HadenIsland23 42 Posted January 2, 2012 Is anyone in it? What branch? Any recruiters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted January 2, 2012 I tried to join the Navy a few years ago but couldn't due to health reasons. I also have quite a few friends in various branches. I could probably either answer any questions you have or direct you to right the place to find the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted January 3, 2012 Doesn't mean much, but my closest friend is in the Air Force. He's fresh out of tech school and has received a whole lot of honors and attention, he knows a whole lot about the Military branches... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HadenIsland23 42 Posted January 3, 2012 Well, I'm looking to go in and do 4-6 years at least. Then either go to college while there or go to a University when I get out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted January 3, 2012 Well, I'm looking to go in and do 4-6 years at least. Then either go to college while there or go to a University when I get out. What I mean is, as far as a job goes not only after the military but while you are there. There's a lot more to joining than going through basic, then getting shipped out overseas (potentially). You could be a cook, a garbage man, a communications expert, a computer or tech kind of guy. And the options go on and on and on. And not every branch supports every type of job.

HadenIsland23 42 Posted January 3, 2012 Law Enforcement. Ment to put that in the OP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted January 3, 2012 If you want to be involved with Law Enforcement in the military, pretty much every branch has their version of that job. The Army and Marines have MP's, the Air Force has Security Forces and the Navy has a rating (other name for job in the Navy) called a Master at Arms (MA). It sounds to me like the important thing for you decide is what branch to go into. I'll say right off the bat that the Navy and Air Force treat you a lot better than the other branches, and they usually have better food also. However, because of that, they are also more selective, since there are tons of people willing to join both branches, especially the Air Force. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted January 3, 2012 Yea... My friend said if your trying to get into law enforcement, you'd be better off in the Navy... He went into a long ass explanation that I couldn't listen to cause we were playin Halo and he was talking to me on Live. He did mention that the opportunity to get into law enforcement career wise is quicker through the Navy though so i'd recommend asking around about that. He also said that they test you on your conditioning, push-ups, etc... Sorry I couldn't be more help, lol. But he did say to call your recruiter again, and that it was probably busy...
