Intelligence Officer
Hi Holly,
As an OPMI or an OPTI you will have an exiting and varied career. As an OPMI you can expect to work in a number of specialisms, Including, but not limited to, Counter Intelligence, Human Intelligence and Operational Intelligence. You can expect to work at all levels of the command structure, from infantry companies all the way up to providing support at an operational level.
As an OPTI your career will be spent mainly in the Signals Intelligence field. You may also have opportunities to specialise in languages and cyber. You will work closely with EW operators of the Royal Signals as an OPTI.
If you are wanting to do the linguist role, you will need to be a OPTI in order to do the role.
Both roles are highly deployable and you can expect to either go on or support operations in your first few years of service. If are looking to get away, then either of these roles is a good fit for you.
I hope this helps!
Paul
