Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone here has any experience working in Naval Intelligence (US Navy), especially from an Officer's perspective.
I want to know more about it because I'm thinking of going down that path after I'm commissioned. Since the chances of getting a restricted line officer job like NI right out of NROTC are very low, I'll probably serve a tour as Surface Warfare (my 2nd choice) then try to transfer. After some time in NI (how long depends on how much I like the Navy by then), I'll resign my commission and go work in FBI/CIA/LEO or any other civilian spot where my experience would be rewarded.
But I want to know more about NI itself. Like, what majors should I pursue in college, what different branches are there, what kind of duties you would regularly undertake, how easy it is to transfer into a civilian career, and what kind of civilian careers would fit well after NI.
