crypto linguist is badass man.. I just got cleared from MEPS yesterday and enlisted as a 35N, SIGINT. Looking forward to AIT and learning about things no one else gets to see.
Thanks for answering my question man! (Luxury in the military, TV etc.) really great when a RUclipsr is so in touch with their viewers! Keep up the good work man!
My father was a Russian language during the Cold War. I remember him telling me when he was stationed in Juneau Alaska that the Russians but flyover and laugh and say “Stupid Americans clothesthen my father left and pies and said “I hear you “then they would laugh. My father spoke fluent Russian that off until he died at the age of 71. He loves being a Russian language. You love this so much that he gave me a Russian name Tatiana. Thanks for the wonderful video.
I fucked up chasing a good score on the ASVAB for Intelligence knowing I wasn't that bright and I only went for MI because I thought they were the special forces types from watching fucking movies. The whole time I scored Infantry and thought they were the ones who didn't really fight like the SF guys. Boy was I fucking wrong. Infantry was always the best route to the spec-ops and to James Bond type intelligence.
He may not have scored high enough on the dlab Russian is a level 3 language while Arabic. Chinese and Korean are level 4 maybe he didn’t score high enough to learn Arabic
@Channel well idk anything about that, Im just going for the same position he was in and my recruiter said "you could get out and go work in DC", just as a general statement, but I know he doesn't usually work with putting people into intel so
Thanks for answering my question (min 5:50). Looking forward to the video about your injuries. I come from a military family and have nothing but respect for those who are and have served. Thank you Chase!
Hey Chase! Looking forward to a vid about why you left the army! I think it would be really cool if you talked about your hip injury/surgery and how you were able to bounce back from it/if it still impacts you now? I just had reconstructive surgery on my foot and, let's be honest, it freakin sucks (as does any type of surgery that impacts your ability to move, train, and simply do things on your own). It's really easy to get negative and down on yourself. Quite possibly just as much of a mental challenge as it is physical. Maybe you've already talked about this in a previous vid, but I'm new to the channel :) I admire your positivity, very inspiring to see where you're at now!
Emily Lutz definitely coming soon! And hope you have a speedy recovery - take your time and accept this time of healing. You'll be back in the swing of things soon enough!
Btw for those interested in MI, your parents have to be U.S citizens in order for you to be eligible for intell and that top security clearance! I just found out and have to wait up to yr now to enlist😧😧😧
I know this is about a year late, so I hope you see it. First off, I found your video incredibly interesting and informative. Second, I have been looking into the military; what branch, what job, ect, ect. In particular, I am looking at joining the Air Force or the Army. You mentioned you considered all the branches, I was wondering if you have any insight towards how either of them (Air Force or Army) select your MOS? The army recruiter was very informative and pleasant to talk to, but there is the whole "recruiters lie" idea stuck in my head at the moment and I have gotten 3 different answers regarding how the Air Force selects your MOS (from the AF advisers and from an AF recruiter). Thank you very much for your time and I hope all is well with your RUclips channel and retirement.
Is there a way to contact you? I would like to be a linguist and I have a lot of questions. I am bilingual in Spanish and English. Neither language is considered difficult but I have some familiarity with Japanese as I lived in Japan as a kid. I can recognize the language by the mixture of sounds and the writing but I will not understand it. However, I think I would be good at learning a language. I just a lot of questions and rather have my answers by someone who actually knows the answers. Thanks
The Army is the largest and generally always has the most opportunities than the other services. You may find them in the others, but not as likely to. This was what happened to me as well.
Hey Chase, I'm a junior in high school and my recruiter just told me that the period for juniors to enlist will open next week and one of my top MOS is 35M (human intel collector) but there isn't much online about it. Being that you were a cryptologic linguist I wanted to know if there was anything at all that you could tell me about 35M. Thanks
I'm going to be joining. Already talking to a recruiter. But I'm shooting for 35P, I already know Portuguese fluently hoping to go in with another language though. The more languages you know the better is what I've heard. I haven't taken the ASVAB or DLAB yet, so this could all change. But that's what I'm going for.
