I was a 91G - Behavioral Science Specialist - for over 15 years, from 1972-1988. All of that time was spent in an outpatient mental health/substance abuse rehabilitation center.

68X is a low density MOS which means they're not that many of us out there. Also you have to be resilient to maintain a healthy lifestyle while carrying on with the profession. Keep in mind that people come to us in their "darker" moments and sometimes the situations and scenarios can be very similar that something you've gone through in life. As far as training or AIT goes... There is a lot of information so if you don't have a background in the field definitely do some studying.

I was a 91X and served in Iraq at Abu Ghraib where I was responsible for intake exams and treatment recommendations and evaluations for detainees. I also handled some intake exams for troops. This isn’t your typical job but be aware that there is the potential that you may have to treat the enemy and will be held to a high standard while being judged by your fellow troops. It was rough.
