Hello,
I'm interested in joining the intelligence branch of the armed forces and was wandering how these two units compare and if anyone has served in either or worked with the army's int corps?
I've been on arrse and found one thread comparing the two and you can imagine how that went, but I've been a lurker on here for a while and thought I might pose this question on here even though it could potentially be biased I've found the people on this forum a lot more open minded and a bit more civilian friendly![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I'm currently studying at university, finishing my degree in mathematics, and have been to visit my local AFCO and have had chats with both the Army and the RAF but I haven’t been told much other than given a leaflet with a few tidbits of information on about both trades, as well as visiting their respected websites.
I'd appreciate any advice or anything you can tell me about the intelligence trade and also as I've said above if you could possibly compare the two (not who is better than who obviously!) but just how they differ.
From what I've gathered the IA's of the RAF are more focused on IMINT, and the Army is more focused on HUMINT? But other than that I can't seem to come by any other info, despite lengthy searches on google and other forums etc.
Thank you for reading![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
