  No shit, went through boot camp with this dufus who couldn't make his bed and was class clown. A real Gomer Pyle. At the end he gets selected for Intelligence because his IQ was up there. All freaking out when he found out the military background check meant talking to some of his neighbors.
context: All 3 working in Intelligence. Jesus.
  Edit: I'm so happy that when I deployed, cell phones were still considered contraband, but also we didn't need to burn our shit. >
  
  Yeah, this is the most concerning bit of information. They really should require more than a room-temperature IQ from individuals working in the field of intelligence. >
  
  They did. And they caught it during the background check when the idiot confessed to the crime and told the security clearance investigators he went with two friends. They subpoenaed his IG and found the other two and got all three of them. 
  Government did a fantastic job on this one. >
  
  ...they still were working in the intelligence field though. >
  
  Intelligence is just another job. If you don't do drugs and have no foreign contacts, plus, can analyze info, in theory you're no different than a business analyst or data analyst except now you have a security clearance. I've met some real idiots in intelligence who can crunch numbers but can't figure their way out of a wet paper bag. It's sad, but it's the truth.
