MA Rating Info

TrooperTaff · 06-13-2012, 09:22 PM

I'm really hoping I get an MA rating. I see my recruiter tomaro and I'm going to tell him MA or I'm postponing till I can get the rating. My buddy is in the airforce for Security Forces and said the OC spray was hell lol

When I was in MA was not all that great. I loved being military police but now I kind of wish I would have chosen another rate. It is really hard to move up as a MA and the rate is so backstabbing its crazy! But everyone told me the same thing and I still did it and I loved it! You just have to watch out for number one, no one is your friend when you are an MA. But good luck and I hope all goes well!

MA's always seem like they're against everyone, even their co workers... im a very friendly person, i thought i had a lot of friends, but i was used, talked about, and a lot of negative shit went on. I did like the job, i just hated doing it for the military. Law enforcement is great, but a lot of bases do anti terrorism force protection, and you dont do much police work, so keep that in mind too.

Reading this just makes me really anxious and edgy... OC Spray, I'm sure I can get over.. Feeling like everyone is backstabbing, not sure how to take that one. o.O

It just sucks when you are at a base and you think you build up this friendship with your fellow MA's and then when something goes down, no one has your back. If you are not buddy buddy with your Chief or First class, you are going to get sucky evals, thats just the way it works being a MA. As far as not doing much police work, it just depends on the base you are at. I did anti terrorism stuff and police work, it just depended what post I was on that day.

I'm not going MA, but I am former law enforcement... when you say nobody has your back, are you talking administratively, like someone f**ks up and all your buddies throw you under the bus? Or do you literally mean when shit goes down on the street, nobody comes to back you up on a call?
