Which is the best branch to become a Correction Officer?
If you really want good training for law enforcement, join the Coast Guard. The CG deals with civilian and maritime law enforcement and falls under Homeland Security. The other branches will deal with military law and that is not bad but the CG will provide you with a better background if you want to do civilian law enforcement.
Tired of Being an Correctional Officer Where Else Can I go?
I am tired of Being a Correctional Officer, Its not a bad job but I like physical work moving around and stuff . I am stuck in a place for 12 hours a day and the pay in the NC area aint that good compared to other states.I was thinking about Trying VA DOC. Working 12s are hard They are not just for me, Work 12 Sleep 9 Hrs. Then my day is gone. Any Suggestions On what I should do Iam only 21 Years old. And people where I work say this is a bad place to start at my age. I would like to finish getting my degree in criminal justice but I am unable to. And We only get paid once a month.
How long does it take to become a navy officer?
Dependins on every thing. But look at your age and its eligibility criteria.
Can I be a police officer while in the Navy Reserves?
Absolutely!I will say the bigger the department, the easier it is on the department to cover your shifts when you’re gone, but even the smallest departments will make allowances for your absence.When I first joined the Army Reserves (607th MP Bn), several of my fellow soldiers were also police officers. My company commander was Dallas Police Department’s “Rookie of the Year.” Later, as my military career was winding down, I was in an MP instructor unit for a couple of years. Several of the instructors were also civilian police officers.It kinda sucked that I had to go through similar training for the military and civilian police, and didn’t get cross-credit either way. I went through the Army Basic Instructor Course, but still had to go through the TCOLE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement) Instructor Course. Had to do the same stuff in both courses.
NYPD vs. NYC Correction?
Both work very hard, long hours. They're very rewarding in each of their own aspects. I'm a cop. I considered a career in Probation and Parole, Corrections, Military, and Policing. Police won, in my opinion, I love it. In NYC however, they do things a bit different. I did foot patrol all summer and loved it, but I don't know if I'd much like winter foot patrol, when property crimes are high and violent crime rate is down. But look into both, apply for both, and see where the application processes take you.
Can you have a Navy Seal career?
Well, first of all i have wanted to know a little about the Navy Seals. Can you be enlisted pretty much all your life until you want to retire? Like have a career in the Navy Seals and be deployed every once in a while? Or do you need to have a second job as a citizen until your deployed? If you go through college and enlist as an officer, are you in command and tell them to go be deployed or something and not get to join the battle? (I know, this is making me sound like a game addict doesnt it?) Or, do you still get to be deployed while being an officer? Whats the pay rate per month as an enlisted and an officer? I would really like to know, thanks!
What are the best jobs in the Navy as an officer?
I will answer this question from the standpoint of the average college grad, not an ROTC or USNA graduate. There are roughly 20 different officer specialties in the Navy. Take your pick, fly the not-always-friendly skies, or dive to the ocean’s depths, and everything between. The “in between” includes Surface Warfare Officer (SWO), Special Warfare, EOD, Nurse Corps, Medical Service Corps, Medical Corps, Supply (logistics) Corps, JAG Corps, Civil Engineer Corps, and many more. Take your burning desire to be an officer to a Navy Officer recruiter to see if it fits with the “needs of the Navy”. As a an officer recruiter in ‘78-’81, most of our highest “goals”, aka quotas, were for Nuclear Power candidates/submariners and doctors with specialties. Aviation and surface officers were easier to find because the educational requirements were much less demanding. Pilots and ship-drivers can be art majors, NUKES and Docs can’t be. There are probably very few college majors which the Navy cannot use, and a handful that they cannot get enough of. If you’re an aviation psychologist or undersea medicine specialist, the Navy may want you. If you’re a business, psych, English, IT, humanities, etc. major, there is likely a job waiting for you.I can’t say that I loved every minute of my 21 years, but I loved enough of it to hang on for 21 years. Eight years in Hawaii, five years in SOCAL, and three years in FL made my five years of “hard time” in NY and MS a faint memory.
Who is better, a navy officer, or a police officer?
Neither. They are trained in different area of expertise. Now if on average you said which is more educated Id say the Navy officer. That isnt saying the Police arent. They both go through a screening process. But some small town may not have many candidates to choose a police officer from. The Navy gets to choose from its enlisted ranks of many thousands. Some go to the Naval Academy direct. Not all Military officers attend one the Military Academies, which are some of the finest in the USA. The police academy may last 2-3 month. Most likely the new officer will get additional training on the job. The Navies OCS is 12 weeks and usually will get additional training. The Navy Academy is 4 years and only the brightest get to go, let alone graduate. Marine Officers also can go to the Navel Academy. But depends on your need which is better. You want a criminal arrested and him not being let go by the courts, a Police Officer. To protect your home, town the Police. You want a knot tied, a ship navigated, large groups of men directed, Naval Officer.
What jobs can I do after being a prison officer?
With this experience and level of expertise and skill, I would think there are many, many careers you can pursue. You have experience in being a leader, organized, regimental, cautious, fair with groups of people, understands the importance of order, must be physically fit, and possess strength, and courage…a lot of courage. etc. some of the jobs that come to my mind are high school physical ed teacher, personal trainer, security consultant, human resource executive, employment training and skills specialist, private and corporate investigator (railroad companies and big Fortune 500 companies love ex law enforcement), police officer, and probably many more jobs in law enforcement. I mean you could do all kinds of jobs…good jobs. The list goes on, and on. If I sat down and thought about it I couled add many more to this list. But, I have to go for now. You get my point though. Good luck. I'm sure whatever you decide to do, you will be very successful at it.
Should I finish my degree (3 semesters left) and become an officer in the Navy or re-enlist and become an officer through a different way? I really want to go back in and become an officer one way or another.
While I was a junior in college, I enlisted in the US Naval Reserve. Because I enlisted under the ROC (Reserve Officer Candidate) program, I did not have to attend boot camp. But I was allowed to drill and enroll in a BMR (Basic Military Requirements) course.During the summer between my junior and senior years, I attended the first two months of Navy OCS. Then I was released to finish my senior year in college. After graduation from college, I attended the final three months of OCS and was commissioned as a Naval Reserve Officer. Because of my prior enlisted reserve service, six months after commissioning I received a salary increase because I was now an Ensign with over two years of service. So it pays to be prior enlisted either active duty or reserve.After receiving my officer's commission as an unrestricted line officer, I requested active duty and served for three years on sea duty. After the three years of active duty, I was then released into the IRR (Individual Ready Reserve). Although I no longer had to drill, I did enroll in Naval correspondence courses.So although I am recommending you do something similar, please understand that I accomplished all this forty years ago. Back then, the US Navy ROC program was 22 weeks long and today, Navy OCS is only 12 weeks long. So things have changed. Go to your nearest Naval reserve center and speak with their recruiters for current information.