Hey Chase, I'm about to enlist, just got done at MEPS and will be doing my job interview soon (Have to wait longer for a waiver for being slightly allergic to pineapple), and I was thinking MI 35M. Did you get opportunities to go so airborne ans rangee? Cause that is what I want to do very very badly. And do you know if their mission would change? Would they be able to kick ass with the infantry grunts too?
You can opt-in for any school you want, just a matter of getting cleared by your command. And in the MI world their are two realms; strategic and tactical. If you want the "kick ass" one then you should look for a tactical MI assignment, though not always a given. Based off of the needs of the Army and your MOS, rank, etc. Stay safe!
Are you still serving in a civilian capacity? I’m just wondering how many doors your MOS opened for you out in the world. By the way-thank you for your service and I subscribed!
Thank you for your service. I'm a teacher that has been assigned a class "Itro to US Intelligence and Foreign Policy." I would appreciat any resources you could recommend so I can build lessons. Thanks
I qualified for Intel with my ASVAB and DLAB scores but the Marine Corps doesn't have a slot open right now. Do you think that being a linguist in Intelligence is something that I should look elsewhere for (Army, Navy, etc.) or could I use my scores on another MOS that will create just as good of opportunities for me? Thanks
Depends on what you really want, but I've heard from the Navy guys that their linguists get a lot more time doing their actual MOS than other branches. But then you'd be in the Navy and I'd have to make fun of you. For the Army, your mileage may vary. Like he pointed out, it really depends on what kind of units you are put into.
Do a lot of people learn Russian? Is it possible to learn a second language? Also you said you worked with Canadians, Do Canadians also have the same sort of school? I am Canadian and trying to enlist as a possible Linguist.
Maybe this has already been asked, but since you’ve been out, did you take a civilian job that related to your job in the Army or are you doing something completely different? I’m looking into this career because I would like to end up working for the FBI one day to help fight against human trafficking and you mentioned that you had some experience in doing that while in the Army. Thanks and thank you for you service sir!
You are not war afflicted, take your short nerd ass and watch harry potter. Why would you ever seek to go to military, I am getting harrassed by Narc aliens and demons that want me dead...
I wanted to be a 35P, but I missed the minimum DLAB score of 107 by 3 points. Now, I'm looking towards 35M as an alternative since the Army is returning to having the requirement of learning a language for that MOS (according to my recruiter). Would you say your DLAB score ultimately determines your language assigned at DLI? I've read around forums online that even if someone scored lower than the Cat. IV minimum, they were still assigned something like Mandarin
I am hoping you will see this even though I am late. I am currently a 68W and am interested in reclassing to Intel. I know it varies but were reclassed soldiers common or do they tend to pull more new recruits? Any advice?
Do you have time for your significant other? My bf’s mos is counter intelligence and he’s currently at pi boot camp. We love each other but I’m afraid his mos will take over his life :/ thoughts and advice
It will be hard work, the military has its own agenda for sure. BUT - they are very, very pro-family and have a lot of systems and programs for people to be together or at least stay in communication and stay safe no matter where you both are.
Great video with great sights! I went through the fire academy at Goodfellow in 1996. I'd love to attend DLI. How often do you use the Russian language these days? Don't lose it!
Chase, does the military branch consider you more if you have a your degree in the specific field like Special Intelligence Analyst? I'm asking because that's what I'm going to major in. What was your score on the asvab?
Is there any way to prepare for the DLAB? I am going into the reserves as a 37f, have about three years of college under my belt so got a high score on the asvab pretty easily, but I feel like the language test is a whole different animal.. Plus, like you said, I do NOT want to be re-classed into something else! Thanks for the video!
I was able to score just enough on the DLAB, I got a 98 when the minimum score required was a 95, and chose 35M, military intelligence collector, for my MOS. I leave on February 1st for my basic training at Fort Sill. Any other 35M here that can give me some insight on their experience? Or any tips before I go?
