How difficult are the MOS schools for 17E, 35F and 35G? What’s your opinion on the day-to-day with these jobs?

I’be been in the guard for ten years and I’m switching over to the reserve and I’m trying to decide on 3 MOS’s to reclass to: 17E, 35F or 35G.
My questions are how difficult are the mos schools for each of these and what’s your opinion on the day-to-day with these jobs?
Of course I’m looking for answers from people who actually work in these MOS’s lol.

35F) I recently went through AIT in Fort Huachuca from MAY 2020 - NOV 2020 it wasn't difficult at all. Since you will be considered a MOS-T AIT would be even easier for you than the lower enlisted. Just be glad you'll be going without covid restrictions. Additionally, Fort Huachuca is beautiful so many hiking trails and canyons.
If you chose to go 35F once you get to your unit learn your PIRs and remember IPB steps and you should be golden. It's a lot of reading and analyzing but also rewarding in the civilian world.
I'm currently an ALL-SOURCE Analyst at Corps level straight out of AIT and Airborne school.
35G just assist 35F. you will learn how to do most of the other intel jobs that will assist you in your analysis.

I went through the course twice in 1997 and once in 2002, when it was 96B, not 35F. The 97 version of the course was WAY harder and the skills of the more recent graduates I served with showed me that the course has gotten easier. After I was medically retired,, I ran the simulation software for most of the capstone courses at the school, (multiple courses, both Officer and Enlisted.) I'm honestly not sure if the course difficulty is worth discussing anymore. It's been four years since I worked at the school and much has changed. But I will say this; if you can read military maps, draw near perfect symbology (if they even use paper maps, symbology stencils - called templates, acetate, military protractor, and markers anymore) and you can follow very simple directions, then you'll do fine as a 35F. 35G is a different story. Their work really is hard if you don't have great eyesight, great spatial recognition, and a degree of intuition when it comes to blurry, oblique-angle photos and calculating shadows to determine dimensions. I worked with few who I'd say were really good.

35F ... faster rank, 100 percent woc selection, TS/SCI and easiest application in civilian life. Thank me in 10 years.
