I'M LANCE CORPORAL GARRETT GILLESPIE, WITH YOUR MARINE MINUTE,

THE MARINE CORPS PROVIDES COUNTLESS OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN NEW SKILLS AND ABILITIES. AND HERE’S ONE OPPORTUNITY THAT HAS COME-A-KNOCKIN.

THE COUNTER-INTEL CAREER FIELD (0211) IS CURRENTLY UNDER A MANPOWER SHORTAGE AND IS SEEKING QUALIFIED MARINES TO LAT-MOVE INTO THIS SPECIALIZED MOS.

0211’S [OH-TWO-ELEVEN’S] PERFORM SENSITIVE AND COMPLEX INTEL OPERATIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE MAGTF’S [MAG-TAF’S] IN BOTH GARRISON AND DEPLOYED ENVIRONMENTS.

THEY IDENTIFY THREATS POSED BY HOSTILE ORGANIZATIONS AND PERSONS ENGAGED IN ESPIONAGE, SABOTAGE AND TERRORISM. COUNTER-INTEL ALSO GATHERS INFORMATION THROUGH METHODS SUCH AS INTERROGATION.
MARINES SEEKING TO LAT-MOVE MUST POSSESS CERTAIN QUALITIES: OUTSTANDING COMMUNICATION SKILLS, INTELLECT, FLEXIBILITY, CREATIVITY, DIVERSE CULTURAL EXPERIENCE, AND ABOVE ALL A DEPTH OF CHARACTER, MORALITY AND MATURITY.

COUNTER-INTEL MARINES RECEIVE EXTENSIVE TRAINING TO INCLUDE “SERE SCHOOL”, AIRBORNE TRAINING, LANGUAGE COURSES AND MANY OTHER ADVANCED COURSES HOSTED BY THE MARINE CORPS.
