CTR vs IS

[Guest Brandon]

I DEPed in today as a CTR.  I was offered an IS rank, as well.  Can anyone tell me anything about what I would be doing with these jobs and how either of them transfers to civilian jobs?

Most information you'll find online about CTRs is very vague and for good reason. There are a few different routes you can go (signals analyst/reporting/afloat/air/subs) each with their own flavor. If you were selected to be a reporter (for example) you would be writing intelligence reports. In the civilian world, there are various organizations that also write intelligence reports. After a successful enlistment/career, you would have gained experience that would help make you a good candidate to a few different organizations that are a part of the intelligence community.
