What specific questions do you have? I have been doing the job for a decade now and it is, in my opinion, one of the best jobs in the Army.

I'd like to know about joining, I'd love to be an officer but I want something fulfilling. What's the path to becoming a Cid warrant officer

The first step would be to check http://www.cid.army.mil for the minimum requirements to join as an enlisted agent. Normally CID only recruits its warrant officers from the enlisted agents serving in the field, but now and then there are special programs where some MPs are accepted directly to become CID warrant officers if they have meet some specific criteria. I believe as of today, you can become a warrant officer as soon as you have completed two years as an enlisted agent and meet a few additional requirements to those to become an enlisted agent. The most difficult requirement is to have a Bachelor’s Degree.

Counterintelligence Special Agent is kind of a cross between the two. They investigate cantonal security crimes and interact with civilians on the battlefield while conducting force protection operations.

35L, it's worth stopping by your local CI office and getting the details.

Cival affairs will be going through some big changes in the next few Years, Big Army is already talking about getting rid of one of the AD CA BDE's. The Army went from generating CA Troops to "We have to many" The usual cyclic action in the military. I recommend looking up CA Missions and units to see what you want and what you need to accomplish to be qualified and also keep in mind that with shrinking slots comes more competition.

1SG Dennis Hicks is right. There is more competition now, but don't let it discourage you from trying. "Iron sharpens Iron" as they say. Trying, even while failing makes, you a better and more well rounded Soldier. If your interested, go for it.
