My daughter in law when she finished her training as an MA went directly to Bahrain for her entire enlistment....

Note: This news is still preliminary, and therefore subject to 1) my own misinterpretation and 2) Navy whimsy.

I just heard today that Big Navy wants to do away with temporary Security personnel on carriers, meaning that all the grunt work currently filled by other ratings on loan will soon be done exclusively by MAs. If this goes through, the rating is going to need a lot of new bodies, and advancement may get a shot in the arm.

This is true, one of the reasons the CNP announced the "Bees to Badges" program a few weeks ago.

I think a lot of MA/MP's are highly disappointed after they start doing their actual job. Guarding gates and checking ID's has to be awful. I had a bunch of MA's at my table during TGPS class and they all sounded miserable. Very slow advancement and shift work.

Thanks Haasino and Guppy. I'll definitely keep this in mind. My recruiter has been trying to steer me toward Intelligence also, so I am trying to get some research in before MEPS.

An entire enlistment in Bahrain? Ouch.

2 years was more than enough for me.

okay, so reading these posts has made me a little confused on trying for MA. I was told that HM may not be available at the time I need it, so I was just gonna go for MA. I dont wanna just stand post and check ID's. Although I do want to request Camp Pendleton

I miss it like crazy, but Im also up for going to a new place.

Advice plzzzzzz
