HENLEY-PUTNAM UNIVERSITY HOSTS FREE PUBLIC TELECONFERENCE BRIEFING ON
"Building a Career in Military Intelligence"
-- Former Army Intelligence Officer John Rovegno, Featured Guest Expert 24 April at 10:00 A.M. PST --
San Jose, CA, April 10, 2008 ― On Thursday, April 24, beginning at 10 A.M. (PST), former Army Intelligence Officer John Rovegno, will share his thoughts on how to build a career in military intelligence in this month’s Henley-Putnam University teleconference.
The teleconference will include topics such as: - ‘How to think’ not ‘what to think,’ which is an important distinction that separates the best intelligence analysts
- The skills needed to be successful as a Military Intel Analyst, including critical thinking
- Understanding the basics of the intelligence cycle, including critical thinking, cultural understanding, language and linguistics (‘how’ something is said is as important as ‘what’ is said), and the military decision making process (MDMP). Military intelligence analysts must understand that they are part of a team, so use the knowledge and expertise on your team (Fires, Civil Affairs, Public Affairs, Special Operations, Chaplains, etc.) to your advantage
According to Rovegno, “We now have the opportunity to share our future officers’/analysts’ education towards those subjects and ideas which are helpful to understand the future. Military schools teach the basics quite well, but no one effectively teaches critical thinking…applying the conventional to the unconventional. Students must think outside the box to predict the enemy’s next moves. Analysts must study abroad and truly understand how other cultures think and why they do what they do.”
The Henley-Putnam monthly teleconference briefings are free to the public. Reservations can be made by calling 408-453-9900 ext. 9949. “Building a Career in Military Intelligence” with John Rovegno will be live April 24 at 10:00 A.M. PST. Teleconferences are archived for free download on the University's website: http://www.henley-putnam.edu/111-185.htm.
