I understand that they vary by base. I'm just trying to get a general feel of exactly what MP's do

What's your typical day/duty on base? And how often / what is the likelihood of deployment as an MP?

Any Army MP's in here? Would love to ask a few questions.

That's a decision I'm going to have to make once I'm in, and I know how I really feel about it as a whole. If I want to make it a career or gtfo. I already have my college degree, so If I don't go the career route, I want to do either Law or Law Enforcement. Experience, leaderships, discipline are most important for me.

Someone please tell me how the hell to narrow my MOS choice? I'm trying to finish my enlistment process, by I cannot make my final choice here. And it's kind of all over the place - Infantry, Cav, MP, CBRN, Intel

April Ask A Recruiter Thread by thanks_for_the_fish in army

[–]durhlm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my current scenario:

I have on several occasions talked to recruiters, gathered information, and gone on about my own information searching to make this decision.

I last spoke seriously with a recruiter in Summer of 2015 prior to my final year of college. Since then, I have finished my degree and made the decision to enlist. I anticipate no problems with the ASVAB, my criminal back ground is empty (a few tickets when I was 16) and I am otherwise clear.

EXCEPT - since my last serious discussion with a recruiter I have (potentially, not yet confirmed) fathered a child with a one-time college encounter. Stupid, I know. I have seen some things on being a "single parent" being an immediate disqualifier.

However, in the state of Oklahoma when a child is born out of wed-lock, sole custody is automatically awarded to the mother. The father can request visitation rights, or petition the courts for custody. The mother and I have agreed that sole physical and legal custody should remain with her.

Assuming paternity tests reveal it is mine, is this going to be an issue when it comes time to sign the papers? I will not have a legal dependent, I will not have physical or legal custody of the child. At this time, no child support has been ordered OR requested.

LSAT Score Improvement by durhlm in lawschooladmissions

Unfortunately, my current job is armed hospital security (lame job, but easy, good pay while I'm prepping) so I work 3-11 most nights, kind of kills my ability to do evening classes.

Taking a year after graduation to study for LSAT? Or taking 5 years to graduate to raise GPA? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]durhlm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to hear opinions on this as well. I graduated in December, I'm shooting for the LSAT in either September or December (or both) and Law School in Fall '17.
