Both have great things and bad things. Both serve the mission through their interaction with the population. And both lean heavily on each other.Response by SFC Casey O'Mally made May 17 at 2021 5:56 PM2021-05-17T17:56:05-04:002021-05-17T17:56:05-04:001SG Private RallyPoint Member6982282<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If want to become the subject matter expert on the culture of a giving population then join PSYOP. PSYOP does some civil affairs but CA only does civil affairs. PSYOP in my opinion is harder.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made May 17 at 2021 6:17 PM2021-05-17T18:17:42-04:002021-05-17T18:17:42-04:00CW2 Private RallyPoint Member6983652<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Talk to the recruiters at the SORB.
