PhD/PsyD Psyops military officer career (Just a Fun question)

[John Lock]

Hi All,

Would the psychological operations officer position be a good career for doctorate level psychology students after graduating? (I myself am not pursuing this its just a fun question)
Here is the link to the position page.

It looks like it's not open to officers, so I think that'd disqualify anyone currently holding a doctorate.

The description sounds mildly akin to a field agent for the FBI in the behavioral analysis unit, of which (I believe) it's also the case that none have a doctorate. My understanding in that setup is that there's usually a very small number of doctoral-level folks in the program, so this may be similar.

I hear the Sith are hiring but, according to legend, there are only two at one time...an apprentice and a master

My dream is to waterboard some peeps...

BTW, the job announcement clearly states this is for enlisted service members. This is a specialty MOS, education is done by and within the US Army. This is all in the job announcement.

You'd have to deal in absolutes, though. I'm way too wishy washy for that. lol

There are officer PSYOPS spots (37A). You do not need a PhD to be a PSYOPS officer, the Army provides the training you would need.
