KIDDING! JUST KIDDING!
You may be on to something....
Just guessing here, but I wouldn't be shocked if the required ASVAB scores for those intelligence MOS's are comparatively high, while the primary pool of transferees would be infantry/03, which has a lower ASVAB score.
Now I'm sure there are enough 03 Marines will sufficiently high ASVAB scores, but I'm also guessing those are the ones more likely to be on a good track with promotions, etc.. In other words, they're having to convince some of the most successful infantry Marines to leave their units and MOS for a brand new one that has much less in the way of troop leadership opportunities.
