Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence Specialist (Lateral Move Only)

You are a feeder-MOS Marine building a credible CI/HUMINT packet, not a case officer in a movie with a haircut.

You are a feeder-MOS Marine building a credible CI/HUMINT packet, not a case officer in a movie with a haircut. Your daily job is still your current MOS, so be good there first. Build fitness, conduct, clearance posture, writing skill, and command trust before you ask the lateral-move process to take you seriously. The brochure sells the rare mission; the gatekeepers read the record.

• 01Conduct screening, debriefing, liaison, and CI support inside approved authorities instead of making the job up in your head.
• 02Write CI/HUMINT reports with source handling, caveats, classification, and commander relevance visible.
• 03Build rapport without promising what you cannot deliver or pressing where the rules say stop.
• 04Protect sensitive identities, records, methods, and U.S.-person boundaries like your clearance depends on it, because it does.
• 05Keep deployability, driver eligibility, T5/SCI posture, polygraph readiness, and family readiness clean enough that the packet survives daylight.

• —MAGTF CI/HUMINT Course requirements understood before the Marine treats selection like assignment.
• —Reports separate observed facts, assessed meaning, source caveats, and collection gaps.
• —No unauthorized collection, retention, dissemination, or casual storytelling about sensitive activity.

• —Acting like a clever conversation is the same thing as authorized collection.
• —Writing reports that hide source limits, uncertainty, or who actually said what.
• —Ignoring intelligence oversight because the word "sensitive" made the room feel special.
• —Letting debt, foreign-contact reporting, conduct, or maturity problems poison the clearance package.

You are the Corporal trying to earn a CI/HUMINT seat without confusing curiosity with maturity.

You are the Corporal trying to earn a CI/HUMINT seat without confusing curiosity with maturity. You may be screening, on OJT, or preparing for the schoolhouse depending on where the lateral move sits. The work is current-MOS credibility, official prerequisites, supervised reps, and learning the standard without performing a costume version of the job. The community rewards control, humility, and clean paperwork more than noise.
