Reading through the posts, it seems like most aviators and flight officers look down on intel officers. Wonder if this is true throughout the fleet. Of course I'm just basing my ovservations on the posts that people right.
Example:
Looking over at the other thread in the Cryptologist section, it looked like Cryppie/Intel bashing day. Myself, I have SWO listed as #1 on my application (I already know all the bashing that SWO's get from aviators/FO and vice versa, so it might be just a natural rivalry with the bashing of intel and cryppies) but after reading all the posts of too many SWO JO's, I might have to consider my 2nd choice of Intel or 3rd of Supply.
Anyways, I was just curious. Wanted to know if Intel Officers were just looked down upon here or everywhere in the Navy.
Example:
For the most part, they just regurgitate info they find on the SIPRnet and provide no original analysis or insight. All the real work is done by the guys who work at the three letter agencies...Anyone can deliver a brief to anyone else. That doesn't make the briefer quallified, brilliant or original. I don't know of any CO who would chose to seek the advice of his Intel guy...
