And did he mean a spy or an intelligence officer. And remember that the more traditional army/navy types look down on intelligence.

- AndrewKemendo 8y agoI mean how nitpicky do we need to be here because spy isn't a real title. Just HUMINTers? Or are SIGINTers and GEOINTers also spies? Pick from the list: Paramilitary Operator, Non-Official Cover Agent, Clandestine Case Officer, Technical Operations Officer, Case Agent, Operations Officer, Desk Officer, Analyst, Imagery Analyst, Counterintelligence Officer, Field Officer, Military Intelligence Analyst, Linguist, Airborne Linguist, Reconnaissance Pilot etc...
- GreeniFi 8y agoThat’s quite an exciting list of job titles. Although follow the advice of the old fellow in the bar, who could quite well have served during the war: “never be a spy...”. That said there was a CIA job ad in the Economist a few months back, looking for “adventurers, travelers and entrepreneurs” (or similar). Far more romantic sounding than “full stack developer”...
- sverige 8y agoI knew a girl in college who interviewed with the CIA but didn't get the job. I was so happy then and even happier now, though I haven't seen her for over 30 years. She was very pretty, Irish, Catholic, so fit the mold for the CIA. They are vile people though. The paratrooper was right.
- HelloNurse 8y agoAsking for a "full stack son of a bitch" would be a bit too direct.
- make3 8y agothe paratrooper probably meant anything undercover, analyst should be fine. anything where your country can abandon you/deny you work for them, for the greater good.
- na85 8y ago>And remember that the more traditional army/navy types look down on intelligence. Those people are ignorant of the fundamental principles of modern warfare, then. I doubt very much anyone but some irrelevant dinosaurs are dismissive of intelligence and the decision superiority that it enables.