@@monicasalinas3348 Hi, don’t know if you’ve taken the DLAB yet or not, but I recommend understanding english grammar and syntax very very well. And practice listening and PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Minor details matter
I’m currently in the army now and want to switch to a 35 series. What 35 series would you see the coolest shit and do the coolest stuff my buddy’s a 35F and he never does anything cool currently my mos has too high of points and is boring so I wanna do something cool
I know this is an older video so I hope you still get this comment. First of all, thank you so much for your service. I’m a prior service Marine myself. 1371 Combat Engineer. I’m wondering if you can help me out a little bit. I’m considering re-enlisting into the Marine Corps with a lat move to the Intelligence field. I’ve already checked and I have the ASVAB scores to do so. What I would like to know is, what career opportunities are realistically there after life in Military Intelligence? Is this re-enlistment a potential stepping stone to a long and fruitful career or would I likely be looking at retiring from the military in order to find a good paying job. Thanks in advance and God Bless!
Remember, do your part to make sure the eagle never flies away from the Presidio! And...the stories about that T-34 used to be up by the Russian school. Hormones will get the better of you if you're not careful.
How did they teach you Russian? I doubt they said "here's your Rosetta stone login, goodluck" Was it just a lot of classroom type stuff and speaking to people who are fluent?
Hey Chase, what language do you wish you had been assigned if you could do it all over again? I heard they may give you one of your top 3, so wondering which I should pick and in what order! Thanks!
Is it possible to learn other languages other than the major ones such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian, etc...do you know anyone who has ever learned Thai?
How high would you say the stress level for this job was? I'm interested in this MOS because nothing else really is interesting me. However, it seems very intimidating to get into.
not at all, I still had my GI Bill/Post-9/11 Bill, VA Home Loan, etc. In fact, I had more medical and financial benefits due to the nature of my injury rating and being medically retired
I just Enlisted as a 35P in the PA Army National Guard They put me in Russian too! Going to DLI in about September or October Is there anything that you can pass down to me to know from your experience
Ok so I'm leaving for bmt march 27 and I signed up as a ground linguist. After i'm done at the DLI I go back to goodfellow AFB for some more training, when exactly do I go through the SC? What makes it so difficult to pass, what type of things would disqualify someone? I've done my research but it's always good to know from folks who already went through the process. Thanks for the reply!
Interesting! I was a 96B Intel Analyst (no language training ) eventually met some linguists but they didnt work in a SCIF. cant say what they did but i was so jealous that they never wore BDU's and boots, except for occasional photo or dress uniform inspections.
i’m a 35F which is the new mos code for 96B, we’re pretty much ina SCIF most of the time. If your unit has an active mission you’ll have some interesting stuff to do and a bit of fun. I plan to go 35L after this contract or finish college and try to apply for fed agencies.
intel military people are always like "i can't tell you what i did, it's a secret" but then post comments like "hoorah i was a 1n351 35p. yup. secret squirrel. technically Top Secret/SI. that means i had a lie detector test done. can't tell you what i did at the css (which is the equivalent to the NSA) but i can say it gave me some serious ptsd. i don't know what infosec or opsec is. here's my dd214 and my ssn".
Hi Chase, I am currently a civilian getting my MA in International Relations. I hope to work for one of the intelligence agencies or a private sector company as an intelligence analyst. Any tips on getting an entry level job in the intelligence field with no prior experience?
Bean7992 personally, I'd recommend join either the active duty or reserves/National Guard and go into one of the intel fields. The military will sponsor you for your TS Clearance and likely the SCI on top of that. That training and experience on your resume will look great
@@NasMCsmelly thanks that actually helped a lot to clear up. So when he said he was going through pre deployment training and tore his hamstring and hurt his back I assume he was doing infantry training or something like that?
@@samcohen8894 Tactical intelligence primarily focuses on supporting whatever infantry unit they're attached to. Rangers, SOF, airborne/air assault or just infantry in nature. They'll definitely push you physically, deployed or by FTX. Either or, you'll come out hurting haha. Some of my buddies are going tactical, others strategic.
