Not sure how to phrase the question
But I’m considering going into either mos but I’m concerned with being confined into a room most of my work day. I don’t mind it, but I’m looking for something that has a decent ratio of being confined in an office to being outside. Both sound interesting and something I’m interested in. Is anyone able to answer which mos would allow me to “move around” a bit? Also I hope to go to the language school and become airborne qualified as well. I read somewhere army is looking for MI to go to airborne school. Thanks in advance!
(Idk if it’s worth mentioning I have interests in going to rasp and sfas in the future. I know 35t isn’t an mos in the 75th based on army website)

Well you should also keep in mind what you do in relations to your job also relies a lot on the kind of duty station you're at. FORSCOM, STRATCOM, ETC. Furthermore, what unit you're a part of on these bases also makes a difference. For example, I'm a 35P. While at a strat unit in Korea I was at a desk. The ENTIRE time. I was doing my job though, so no room for complaint. The 35Ts that I knew there were too. No experience with 35L. I hear that's a hard gig to get. In a forscom unit, I'm a part of a MICO. Completely different experience. No desk in sight. No actual opportunity to do my job per say. But I'm exposed to more technical aspects of the MI trade, while also doing your regular everyday Army stuff far more often. Any MOS could ultimately land you anywhere, but 35P is likely one of the more limiting ones... I mention this because you want to go to language school and 35L and 35T don't go there. 35P and 35M do.
35N is something that you may want to consider. I feel as if they get set up the best regarding diversity in military career experiences and civilian job matching.

Two totally different jobs. Neither require a language. (I never saw a tango go to DLI). From what you described, I don’t think you would like 35T. 35L can be a bit more diverse, but there’s also a lot of paperwork.
If you’re interested in getting out of the office and language or airborne, maybe look into 35P or 35N. From what you’ve described, each would check all the boxes of things you’re looking for.
Best of luck.

Well, the analyst job (35L) seems like a desk job to me - although you could also be assigned to units that deploy so your desk could be on a FOB somewhere... but the 35T technician maintains systems, so that implies that at least you'd be on your feet going from workspace to workspace... even if also mostly indoors - again, unless deployed that is!
MOS aside - anyone ion the Army spends plenty of time outside - there's always PT and field exercises!! :) Good luck!!

Actually, analyst is 35F. 35L is counter intelligence. They conduct investigations into matters of national security

COL John McClellan lol actually very people oriented. A lot of paperwork but also a lot of interviewing sources.

Sir, 35L - Counterintelligence Special Agent is most definitely not just a simple desk job. Yes, you could be writing a lot of reports and doing research; however, a good agent (especially one in operations or investigative roles) will be out in the field conducting liaison, cap, TARP, briefs, and interviews.
