MA availability.

Because Ma's have a lot of billets. Every base needs security and there are many naval bases and air stations. In addition to that i've seen MA's at joint bases and Army bases as well such as Fort Meade.

I got MA as soon as i asked for it at MEPS, although my recruiter told me it was extremely popular and i might not get it, so have a couple back-up plans (Gunner's Mate and Quartermaster for me).

Best of luck with it. The rate has been good to me.

There are so many billets because the rate is expanding. All security on Carriers will now be handled almost exclusively by MA's. There is also a new base or something in Romania they are sending any new MA's to, and of course there are several new MA's being sent to Bahrain evry couple of weeks.
