K Johnson 3804372 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am looking for women and men in PSYOP who can shed some light on the life of a woman in PSYOP. I would like to find out how well women are utilized in this field and how well they like the field. I would also like to know what sort of roles women play in PSYOPS. A little about me, I&#39;m completing my officer packet now, taking an Intel certification course, learning French, I&#39;m 26 and very likely to score 100 on PT test and do very well on the ASVAB so I&#39;m hoping this slot is open. I hear PSYOP is slightly more tactical than CA (Civil Affairs) which I prefer, although as a woman I&#39;m not sure if I&#39;ll do anything tactical in my military career. (Please correct me if I&#39;m wrong, that&#39;s why I&#39;m posting). I do appreciate your time and willingness to share your stories. Thank you!

Women are utilized just as much as men. There may be additional opportunities available to you ( like Cultural Support Teams or CSTs), but otherwise, there really is no different. As an officer, you wouldn’t do as much on the tactical side as enlisted. The higher the rank you make, the less tactical/more planning you do. If you are reserves, you will support conventional army units. If you’re active, you will support SOF elements (ODA teams, MARSOC, SEALs, etc). You will enjoy being in PSYOP.

The regiment has both tactical and regional (operational/strategic) capabilities and as Soldier gains experience will work on both. S/he most be proficient on both types of missions.

Just wondering what’s your current progress with PSYOPS and how far along are you?