@@samcohen8894 It's always good to do both, that's one really good way to build a career within or outside of the military. Though if it'll be your first duty station you wont have much say what unit you'd like to be placed into. You can have a state/country wishlist though nothing more specific than that.
So good ,But i Think that The Best Thing in Intelligence is To Read The people mind and Activities and the Whole Situation, you Know well About the Future That What will be Happening Next ,Its Only do by Those people Who have GOD Help.
crypto linguist is badass man.. I just got cleared from MEPS yesterday and enlisted as a 35N, SIGINT. Looking forward to AIT and learning about things no one else gets to see.
You'll like being a 35N. You can do some cool things :)
I was torn between 35P and 35N.. I'll sign my Nov contract tomorrow
A. Brantley what did you pick?
@@0wnageclan I ended up signing the 35N contract because it had an Option 40(Ranger) on the 5 year deal

You went in in 03 and they gave you Russian over Arabic? You must have some good karma man.
Seriously!
I scored a 68 on the DLAB so I didn't qualify

Wouldn't your intelligence background help you to get a job in any federal agencies? If so, why are you not interested in it? Great video!!
Daniel Albert CIA, NSA, or more than likely DIA or an analyst for the FBI.
He probably is in it, and wouldn’t be able to tell ya

Sims B yes all your teachers are native speakers, its broken down into 7 hours a day... audio, reading, area studies, stuff like that
What happens if you are already multilingual? Is the point to see how fast you adapt to a new language or to be as fluent as possible?
They would love to have you! Just have to pass the DLAB language test.
How did you like Texas?? Born and raised here for almost 30 years.
Hey Chase, what language do you wish you had been assigned if you could do it all over again? I heard they may give you one of your top 3, so wondering which I should pick and in what order! Thanks!
Would have loved to have gotten Persian Farsi since my wife is Iranian
i’m a 35P who shipped out of roanoke too!
Is there anyway to study for the DLAB? If it’s a bunch of made up noises and languages i don’t really know how to study for that.
There may be now, but when I took it I had no prep material.
Its purdy coool!
YoungFitness89 Snapchat awareness?!
Chase Chewning just did what you asked 😂
I am going into SIGINT is there anything i should study before going?
just go into it with an open mind, show up and shut up! They will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know, good luck to you!
Hey Chase I am thinking about becoming a linguist in the army, I know I am pretty much guaranteed to get shipped overseas so how safe is it as a 35P?
Nothing is a guarantee
Is logistical closely related to counter intelligence? Thank you for your video and answering question.
So when you were stationed at Lackland AFB were you assigned to Field Station Medina as a linguist?
Is it possible to learn other languages other than the major ones such as Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian, etc...do you know anyone who has ever learned Thai?
I do, yes. And they assign you a language based upon your language aptitude test results (DLAB) and current linguist needs of the military.
do you get to pick your language at dli? I want to learn portuguese, do you think I can have a choice in the say of what I learn.
Diamond Beatz no
Diamond Beatz you won’t get Portuguese
Diamond Beatz I’ve been at DLI taking Russian for 3 months now, so if you need anything I can help you out :)
@@joeprentice5019 Don't forget that there's an online site where you can study for free.
my buddy is in boot rn for the corps and his mos is intelligence and when i get in ill be ground ordnance
How high would you say the stress level for this job was? I'm interested in this MOS because nothing else really is interesting me. However, it seems very intimidating to get into.
every job in the military has a high stress level, haha - but this one was very demanding, especially the year of language training.
Is this an mos that can possibly see combat?
Does being medically discharged from the military remove any veteran benefits? Such as the GI Bill, VA loans, etc
not at all, I still had my GI Bill/Post-9/11 Bill, VA Home Loan, etc. In fact, I had more medical and financial benefits due to the nature of my injury rating and being medically retired
I just Enlisted as a 35P in the PA Army National Guard
They put me in Russian too! Going to DLI in about September or October
Is there anything that you can pass down to me to know from your experience
study study study! Do not be afraid to ask for help early.
