I know I want to go into a language-dependent MOS but I'm torn between these two. I like the descriptions I've read of both but I don't know which one is better for me. Advice?

I am biased, but a career as a 35P will be both challenging - mentally and physically - and rewarding - professionally and personally.

Is 35P or 35M a better MOS for post-Army career opportunities with Intelligence Agencies and/or...

I am thinking about enlisting in the Army as either a 35P or 35M. I have been interested in Military Intelligence and the IC since I was young, and it is my ultimate goal to work in that field for an agency one day.

What are the best 35 Series MOSs for a possible career in the Intelligence Field? | RallyPoint

I am currently in the IRR and I am looking to enlist into the NG or AR while I pursue my Bachelor's. I am hoping to get into the Intelligence Field and would like to pick and MOS that provide a solid foundation. I initially looked at 35F simply for the TS however I am not sure it would be most fufulling. What recommendations do you 35 Series guys have? I have considered 35M and 35L as well. My ASVAB scores are decent enough.

Thanks but I was fishing for any new information, I've already read through those posts and they haven't helped much in trying to make a decision.
