Which Army MOS will I have time to do online college as a part time student?

Posted by  in Thursday, September 9th 2010   6 comments already   

I am considering 11B (with airborne) and 35M Human Intelligence Collector (and 35L Counterintelligence Agent when I have been in for 2 years since it is not an entry level job). If neither will allow me to do online college part time (2 courses maybe 3) then which MOS will? I am only going to be in the service for 4-5 years then when I have a degree (I may have to finish it after the Army) I would like to join the CIA, Secret Service, or FBI so I need an MOS that would be somewhat helpful for getting into them. I am not very good with computers (I can use them but not fix them) and don’t really have a desire to get an MOS like that.

Also, as a side note, I am not joining the Army to pay for college or to help me get a job. I have been wanting to serve in the service since I was 12 (17 now). And I will only need to do the Upper Division courses for my degree because I am going to college (a community college) this Fall and will go to college for 2 years then join the Army.

my husbands 11b and if they are just getting back from deployement you would get a few months to do a few classes otherwise if it is close to deployement they do not recommend taking classes because you can be in the field for 3 weeks at time during training exercises so you wouldnt be able to do your school work. but I know a guy that finished a whole year of school (24 credits) in 6 months right after he got back from deployment because they let him go to a community college after morning formation so he really didnt have to work during that time

I appreciate you wanting to get in, but that is not the reason to join.

You’ll need to get your priorities straightened out.

Definitely 35M, or anything in the 35/Intelligence field will give you a lot more “downtime” (or “desk time”) than 11B would.
