The HARD PART for folks with weak people skills is once the students diverge from what they were instructed to do and go off the reservation it's GAME ON for the role players if they so choose. So long as you stay within the limits of what you are expected to display your competency on the live scenario role players will absolutely stay in the bounds of the scenario per their rules of engagement. Now, always remember, it's the military, whatever they are testing you on (live scenario or not) they have left and right limits.

That's where it's going to be "hard" if it were hard, but hey, if you were a 20 year veteran cop it would be a piece of cake (like it was for me to sleep walk through 35F school).

You are being tested on your poise, your interaction with suspects/witnesses, and there is thinking on your feet based on the fluid nature of the role players. You're not always being tested on multiple choice questions. So there are mind games being played, and this is where folks screw up. They have live scenarios (much like a police academy I graduated). Class peers were teenagers that just graduated high school and were struggling with typing speed and desk top office software.ģ5M and 35L are among the more MENTAL MOS's out there (as observed from my unit peers in an MI BN). I have academic writing down pat, and PowerPoint presentations as part of my life all before I even thought of the military. Supervises the analysis and dissemination of strategic and tactical intelligence from all intelligence disciplines analyzes current intelligence to identify intelligence gaps and subsequent intelligence collection requirements supervises intelligence operations within the Brigade provides indicators and current situation briefings to subordin. I was a 35F, and it was the easiest job I've ever had in my entire life. You as an infantryman have the physical part knocked out. I generally think there are three classifications of "HARD" in the military.ġ) Physical - this ranges from Basic Training Hard all the way to SF selection hard.Ģ) Technical/Academic - this ranges from Food Prep all the way to Turbine Engine Repair.ģ) Mental - this ranges from HR specialist all the way to criminal investigations. If you fail, chances are they will make you a 35F.
