Here's a complete guide to the ranks of the U.S. Navy's Master at Arms! Also included is how to become an officer, and what they do. This video was approved by a U.S. Navy Public Affairs Officer. #navy #military
Glad I found your page, I'm enlisting trying to get in for MA dog handler, I'm getting alot of great info! Quick question if you don't mind. What is the qualifying asvab score to qualify for MA? thanks for the videos!
Online it says AR+VE+MK+MC=196 but people who got an overall score of like 40 out of 99 qualified for MA. You don't need to be Albert Einstein to guard a gate. Glad they're useful and that I could help!
Thank you for the comprehensive information. Could you please tell how realistic it is for a person who enlists in their 40s with a BA degree, fluency in 5 foreign languages, and also with specific knowledge and decades of experience in a specific field, to be able to advance from E to O? Thank you very much once again.
Once you get up to those ages it disqualifies you from some officer billets to join, but you can still join as certain types of officers straight away. You can also join as enlisted and get commissioned but since you already have a degree I don't know why you'd want to do that. For MA you have to be enlisted to become an officer, you could probably put a package in after 2 years or so but I don't know for sure. I do know someone here was a 2nd class (E5) before being commissioned an O1.
@@HaedenBeck Thank you very much for such an informative reply. I really appreciate it very much indeed. As I know, to be eligible for commission as an officer, one has to be a U.S. citizen. The MAVNI program doesn't exist anymore, and enlistment is only an option if one has established permanent resident status. Unfortunately, I do not know of any other option that would allow one to enlist, even if that person is in legal presence status.
@@DavidJokhadze I'm not sure how to go about joining as a non-citizen. I don't want to provide incorrect information and am not afraid to simply say I don't know instead of leading you down a wrong path.
He/She can go from college to OCS and be an O-1 on a nuclear sub but no one can go to college then OCS be an O-1 in security? I'm surprised the Navy doesn't have a program where a criminal justice college graduate can spend 6 months learning the MA ropes then go to OCS. Signed, Puzzled Guy
Yes, that's just one of the ways to distinguish yourself. Even to become an MA officer, a college degree can help speed up the process but for LDO you don't need it. However someone else who has it is more likely to be selected.
Law enforcement commands can have some of that, but almost all of it goes to NCIS. There are still limited investigative opportunities, shore patrol and stuff which opens up once you make second class and have multiple commands under your belt, but for someone like me being an MA is being a security guard who controls access to areas. I'm not Dick Tracy or anything.
