I just got off the phone with a USN recruiter. He stated that they have MA (Navy Police Officer) positions open and I would be eligible for a MA3 spot. He stated that I would lose my E-5 (prior active duty) rank due to my time since being separated and actual time as an E-5. He also stated that I could probably be waived from the MA training since I am already a LEO.
I have a couple questions-
-My ultimate goal is to obtain a direct commision after I finish my bachelors in about 1 1/2 yrs in a Navy Law Enforcement field through the Direct Commissioning Program. Is this a decent route to go for now?
-I know what the active duty MAs do, what are some of the responsibilities of a reserve MA? During weekend drills? Two weeks AD? or During deployments?
This is a move I've been pondering for a few years now. The MA rate was usually closed but is now finally open. I figure now is a better time than ever. Now, I just have to win support from my family and work!
Thanks for any responses.
