More MA rating info stuff...
Master-at-Arms (MA) Masters-at-Arms uphold law and order aboard ships, shore stations, control access to naval installations, and deploy overseas with expeditionary forces and squadrons performing Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) duties. The basic duty of an MA is to enforce rules and regulations, maintain good order and discipline, and protect life and property. Some other duties include conducting criminal investigations, personal protective services, take part in correctional and rehabilitative programs, Military Working Dog (MWD) handlers, small arms instruction, lethal and non-lethal weapons training, and organize and train sailors assigned to Shore Patrol police duty. Their equivalents in the civilian world are detectives, security guards, and policemen. (MA) Master-at-Arms The MA rating provides the Navy with security specialists who perform antiterrorism, force protection, physical security, and law enforcement duties on land and at sea. MA’s are the Navy’s security and force protection professionals. An MA may operate a force protection watercraft, direct an investigation, control a base access point, or supervise a K-9 asset. Some specific MA duties are listed below:
MA’s may expect to be assigned to duty at shore stations in the United States and Overseas; aboard ships as either ship’s company or embarked security team; or as part of a maritime expeditionary security squadron. The work environment varies widely with individual assignments. MAs are currently serving in expeditionary security locations worldwide and providing landward and seaward security in support of Joint Service operations. A-School (Job School) Information Lackland AFB, TX -- 40 calendar days Hampton Roads, VA -- 50 calendar days Kings Ba, GA -- 50 calendar days Sea/Shore Rotation for This Rating
MA is classified as an INUS/OUTUS (in the U.S./Outside the U.S.) community, which means that instead of being assigned to ships, many of their overseas assignments are classified as sea tour duty for sea/show flow purposes.

I cannot wait! But I do have a question: how often do MAs get stuck cleaning -as in dishes, bathrooms and other, excluding obvious arsenal- compared to security operations aboard ship?
Rumor had it there was plenty of cleaning. |

There is plenty of cleaning no matter what your rate is. My husband jokes that they are all glorified, overpaid janitors!

MAs cleaning?
yeah, cleaning your gun... thats about it. and the common courtesy of cleaning up your own trash after standing post... state side bases may be different, but we stood post with Nepalese soldiers, so we weren't on duty alone.
