Hi, i want to try to reclass from 74D to an intelligence MOS if possible. Inside really interested in languages as i know 3. I also scored a 123 on the dlab, and i have a gt of 127, st of 115. I’m wondering if The window does open up, is 35P better or 35F with a language component. Or another intelligence mos? I want to know pros and cons as well. Thank you

From my biased perch -- 35N (SIGINT analyst) with a language trailer is the way to go, but 35P (Voice Intercept Operator) is a solid second. I am biased because I've been doing this for 30+years, but you'll be surrounded by skilled people in a tech environment. Obviously , all assignments are not high-speed low-drag (you gotta deal with it), but the skillsets and professional relationships you develop will pay off when you leave the service. Plus having a TS/SCI clearance with full scope poly will open other career doors. Good luck in your pursuit of making Johnny Kim the best he can be.

Thank you CSM. In the case that i go with 35P will they let me choose the language? My friend told me it’s needs of the army but if there’s more than one need you can choose among those needs

You absolutely should not reclass into a language based MOS. They are very poorly managed as far as strengths go. You'll notice that 35P has been on the precision retention list for several languages for years. That means of you posses one of those languages you have to request to HRC to be allowed to reenlist, and you may be told no, or may just be reclassed.
If you are looking to go into MI, 35N is a field that is always short and has good promotion potential.

So 35N is the way to go SFC? Can I still try going to DLI to learn a new language?

No you can't. It's not a language authorized MOS.
