Hello. I’m interested in 35L and got some good information here from other people about the daily life of a 35L. Can anyone in here give me information on how hard 35L school is? What should I be expecting during this school phase? I’m really interested in this MOS because of the different paths that it can provide. I’m not the best at writing essays so I don’t if that’s going to be a issue or not. Any information about 35L school would be greatly appreciate. Thank you!

Be prepared for NO-GOs. You will type more than you ever have. It’s like learning a new language, match the style of that language and you are good to go. Don’t argue with the cadre about the writing style, even if you have a degree in English it’s a different writing style. Don’t make things up, it’s not fictional writing. Pay attention to the instructors and ask questions. Don’t let others distract you from your assignments. It’s not an easy course, but if you are committed you will make it to graduation.

Be prepared to be on hold once you get there for 1-3 months if you are enlisting for the first time. Hopefully by that time they’ve got it sorted out where IET has permanent slots. In the three classes I saw start while I was at huachuca they start off with 40-60 in a class and lose about 20 throughout the cycle. Some fail out and some are NG that just went for the clearance, dropped the course and went back home to work a Dod Intel related job. Other than this, my friends who made it through the course said it was definitely challenging but as long as you pay attention and do what you came there to do then you can make it through. Also, like someone else said already, report writing has nothing to do with English or everyday writing...
