Any of you guys work in Air Force Intel? Either as officer or enlisted.

My best friend's brother is interested in going AF Intel officer and is asking me questions that I'm not qualified to answer. He is a senior in college.

I used to work with Navy intel people on an operational level staff and both of those also apply to Navy intel officers. I think Air Intel is mostly wannabe pilots. Lots of nerding out in front of computer screens and postulating over tactical poo poo they don't really understand.

But the young lad is very determined to go intel, I'm trying to stir him gently into doing actual line jobs, preferably in the Navy but can't tell someone what to do with their life.

Does AF break down their intel officers into different specialties or do they rotate between squadrons, space systems, staff work etc...? Also does AF intel do human intelligence? I'm guessing that if they do it's a small segment.

I wrote a comprehensive post about USAF intel officers years ago. I can’t find it, but trust me, it’s still gonna hold up.

Lol okay but yeah I wish I could read this.

Also surprisingly accurate about Navy Intel officers who work in air wing staff.
