Ever considered a transfer to Int Corps (V)?
Calling all TA personnel...
Int Corps (V) has expanded significantly under FAS TA. Due to this increase in our establishment, 3 MI Bn (V) now has a number of vacancies available for transferees (especially for SNCOs).
We will accept any TA SNCO who wishes to transfer into 3 MI Bn (V), subject to passing an interview but without the need to pass Int Corps (V) Technical Selection. The only condition is that you must pass the two-week OPMI 3 (V) course.
Via the various OPMI trade courses, you will be taught how to collate, interpret, evaluate and analyse information and produce valuable intelligence assessments, both written and oral, in a timely manner. You will also learn about the various intelligence collection units and organisations and their capabilities. In addition, we will teach you the basics of counter intelligence, such as conducting protective security inspections and investigations. Finally, options for further, specialist, training also exist in the areas of Psychological Operations and Imagery Intelligence.
Our Unit considers man-management as a priority. Not only will we ensure that your TA career is managed efficiently but we will also train and develop you to manage your subordinates' careers too. This is an essential part of your whole-life development and will benefit you in your civilian employment. Numerous opportunities are available for FTRS and mobilisation for those interested.
We are particularly short of SNCO Mil Skills instructors and would be very keen to hear from anyone with these qualifications. We also have some E2 posts on our establishment for Mil Skills instructors. Therefore, if you're interested in spending a couple of years with Int Corps (V) but don't want to transfer, we would still like to hear from you.
We encourage JNCOs to transfer as well, however, you will be expected to pass Int Corps (V) Technical Selection.
Edited for spoolling mistakes pointed out by OOTS.

Stop that. Stop that now. Inter-Bn rivalry (as opposed to the usual slagging) is the preserve of wasters who haven't noticed how thin on the ground we are these days. (And some COs. Allegedly. And they should know better too.) It does nothing more than put barriers up to stop soldiers moving around as they need to do from time to time.

AHP - you didn't need to include the word I have highlighted. Originally Posted by AlabamaHotPocketer Being in 3MI's Training Wing, you must know about this already?

It is as if they are merely fulfilling some longstanding obligation to maintain their bulk.

Lol, actually.

1. Age Limits?
2. What Mil Skills?
And for my own personal curiosity , why aren't they required to pass tech selection? I thought that was about aptitude for the job?He had bought a large map representing the sea,
Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
A map they could all understand.

If they had some sort of succession policy instead of a single minded obsession with just recruiting, mobilising then blowing off JNCOS there might be people left.
