I just see the word intelligence and special forces and dont wanna be behind a desk in my 20s
In the future, want to work for an agency in the intel community or security sector. At my university, I am pursuing a Master's degree. I have 15 free electives to study what I want. I can use them to earn a certificate from the university in Arab Studies (moderately interested in) OR I can self study Security Studies courses (which i'm more interested in), but no official graduate Security Certificate is offered by the university. All coursework would be reflected on my transcript. What would you recommend based on the value of credentials, if you were an employer in the security field, etc?
Please share to your networks: Election fraud wasn’t the Republicans and it wasn’t the Democrats. It is still happening, and it’s the Chinese - aiming to cause Americans to hate each other.
Heroes Behind Headlines: Breaking Story: CIA Whistleblower Reveals The Foreign Attack On Our Elections, 21 Oct 2024
Retired CIA Operative and government whistleblower Gary Berntsen reveals the results of a four-year investigation into election tampering. His team’s conclusion: Enemies of the United States including Venezuela, Cuba, China and Serbia have been determining the results of elections in the U.S. since 2006 through the use of electronic systems that they have developed. Using these systems, they now manipulate the results of elections in 72 countries around the world.
Gary Berntsen is arguably the most decorated CIA operations officer in modern times. He is the man who recruited and led the combined CIA-Special Forces teams that helped overthrow the Taliban after the attack of 9/11 and had Osama bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda fighters trapped in the Tora Bora mountains of Afghanistan. He also served as a CIA Station Chief in three counties; led the Hezbollah working group; investigated the East Africa embassy bombings in 1998; and stopped various terrorist attacks around the world.
Gary and his team are now going public with a criminal investigation that will shock the world. The evidence they have assembled is described in a new book by Ralph Pezzullo titled "Stolen Elections: The Plot to Destroy Global Democracy" published by Skyhorse Publishing.
Opening comments:
“We know how they do it. We know who does it. We have the names of all of their engineers, all of their employers.
We have photos of everybody. So we made an arrangement to meet with an FBI officer, a very senior FBI officer in Washington DC. We showed the whole thing and that officer was stunned.
When it was over, that officer who was a 20-year veteran said, Mr. Berntsen, you and your whistleblower partner, you need to flee the city because the moment the Bureau knows you're doing this, they will do whatever they can to destroy your investigation, to destroy your personal credibility. They will hunt you and try to ruin you. But the point is, in the end, they're all going to jail at some point.”

Questions about A School.
I found multiple relevant scholarship with years of work due,like the SMART scholarship etc But is there any one in which you can work for FBI afterwards? Instead of DoD/CIA?
I have recently been accepted to A&M's Bush School in DC for National Security & Intelligence. It costs $1300 per credit for 42 credits, so I'm looking at about $50k for the whole degree. Other comparable programs such as Georgetown or SAIS cost more than double. I currently only have $8k in undergraduate debt and $10k in savings, so I am in a pretty good spot. My undergraduate is in a language with a 3.90 GPA. I am dead set on working in the intelligence community. Do you think it would be worth it to take on more debt for this purpose? Given that my income would be at least $70k coming out and would qualify for PSLF after 10 years.
Another option for me would be to get intelligence experience in the army, but I am 27 and not sure if it would be a good idea to enlist at my age, and being that we're not explicitly at war right now (regardless of what may happen in the future), I don't know if much is happening in the enlisted MI jobs like 35M... OCS is another option and I think I would be competitive for the army, but you get less hands-on experience.
I just finished watching the series "Lioness". Now, I'm wondering: `Just how accurate is it?´
Hello! I am currently a sophomore studying Cybersecurity and Global Policy with a minor in Korean. I have extra room in my schedule and I can either start taking Russian (I really want to speak it and I go to a university that has one of the best programs in the country) or I can have a minor in Intelligence studies. I'm somewhat unsure on what to take but I will say a lot of the classes in the intelligence minor I already have to take for my major, so it is somewhat redundant. At the same time, if I start taking Russian, I will only be able to get to intermediate high level and will definitely not be fluent.
What do you think would make me stand out more and be more useful for a potential career?
If Trump wins, do they really have another choice but to develop their own nuclear weapon?
I’ve always been fascinated by the CIA and the work that goes on behind the scenes. For those who have worked there or are familiar with the agency, what is it really like to be part of such a secretive organization?
I’m particularly curious about any memorable experiences or accomplishments you can share (keeping in mind any necessary confidentiality, of course). What do you consider the biggest achievement or the most interesting story from your time there?
We always hear stories of Cold War Soviet spies in the US and the UK such as the Cambridge five and Karl Fuchs, but are there any major examples of US/UK/Western spies embedded into the USSR?
