CA is probably the coolest and most gratyfing job I have had in the Army, hands down.

[TheJasonDR]

@JoshMorrow why

[MarmarAkaSeiryu]

@JoshMorrow do you have to be an officer to apply?

[TitaniumOreo]

@MarmarAkaSeiryu No, there are positions in civil affairs for both officers and enlisted

[zionfarm]

@MarmarAkaSeiryu No enlisted members are GO

[recordscratch81]

these guys are part of special operations and do lots of support and missions with ODAs. they go to a lot of places you don't hear about and work to regionally align nations with the US strategic goals. it's a high visibility job in low visibility environments these guys typically take orders from generals and embassy officials. probably one of the best jobs in the army and very few people know about

[steezyc69]

[sarahcrabb01]
