I am a 37F Reservist seeking to reenlist into the Active Duty component.
I have 3 main questions:
1) Which career is better while in the Army, 37F or 35F, and why? (my definition of better, is not being stuck in an office)
2) What is day-to-day life of both MOS?
3) Which MOS will prepare me for government work following my service?
Notes: I have an Associate's and Bachelor's Degree in Intelligence Studies with a minor in Counterterrorism, I learned Arabic MSA and Russian, and I love cultures, communicating in different languages, and being out in the environment and am very analytical. I need additional information on both MOSs to come to a conclusion. My ETS is DEC 20.
I realize it is ultimately my decision, but I'd love input from experienced individuals.

Never enlist into an MOS that requires a selection, if you fail you're needs of the Army.
Enlist into an MOS you like and then apply for the 37F selection. If you pass, you go to 37F Q course. If you fail, you go back to your MOS. and try again

I thought you were already 37F trained? So you wouldn't fail unless you failed physically or am I missing something?

SGT Hunter Mcgaughey 37F AD is different from 37F RC. The AD version has a selection process and requires Airborne. Theyoght be allowed to transfer directly or they might not. But, if not, my advice is never enlist into an MOS that requires a selection and has a high fail rate because statistically, that person is getting reclassed to something else.

PSYOP guy here, and former instructor at SWC.
Go 35F if you can. I love my branch, but for you coming from the USACAPOC is a gamble you don’t want to take.

SGT (Join to see), I have to keep it real. If you like to give it a try, you can later on time permitting; based on what the regiment requires at the moment rank wise. Yes, I was the the PSYOP Recruitng commander once as well!

You have a better chance of finding employment with intel than Psyops. Intel is a wider market and the skills are more applicable in a wider array of jobs.
