Hey Landen! Great video, I also want to go military intelligence and this video gave me great insight on to lookout for in the future.

@learningwithlanden 2 месяца назад

That’s awesome! 2LT Curley was the perfect person to interview for that pursuance, so I’m glad you gained some insight. Teamwork in the VBO/TBB interviews is a genius strategy he provided and branch detailing is always an option if interested 👍

Hey Landen! I’ll be at CST this summer. I’ll be going with 5th reg!

@learningwithlanden 2 месяца назад

Epic! From what I've heard from some seniors, the 5th-7th Regs. are most ideal in terms of weather (your good ole' METT-TC conditions), so I hope it's good for you! Thank you for watching and Ad Meliora!

Send 2LT Curley your gratitude by spamming the comments with "Curley is the sponge" (inside joke, if you know what I mean ;)

@Olive-zg7tn Месяц назад

Great video! You should do interviews with people from each branch to see how the daily life is it could help ppl w picking branches and see what we relate to more

@learningwithlanden Месяц назад

@@Olive-zg7tn Great idea! Since I’m at CST now, I’m hoping to keep in contact with people in my PLT who branch differently and interview them. Appreciate it and Ad Meliora!

@hannibalthe1st565 Месяц назад

Should i do rotc or ocs? I already have a degree and would be going in for a masters in the smp program?

@learningwithlanden Месяц назад

OCS is 12 weeks and typically more rigorous than CST, where ROTC cadets go for 7 weeks before becoming officers upon graduation. Are you prior service? Most prefer ROTC for monetary benefits and generally easier life/Army balance while going through college (or in your case, a Masters program) I cannot say definitively which one will be better for you because I do not know the OCS path well and do not know your entire background and goals. Wishing you the best in your decision. Ad Meliora!

I didn’t know branch detailing was an option in the NG. I’ve only heard of it in AD. Another route, is one could possibly attend a Captains Career Course outside of their CMF, but stay within their same branch. There are also broadening and branch immaterial opportunities. It’s important to emphasize that a lot changes state to state. I’ve known Intel Officers that were assigned as the S2 with little to no PL time. This was due to manpower.

@@AMZ19252 Yes, the Guard being state-run means the variables state-to-state are vast. It’s hard to say without asking people familiar with the options in your preferred state. I didn’t know about attending the CCC outside of CMF and keep preferences -I’ll have to research that more. Good knowledge, thank you and Ad Meliora!

@AMZ19252 Месяц назад

@@learningwithlanden All valid points. Attending a different CCC without re-branching is popular in AD. Especially if there is an operative nexus. For this reason many non- 11 and 19 series attend MCCC, but many stay within their respective career field. It’s very helpful if an Engineer or Artillery Command within an IBCT to know how the BN and BDE functions. There are also the branch immaterial positions. In the NG this will vary but 11 series officers in my state held command and company level positions, but did not attend MCCC. There is usually a different “why” in all of these examples so like you said I don’t want to give a viewer the perception that this is always an option. Ultimately I tell newly commissioned officers just like in land navigation. Always have an alt route planned for your career.

@@AMZ19252Solid advice 🔥The Army provides options but each of us needs to arm ourselves with the necessary intel, ask questions, and make bold decisions to make the most out of our career Ad Meliora!
