Hello all,

I was wondering if there were any members on this board who are U.S Navy Master at Arms? If so please give me some insight on this branch and being a M.A I will appreciate it. Also my Navy friend was telling me about the Navy and how their is a thing I think called N.C.S, Navy Cause Service? Correct me if I'm wrong, he told me it is serving full time 2 years then 2 years as a reservist. The reason for this post is, I'm a recent college grad just received my bachelors and the job market is - you guys know what. So I think the Military has many options that will/ may benefit me. Thanks.

Was not an MA but since there has been so little info in this thread for you so far I'll throw in my 2 cents.

I was on a small ship ~350 crew, we had 1 MA back then on board, since he was basically the LAW onboard, most of the crew didn't socialize much with him. I think he was responsible for investigating thefts and liberty incidents. managed the restricted muster, and was present at captains mast's, etc. Probably interfaced with the XO I imagine.

Ashore or bigger ship I would guess better camaraderie, just keep in mind you will be dealing with the Navy's dirtbags, most of whom are on their way out.

the military doesnt give it takes. sure you get your gi bill from the VA for college but you give the country your youth, your innocence and sometimes your life. the worst is when your back at home and you turn on the news and know who just got wacked. for what its worth the decision to join is a personal decision. I think anyone who needs to ask for others opinions should look for another line of work. I say that as a former second class petty officer who has had to listen to my booters ***** and complain and in other cases thank god they joined up.

This got me thinking; do reservists get the VA Loan and GI bill the same as the rest of us?

no idea I think the tampons get more now than they did before 2003 since they get activated left and right.

WOW BITTER MUCH???

not really cool to talk sh*t about others experiences in the service man. whats your rate man? are you one of those company men who thinks that people who get out are non hackers and belive that all people should aspire to become khaki wearing SNCO buttdarts so that when they retire they can go back home and be that new S*ithot greeter at wallmart? I bet you have atleast 3 NAMs that you got for complete utter BS.

Again, please try to stay on topic it'll be greatly appreciated.

lesson one of being in the service, nothing ever stays on topic. if it did you'd go crazy lol.

Weird some guy at the range claimed to be air force and had his name on his pants , i guess the key word is "claimed" , at least he wasnt a combat controller or PJ

EWWWWWW....CLAIMERS!

Could you be a bigger tool and still fit in the clothes you wear in the morning? I think not. Chill out.

. but you have benefit of not knowing how cool the navy actually was 5 years ago

nevermind the Navy all the services were alot more fun in the late 80's and early 90's. Clinton killed all the fun and now it just sucks.

The only thing the MA did on any ships I was on was try to catch people having sex. They were the official ship cock blocker. No body likes them & I don't know of any agencies who count MA experience towards LE time. I know that at one time San Diego PD counted time as an MP, Army or Marines, towards LE, not sure if they still do.

I apologize are you a greeter too? home depot or walmart? of course i'm not serious for all I know you could be a 20 year retired combat vet with one leg. if you came and told me the military takes and doesnt give I wouldnt have the lack of penile fortitude to call you bitter.

i know somebody who was a gunners mate and now is in pd. IF his time in service got counted, most likely it will count as an MA too

As an active duty Master-at-arms (MA3) I would HIGHLY suggest NOT going into this rate. You will be in for a rude awakening, expect to spend most of your (12-14) hour nights on a lonely post. It is not the high speed law enforcement job you are thinking of.

Didn't catch your bit about NCS first. Just be aware that with NCS your 2 years will most likely be at Guantanamo bay.
