thinking of joining the Navy reserves

[big dog cowboy]

He will lose most of it in boot camp. :laugh2:

That was Ox's plan in Stripes also.

I'm in the Marine Corps reserves, we have a few sailor boys in our unit, corpsman...they get my respect haha.

One thing about the reserves, is that if you dont have a full time job or school to do in between the 30 days that your drilling...you're SOL and broke. So I would talk to the police academy and tell them straight up what your plan is and ask them if that will help your chances of getting into the academy. Otherwise, you'll come outta boot camp and your MOS school...and if you dont get to become a cop...your *****.

what the Zoomie said about the advantage for you is true, dont do active duty if you dont want to be a full time sailor, just realize that you can get deployed and that is that. But you will be able to start your career as a police officer while in the reserves, heck..you might stay in the reserves 20 years, get a pension form them and the police force and be set for life

Speaking of Rack...how old is he? Don't they have an age limit for joining the reserves and regulars? For some reason, I was thinking he was in his 40's.

When I went through my MOS training the late 80's we had a couple of guys that were in their 40's going training. They were in better shape than some of the 18 year olds including me.

The Air Force would be my choice.

haha never heard that one before

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

maybe I'll have a better chance of joining the Boston State Police that way, I live in MD right now, but am trying to make my way up there

mucho thanks for the post

no prob Bob...just remember when you talk to the recruiter they may try and persuade you to go to another career field (probably wont be a problem with being a cop) but as long as you stick to your guns and tell them you want that job and only that job you're golden

 

[suspenceman]

glad you enjoyed that. yall flyboy's are a little different than us Marines. but we sure do like it when we call in for a little extra "fire power" haha, then yall become our best friends

 

[Jon88]

If you have no convictions you can probably get that arrest record expunged. That's what I plan on doing.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Rather you go full time, or reserve, I commend you for your decision to join. That's an awesome commitment from you bro. Good luck with it.

 

[lane]

I want to be a K-9 cop, but with my history, (no convictions for anything, but I do have an arrest record) I think it would be best to start out as a Navy cop as a reservist, and then apply to join the city police

I was also thinking about becoming an intelligence specialist, as I am pretty computer savvy, and once I get out I could get into a lucrative career in the IT industry

anybody ever been a reservist of any branch, and have some opinions/objections/support?

nobody cares...

the Navy says 35 is the cut-off year

but the Army is the Army, so it could be 65 for them

 

[Bob Sacamano]

well, I just dropped off the application, I have to wait till the 25th to take the civil service test for the police
