GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MARADMIN IS TO SOLICIT QUALIFIED MARINES TO EXECUTE A LATERAL MOVE OPTION INTO PRIMARY MOS 0211, COUNTERINTELLIGENCE/HUMAN INTELLIGENCE (CI/HUMINT) SPECIALIST. MARINES WHO MEET THE PREREQUISITES IDENTIFIED IN PARA (4) BELOW ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO APPLY.

3. WHILE MANY CI/HUMINT SKILLS CAN BE TAUGHT, THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SKILLED CI/HUMINT PROFESSIONAL REQUIRES OUTSTANDING INTERPERSONAL SKILLS THAT ENABLE SUCCESSFUL INTERACTION WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF PEOPLE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

5. INTERESTED MARINES SHOULD CONTACT THEIR CAREER PLANNER OR PRIOR SERVICE RECRUITER TO ENSURE THEY MEET THE PREREQUISITES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REFERENCES. MARINES MEETING THE PREREQUISITES SHOULD CONTACT THE NEAREST CI/HUMINT ELEMENT AND ARRANGE TO BEGIN THE ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS.
