Counterintelligence (CI) Agent (35L): Learn and connect on RallyPoint

I am currently attempting to secure a Reserves 35L contract pending medical waiver. My recruiter recently contacted me saying that a unit close to me, despite having 10+ vacancies in this MOS, was "not accepting vacancy loads (exempt unit)" or something to that effect. Apparently this means that the...

Hi there! I currently am on my second deployment. Just reclassed out here and re-enlisted for another 6 years into 35L.

 

I have been trying to find things online of "What to expect" Or "What should I prepare for in advance?" I wanted to see if anyone here had any tips or advise, before I get back to...

Hi,
Department of the Army Pamphlet 611-21 states that a Soldier must be E5/SGT after training for accreditation as a CI Special Agent. IIRC this was written before CI was opened as an entry level MOS, but if it still applies wouldn't that mean that CISAC graduates must be promoted to E5 similar to h...

I am seriously considering taking a 35L (Counterintelligence Agent) contract, I have read a few other posts on this forum but I have some questions.

 

From what I’ve read their are 2 types of assignments you can expect, strategic and tactical. Is there a way to choose which one you get? One of the rec...

Prior service looking to get back in as 35L in the Reserves. Recruiters are giving me the runaround and either don't know much about the MOS or don't care.

 

-Can I directly re-enlist as a 35L in the reserves? Is there a packet? I was NG 11B and ETSd as an E4

 

-If so, I'm in the Ft Meade area and woul...

I’ve had a valid reservation (for about a month now) for CISAC with a report date of 11FEB21 and I haven’t gotten a welcome letter or anything. Can anyone that has gone to the course recently or if anyone that has gotten something tell me if I’m looking for nothing or if I am supposed to get a welco...

I'm trying to reclass to 35L. But I have have been told that the packet acceptance window is closed and won't be open until February for AD. I am not having to serve on a 12 month extension just to put in my packet. Does anybody know a way I can get around this? My unit is closing down and I really ...

I am approaching my ets date in November and want to reclass as a 35L, which is a packet MOS. My retention NCO said I need to update my EFMP file before I can reclass, as it expires sometime next year. I have all the paperwork turned in, but the civilians at EFMP said it could be until September bef...

Both my National Guard and USAR recruiters don't know whether its just because there aren't any openings or whether you can still directly enlist for 35L.

 

Note: the Army website says it is entry level.

I understand 35N is SIGINT and 35L is primarily HUMINT focused. I have heard that 35M is a feeder to 35L, that being said, I am weary of 35M civilian employment prospects especially as real world experience will be limited in the Guard. 35N, from what I've heard, provides very marketable skills, dir...

Trying to reclass to 35L but my parents are Korean citizens with permanent resident card living in US. They or myself have never been out of United States last 15 years. My wife is Japanese national currently waiting for her permanent resident card. It sounds like a long shot for me with all those f...

I was advised by my recruiter to pursue this option. However, I want a second opinion. My intention is to work in the Military Intelligence Corps in the reserves/NG, ideally as an Officer. I have already spent two years in Officer Training with RMA Sandhurst in the UK (It did not count as military s...

I'm 33, motivated but feeling inclined to change gears in my military career. Became interested in 35L. After speaking to the CA ANG, took the DLAB and went back to MEPS for my physical. Did well, everything looking great until I hit a wall.
My Father emigrated from Iran in the '70s and has bee...

Hello all. I completed a contract with the National Guard, graduated college with a B.S in CJ, and made E-5. I'm re-enlisting for the active Army with the goal of getting to CID or CI, but prior service cannot enlist directly into these fields. I will be up for promotion to E-6 before I am able to s...

I leave for 35L school soon and I am trying to study the reading material i was given. It’s hard to hold on to the information I’m reading. I’ve been in the Army as an 88M for 8 years now and really haven’t had to study or write due to it being more of a hands on job. I want to be successful in AIT ...

Hi everyone,

 

I spent 6 years in the Army National Guard as an 11B, eventually leaving as a SGT. Recently I've been considering going back into the NG or reserves as a 35L. However, one requirement that I see popping up in addition to TS/SCI eligibility is that your immediate family must be U.S. citi...

Hi. I enlisted for 35L counterintelligence job that requires a TS clearance. I disclosed to my recruiter that I got a ticket for not paying a train fare 7 years ago but I paid it off right away. It’s on the record now. I don’t know if I shouldn’t have said it to the recruiter but I didn’t know any b...

After taking the ASVAB today and scoring decently (76), my recruiter suggested that I look into the various intelligence MOS's. Now, I'm not interested in staring at maps all day or solely analysis but counterintelligence did stand out to me. You have to be 20 to enlist as CI and since I'm only 17 a...

Prior service Marine looking to go into the Army Reserves or National Guard. Does anyone know if the 35L job is still available to entry level and if there is a demand?

 

I’ve been in contact with multiple recruiters and they have no solid answers, in fact, the Army Reserve recruiters claim that they...

I am a current drilling reservist who is very interested in transitioning to Active Duty as a 35L once I finish my degree. I have a few friends who have transitioned to other Active Duty MOS via Conditional Release, but considering 35L is an application process how would that work? Is it even possible?

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 fuful...
