b. Physical demands rating and qualifications for initial award of MOS.
Signals intelligence analysts must possess the following qualifications:
(1) A physical demands rating of moderate (Gold).
(2) A physical profile of 222221.
(3) Normal color vision.
(4) Qualifying scores.
(a)
A minimum score of 116 in aptitude area ST in Armed Services Vocational aptitude Battery (ASVAB) tests administered prior to 2 January 2002.
(b)
A minimum score of 112 in aptitude area ST on ASVAB tests administered on and after 2 January 2002.
(c)
A minimum OPAT score of: Long Jump (LJ) – 120 cm, seated Power Throw (PT) – 350 cm, Strength Deadlift (SD) – 120 lbs., and Interval Aerobic Run (IR) – 36 shuttles in Physical Demands Category “Moderate” (Gold).
(5) The Soldier must meet TOP SECRET (TS) Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access eligibility requirements to be awarded this MOS.
The clearance requirements to attend training are an Interim TS/SCI reflected within JPAS or current SSBI with TS/SCI eligibility reflected within JPAS.
(6) Soldier is required to receive and pass a counterintelligence scope polygraph (CSP) prior to being awarded the MOS and must continue to pass subsequent CSPs to hold the MOS.
Soldiers currently in the force must be capable of passing a CSP to hold the MOS.
Soldiers who refuse to take or fail a CSP will be reclassified.
(7) USAREC and HRC will screen and vet a recruit or a reclassifying Soldier to determine if the recruit or reclassifying Soldier has immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings, and stepchildren, cohabitant of the individual or a person in loco parentis per AR 600-8-10) who are citizens or dual-citizens, or reside in one of the countries on the U.S. Army Tiered Country List.
Recruits or reclassifying Soldiers who meet this criteria cannot hold this MOS.
(8) Soldiers must be eligible to gain system and/or facility access controlled by the NSA.
Soldiers who are not granted NSA system and/or facility access after 12 months of their access request date will lose qualification in their primary MOS (PMOS).
Commanders will initiate reclassification or separation actions for the Soldier.
The access request date is defined as the date that the NSA receives a completed Security In-processing Packet (SIP).
(9) A high school graduate or equivalent prior to entry on active duty.
(10) See AR 614-200 for restrictions for former U.S. Peace Corps service.

(18) Be advised that due to the nature of training and assignments, temporary restrictions may be placed on foreign travel both during and after the term of service.
(19) MOS reclassification at SFC and above will be reviewed for validation of skills by the proponent during the reclassification process.
