With increasing joint operations, a greater pool of applicants from other military branch services (Navy, Air Force and Marines) exists. Those who can demonstrate their qualifications may apply for 352S on a will-train basis. Other military branch services' applicants must come from a military intelligence (MI) Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) with similar duties and skill set as outlined above. Applicants must demonstrate their qualifications through hard copies of document experience (e.g., awards, certificates and performance evaluations).

Due to the large number of qualified applicants under 12 years Active Service (AS) for 352S, the Military Intelligence Proponent is discouraging applicants over 12 years AS from applying at this time.
