Is doing a BRADSO for Military Intelligence worthwhile?

2024-10-27T15:48:31-04:00

I am a Green to Gold cadet finalizing my branch preferences and preparing to commission at the end of the year. I’m seeking advice from current or former MI officers on whether they recommend taking a branch-added service obligation to secure MI. I understand that experiences vary based on individual goals, but I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice.

Additional Info: I’m prior service Infantry, and my top three choices are MI, MI BRADSO, and MI Branch Detail Infantry. My national OML is decent, and I’m a Distinguished Military Graduate.

Need to know two more details to answer this one:
1. You are DMG (top 20% of the OML) but will you make the top 10% of the OML?
2. Do you plan to get out after your minimum ADSO?
