ive made up my mind im joining the military i want to be a military police or a sharp shooter

commendable, where are you at as far as school? it will be worthwhile to check and see what they might require and tailor what your taking toward your goal.

Scott keeps talking about it, but so far has not signed on the dotted line. I hope that he does. If I were his age, I would already be signed on and gone.

i took my asfab and got a 53 im going to take my ged test in Michigan and then i have two weeks till i go to basic training i hope all goes well ill try to keep in touch when i go

A word of advise. Choose an MOS that will give you the training and experience that you can use when you get back in civilian life.

If I had to do it over again, that is the way I would go. Although I had four MOS's, not one of them was much value in the real world. With age comes wisdom?

good advise , and again i comend you on your life journey , may it be a good one

i figured that i could do mp and when i get out i will have already been trained to be a police officer and i figure that its a job compaired to were im at now

i dont know you , but if i were to guess , it sounds a good route to establish youir credentials - then get the GI bill to pay for whatever continueing education you need , take advantage of whats offered and make the most of it , i think you will do well

....when I went in,I was heavy into photography...(the draft kinda decided for me that I was going in... )....they were gonna put me in as a Photographer's Mate rating-however,halfway thru bootcamp they informed me that the school was backed up for 8 months and they werent gonna have me sit around-so I better pick something related ....well,the closest was called Photo Intelligence (about a2 years later renamed Intelligence Specialist)....it worked with photography-you did photography,etc.....little did I realize it involved higher than top secret clearances and a whole host of other stuff I wont even go into detail about at this point.....long story short,when I got out I stumbled into an aerial photography and mapping company and have been doing it for a living for the last 31 years...... that has gotten so hi-tech it boggles me even now...back then I never knew this stuff existed....heed the wise words in the above posts well.....

see - it can work out just fine , mario is also probably carrying secrets in his head that foreign govments would kill-er-pay-er-die for

seriously , you can have fun - learn what it takes to get a good job , get your education paid for , get decent health care and a retirement if you stick it out at an early age ,

i on the other hand will work the rest of my life , hopefully a long one , and still owe someone and the tax man when they throw dirt on my face [or spread my ashes-my prefered exit]

i'm ready i think.... i hear basic training is hell.. but its the best thing for me right now... i think it is the way i should go because i already screwed up enough of my life now its time to patch it over and start fresh...
