What jobs can I get at the CIA that are of a similar nature to that of a Navy Seal/Marine soldier etc?
Thats all. Thanks Seals

Did you even try looking on the CIA website?
Paramilitary Operations Officer/Specialized Skills Officer
https://www.cia.gov/careers/jobs/view-all-jobs/paramilitary-operations-officer-specialized-skills-officer.html
Not that I actually know anything about it other than what's posted there.
Oh yeah ... never call a marine a soldier.
Like previously posted, check out their website.
However, keep in mind that the CIA generally speaking is a collection agency, not an enforcement agency. I'd encourage you to also look at the rest of the alphabet stew including FBI, DEA, ATF, ICE . . . .

Here's the simple truth. You can not get employment in the CIA in the SOG (Special Operations Group) Paramilitary or Special Operations Officer without having had served in the military in some Special Operations role first, ie Rangers, SEAL, Delta, or SF. Plus your going to need a degree and maybe a masters.
Remember the alphabet agaencies base employment on education and real world experience, espicially the CIA.
Think?
How can you do a job 'like that' without actually having any real world experience first!
THINK!!

Surprised nobody noticed this one. For future reference it is SEALS, having the name in lower case is very disrespectful to the true SEALS that are on these forums. I also got slammed for this when I first came on here.

A bachelors degree is a prerequisite. There's a list from the CIA website on what majors are preferred for each field.
Obviously, it helps if you speak foreign languages.

If I were you I would stop talking about these interests on a public forum #1, and #2 all the information that you need to know is on the agencies website.

Usually each class has a couple of guys that the FBI sends out for dive phase of BUD/s. They are members or future members of their HRT. That is probably the closest thing you will find publicly to SEALs in the government. They don't drop down, chilly dip, decon, get beat, and they get full wetsuits with gloves. However they sit in on all the briefs, do some of the workouts with you and do the 4 mile timed runs. They are the envy of every 2nd phase student, because they always seem warm, dry, and fresh.
