I have some IT skills but no certs and absolutely zero analyst skills or experience. What should I be looking for and where? Are there contractors willing to train? Ive done contracts with forscom G8 and basic IT with my unit.

IT is all about skills. You could explore working on a help desk and use that as a launching pad into IT. Let your prospective employer know that's your game plan and you may find one that is willing to help

Hovering over your name, it shows that you're a "financial management specialist." I have no idea what you do on a daily basis, but all "intel" centers need admin/managment types with TS/SCI clearances. For example, there is an opening for an Administrative Specialist at the National Maritime Intelligence Center. Another example is for a Work Order Specialist at Joint Activities Fort Bragg. Both of these are in USA Jobs. At clearancejobs.com, I did a quick search of "adminstration" with a TS/SCI clearance and there were 2,800 results. Think about what you want to do and where you want to live. With a TS/SCI cleararance, jobs are not limited to IT or Intel.

Why are you not looking for something in your current field. Go onto Linked In, look for recruiters in that environment and submit a resume. You should have received resume writing during your last year. If not you can find online assistance. Also, you can go to USA Jobs (Federal work) there are always financial positions opening. You can search globally or by region in the US. Don’t limit yourself to contracing. Your clearance will only get you so far. If you want to go into theatre your clearance will get you a decent wage, but not such nice places. You have options, explore. Thank you for your service.
