunk as fuck. The woman tried to honeypot me. I told her to shut the fuck up and asked the man what he wanted. He told me, and I told him to fuck off. 40 minutes later, I got a call from the brigade commander telling me to let the guy go, or he was going to knife-hand me into a puddle of shit. So I let the faggot go.
>>708693887
About 6 years
>>708693653
I have no doubt, but the people don't care. Until they do, we won't move.
>>708693909
Dont you think its going to start sooner?
>>708694218
If I did, I would've said so, now wouldn't I?
>>708693909
At least it's after my EAOS.
I fucking hate army faggots. I used to be in the army, till I got a general court marshal. I was trying to talk some piece of shit into killing himself, while stationed in Korea. The faggot pussies out and told the chaplain on me. The army is full of fucking cowards.
>>708693909
Also where to move to avoid all that ww3 mess?
>>708694299
You have narcs no matter where you go. I keep a tight-knit group though. My men would never rat on me.
>>708694354
The Aussies are pretty safe.
>>708694391

>>708694448

>>708694458

>>708694603

>>708694573
OP here, that was not me.
>>708694661
Fuck this non-OP faggot
>>708694046
>but the people don't care
BBbbut muh Bradgelina! I know you haven't seen this yet. But my jaw dropped.
All the trouble at the Trump Rallies? The highway closure in AZ? The violence that caused the Chicago rally to be cancelled for public safety were all caused by sub-contractors of the Clinton Campaign and the DNC. They are bragging on the vidya about using mentally ill and union goons to do "stuff."
But....their OPSEC is weak. Killary will be too tainted to rule. Do not see this ending well for her in any scenario.
>>708694714
Yea, fuck all non-OP faggots.
>>708694643
Alright one more question, if so many poles saved so many jews during ww2 why arent you ppl thankful for that?
>>708694815

>>708694826
Why would we be grateful for saved jews?
>>708694813
She'll be president. Half the population doesn't even know who she is. They're fucking blind and deaf.
>>708694899
Quit it! I am OP! I fucking hate what /b has become. Fuck off!

Becuz after war they were able to move to israle to bulid that strange country.
>>708695039

>>708694961

>>708695047
Which has caused no end of problems. Also, it was created before WWII with the Balfour declaration.
You got a secure comm line, OP?
tox, telegram, etc..
>>708684237 here, would be nice to keep in contact.
>>708695200
Yeah but only thanks to jews from Poland it could get strong like it is today, Also are you familiar wita operation bridge, that took place right after usrr fall?
>>708695419
No such thing as a secure line anymore. I have to jump IPs constantly because I'm paranoid about posting here. I have no real public records beyond my birth and driver's license. I sure as hell don't maintain contact with anyone more than a few months. Gotta be careful
>>708695700
Why?
>>708695700
Understood. Good luck out there sir.
>>708695775
Thanks, brother. Take care.
>>708695768
It's my job. I know what we're capable of doing. It's fucking terrifying.
