Hello. For 35L counterintelligence mos, is it required to take the DLAB to stay eligible within the mos? Also I hear that there’s a lot of report writing, am I expected to be writing 5-10+ report pages with this mos? Appreciate any answers I can get from my questions. Thank you.

DLAB/language requirements are not a requirement that I know, check with local CI Agent for updated requirements. Yes you will write ALOT!!! Learn to type without looking at the keys. My experience at CISAC was for every activity out say for an hour, I would usually write reports of that event for four hours. My personal best was 15 pages. Good luck and don’t let that potential workload sway you. Take on the challenge and put in the work. You’ll be fine.

If one of your concerns is report writing, you should look into a different job.

Not required, but doesn't hurt.

DLAB is not required for 35L or 35F.