How's the Security Clearance process like? Is it easy to pass or not?
Very long and not easy to pass
Ok so I'm leaving for bmt march 27 and I signed up as a ground linguist. After i'm done at the DLI I go back to goodfellow AFB for some more training, when exactly do I go through the SC? What makes it so difficult to pass, what type of things would disqualify someone? I've done my research but it's always good to know from folks who already went through the process. Thanks for the reply!
Interesting! I was a 96B Intel Analyst (no language training ) eventually met some linguists but they didnt work in a SCIF. cant say what they did but i was so jealous that they never wore BDU's and boots, except for occasional photo or dress uniform inspections.
Nice avatar. I just came back from a 5-year-tour in Wiesbaden (DoD civvie, not military)
Sounds more like counter intelligence.
i’m a 35F which is the new mos code for 96B, we’re pretty much ina SCIF most of the time. If your unit has an active mission you’ll have some interesting stuff to do and a bit of fun. I plan to go 35L after this contract or finish college and try to apply for fed agencies.
Only here because his brother is Maxx Chewning #EverForward
I swore in last week and locked in 35S, any good?
salute to you for your service, but your video became very confusing when you said intelligence and Canadian in the same sentence.
lawlz
did you ever serve in ROK? i was 97B there from 01-04.
intel military people are always like "i can't tell you what i did, it's a secret" but then post comments like "hoorah i was a 1n351 35p. yup. secret squirrel. technically Top Secret/SI. that means i had a lie detector test done. can't tell you what i did at the css (which is the equivalent to the NSA) but i can say it gave me some serious ptsd. i don't know what infosec or opsec is. here's my dd214 and my ssn".
when at monterey did you train with canadians also have you trained at pendelton
Not in Monterey, when I was TDY overseas. Also while stationed in San Antonio, TX. Never at Pendelton.
I almost joined the marines when I was 19 but .....I even went to the recruiting office.
I know this may sound dumb but how hard is it actually learning a new language compared to the intimidation that you feel in your head
I'm going to be 35m and I scored a 112 on DLAB. did you ever find out what you actually scored? 126 sounds hella impressive.
Hi Chase,
I am currently a civilian getting my MA in International Relations. I hope to work for one of the intelligence agencies or a private sector company as an intelligence analyst. Any tips on getting an entry level job in the intelligence field with no prior experience?
Bean7992
personally, I'd recommend join either the active duty or reserves/National Guard and go into one of the intel fields.
The military will sponsor you for your TS Clearance and likely the SCI on top of that.
That training and experience on your resume will look great
Do you sign your contract before you know what language you learn?
Yep!
What exactly does a tactical intelligence unit do? I'm kind of confused on that
Higher rates of deployment. You'll do more on the field work, usually supporting directly or indirectly. Depends on the unit and the unit's mission.
@@NasMCsmelly thanks that actually helped a lot to clear up. So when he said he was going through pre deployment training and tore his hamstring and hurt his back I assume he was doing infantry training or something like that?
@@samcohen8894 Tactical intelligence primarily focuses on supporting whatever infantry unit they're attached to. Rangers, SOF, airborne/air assault or just infantry in nature. They'll definitely push you physically, deployed or by FTX. Either or, you'll come out hurting haha. Some of my buddies are going tactical, others strategic.
@@NasMCsmelly well I actually want to try both if I'm ever able to but I think I'll want to do tactical first
@@samcohen8894 It's always good to do both, that's one really good way to build a career within or outside of the military. Though if it'll be your first duty station you wont have much say what unit you'd like to be placed into. You can have a state/country wishlist though nothing more specific than that.
Headed to meps tommorow going for 35m with airborne
heads up, brotha!
So good ,But i Think that The Best Thing in Intelligence is To Read The people mind and Activities and the Whole Situation, you Know well About the Future That What will be Happening Next ,Its Only do by Those people Who have GOD Help.
