Shame you listened to someone whomhad probably already signed off. Might have been the same person with with whom I conversed. I realised he was probably a shit soldier and operator and ignored him. Had a lovely time, probably all the better for you not joining!lol
I was actually tipped off that the job was shit by a corps member who was sent to 'hang arouind with' on the evening when i arrived at ashford night before the interview.

Look up dyslexic. This was (deliberately leaving out apostrophization) lol
I can see why they say what they say about army members like you ! You member !
and hey .. be nice !
Right now, yes, on the right track for Afghanistan, however, there are also roles to counter the insider threat. A lot of the roles that would have been done by a close support section, have been outsourced to contractors so the numbers of British military are kept low.What does the job entitle in say Afghanistan?
Is it basically manning the G2/J2 cell or does it sit separately?
Is it basically fusing together all the available Int (assuming Int Corps have access to Open Source, patrol reports, HUMINT, COMINT, SIGINT, etc etc) and coming up with deductions to supporting planning and ops?
Not looking for OPSEC but generally am I on the right track?

Your deductions are on the right track. But Afghanistan is now very much a NATO tour, which is clunky. There is a gravy train of contractors and snr officers, but the lads still do normal stuff, like you describe.
@shifty j2 ?So in a conventional type conflict am I likely to bump into them at S2 level or is G2 minimum?
At G2 level I assume around section strength?
they way to look at G2, S2, J2 isn't so much that each relates to a level- The G is generally for and int cell or department that looks exclusively at ground. J is for the joint environment, and S is more an American / NATO etc for Staff. In most places the lowest level you will see Int Corps is as part of an Infantry Company- usually one bloke, LCpl - Cpl.

For us, S is Bn Level, G is Bde level and J is abovethey way to look at G2, S2, J2 isn't so much that each relates to a level- The G is generally for and int cell or department that looks exclusively at ground.

I'm still here, lurking...Welcome back, rumours of your demise were obviously incorrect.
I’m now a senior NCO still in the infantry.. Could someone enlighten me on how moving to the Int Corps as a senior would affect promotion/jobs/postings etc?
You'd be competing for promotion against INT CORPS SNCOs instead of Inf.
Your available jobs and postings would be INT CORPS roles, instead of Inf.
Hope this helps
(if you've got more specific questions, that might help lol)
