Great video, I was a MA years ago, first duty station was Bahrain . MA is one of the best ratings in the Navy, can be boring but very necessary. I loved it. Bahrain summer can be hot as hades.

[mikeo.]

Totally accurate about getting to know people on post. I wasn’t an MA, but I was ASF and I got to know people very well and that was always fun to talk to others. I got to go TAD to gate watch for six months every year at my command.

[Alex.Kazakevich]

Im an AD but you’re videos have definitely opened my eyes up to what an MA actually does and the responsibilities they hold. I might end up trying to cross rate in the future, I think it’s very genuine that you’re very upfront with people who may be interested rather than painting, a false picture and selling a dream to future recruits.

Oh yeah man, new Beck TV upload. LIFE IS GOOD WHEN BECK UPLOADS!

[wlytruth]

You should make a video on what to pack for deployment as an MA !

[LEVThaOg]

Thank you for this. I think anything anyone does it will have annoying and boring moments. Thats like building a business. It takes time to grow and venture into the bigger areas. Props to you

MA shipping out march 4th anxious but u and austen alexander have me feeling like MAs bouta be a blast!

[totalnslaught]

As an active duty MA for 6 years. It’s a great career.ive been to commands were it’s like the lite version of being a cop but also some commands your just security. It’s a great community with a lot of good people in it. Would recommend the navy is what u make it.

i’m going MA after bootcamp and i can’t wait

[miguelbermudez]

Reserve MA here: it depends on where you go: I have been to Bahrain, UAE, Panama, Hawaii, Oman, Qatar, and Djibouti. I have also been with MESRON and did HPU in New Jersey.

Having done LE, AT/FP, and waterside you're right about getting quals. I also am civilian police and am a dog hander for my dept as well as a federal firearms instructor which got me the SAMI equivalent NEC.

I say for ppl that wanna do MA it is easier to progress and take those skills into the civilian world after getting certain quals.

Also I made MA1 in 8 years after deploying so much to the point where I knew most of the material on the exam.

[serj]

I just signed my contract for master at arms and swore in. Boot camp is on sept 10 any advice

looking for a job have no idea what to pick

[richvarela]

you are lucky in the 1980s you had to have general service experience in the navy and be an E-5 to be one .

[mohammad.Du]

US Military is heaven special for some people i know who are civilians security guards they make 200$-400$ per month

[Astronomical]

Solid video, Im not. A MA but all enlisted jobs are boring and I felt were a deadend.my job translated to the civilian world but it was still a deadend .I learned that pretty quickly. I went reserves and started doing college. I got my commission a couple years ago


You guys are lucky. You have Internet, when I was looking with the recruiter for a job we had to read from a big ass binder the job descriptions and what the job responsibilities were.there wasn't even videos to watch

[savettelt]

I’m trying to enlist as an ma right now

[greeneyesms]

Sounds like being a submariner. Routine day in and day out cruising the high seas or being slammed by major stress & danger.

[Jake-beji]

Can you be stationed in Europe with this rate? Where all have you been stationed?

[hornetnezt]

Very helpful videos, man!

Can I just ask that you go put your flag in the dryer for a cycle to unwrinkle it though?

Additionally, I have a nice plain Crye JPC 1.0 plate carrier in OD Green with Level IV ceramics. If I put my rank, branch, and name patches on there would the Navy allow me to wear that as a Master-At-Arms while on duty? How much gear leeway are you allowed in your position between issued and private purchase? Maybe be a silly question. Thanks man on the clear and to the point videos!
