As an MA you were more than likely going to doing gate guard duty anyway. There could be some opportunity to move into security forces from the aviation side though. For instance, I'm a CT but I also did VBSS on the ship. It was a collateral duty but I still had no issues getting to strap up and kick some ass.

Request to go TAD to security/ASF if your command will let you. This will allow you to work with the MAs and see if that's a rating you'd enjoy. Then hope for the best and cross-rate.

What is TAD

LT Guppy · 08-28-2014, 07:33 PM

Temporary additional duty

Navy1013 · 08-28-2014, 07:48 PM

I will have to check into that when I get to my command
