I'm a 1N2A I love the technical aspect of my job, there is an operational path we can take also. I personally think we are probably one of the most versatile of the 1Ns, but that's probably my bias talking. If you're looking for opportunities outside the force we have a good market in that too, just have to build your network. Just know that 1N2As are a very small AFSC and we get lumped with the 1N2Cs for promotions etc, but our manning is separated as the AF knows they don't need a lot of us but they definitely need us. Another good point is we will probably never be listed for force shaping or being critically manned. If you have any other questions find me on global.

I retained into Intelligence as an all source analysts back in 2005 and did it for 6 years. It was the best time. The down side is a lot of briefings that you will have to give and lots of research. But it is awesome because you learn something new everyday.
