Howdy,
I'm currently in the process of enlisting in the Navy Reserve and I am trying to get information on some MA issues. I currently am working on my BS in Criminal Justice and will be going to the local Police Academy in July. My recruiter told me because of my background (prior Army) I won't need to go to A school and can go into drilling with the unit as soon as i sign the paperwork.
My questions are:
How would I deploy with this unit not having any actual MA training?
What extra training is available for MAs other than the 2 weeks a year?
Where can I get study materials to help prepare me for this job?
Does the Navy have correspondance courses to help transition into this job?
Any comments/help are appreciated!
