Military Firefighting to become a civilian firefighter?
The military will train you to be a paramedic yes, but you'll be a combat paramedic, not a street paramedic. I know army guys (68-whiskeys) that applied to be civilian medics and got turned down because they did not have enough training. I would not go the 68-whiskey route (which btw is army, are you only considering army?). Fire fighting in the military would at least get you trained to the highest level and would get you more experience. The training will not get you any certifications though. The military looks good to Fire departments no matter what the job is because military members are fit and disciplined already. Your experience as a fire fighter may or may not tip the scales in your favor. You also get extra points on the fire exam. The military will not pay for you to go to school outright though. You need to serve your 4 years first to gain that GI bill that will fund your education. Even if you try to go to night class while your in it'll still take 2 years of service to finish your mandatory CDC tests. Why are you so worried about the fire academy and being trained as a medic? I applied at many fire departments before I decided to join the military and 90% of them put you through their own fire academy/medic school after you get the job. Even if you the academy done some will still make you sit in their program. So no worries, just serve. I'd highly reccommend the Air Force however. We get treated better, better accommodations, and you should see the fire stations we have, many are huge (the one on Keesler AFB for example). Your not going to get that with the other branches.
Where can i find information about becoming a civilian undercover law enforcement agent?
Get your GED. This is the minimum requirement for law enforcement employment. You want to work in schools, so start out by getting your education. Confidential informants don't make a living wage. If you want to work undercover, you'll have to become a law enforcement officer by meeting the requirements of an LE agency. Talk to a counselor at your community college and find out how far away you are from getting your GED. You won't be sorry. Good luck.
How to become a criminologist in ireland?
People who have studied criminology will be able to pursue a number of careers depending on their qualifications. If you combine criminology with psychology (or study forensic psychology) you could end up doing youth work, working in the area of offender rehabilitation, becoming a civilian project worker with the Gardaí (diversion projects etc), or working in the prison system as a therapist (after further training). You could also end up working with some of the many NGOs and community development groups that focus on crime prevention and offender rehab. You could work as a researcher and become an academic or assist on projects carried out by academics or get involved in further education in areas like social studies & restorative justice. Alternatively you could combine your studies with journalism and become a crime/courts reporter. Fás have a website called career directions that lists how to get in to certain careers. There is also a jobs site called community exchange that lists some of the jobs you might be interested in.
What can EOD transfer into in the civilian world?
If you still want to work with explosives (without a college degree), you can get a job clearing bomb ranges, becoming a pyrotechnician in the entertainment industry (movie/music/firework), work in construction or mining industry (demolition), work in PMC's etc... You can also try to become a civilian instructor at EOD School (you will need more than just a Basic EOD Qualification). If you have a degree, you can try to work with local/federal law enforcement agencies (FBI, ATF, US Secret Service, Homeland Security) as a Bomb Technician & Investigator/Technical Security Division Agent/Bomb Appraisal Officer; you may need to be a Master Blaster - Master EOD, though. And keep in mind that you will have to get certified as a civilian bomb tech - Hazardous Devices School (military qualifications are not, directly, transferable to civilian); and also, many police departments (many of them require at least 2 years college education + military experience), may require you to be a beat-cop for few years before you can go to the Bomb Squad (and it can be very competitive to get a spot; there is not a whole lot of Bomb Tech. in the squad). Keep in mind that military qualification/experience is not a replacement for a college degree in many civilian employers' eyes. You can also get a degree specifically aim at working with explosives in the military industry (R&D of weapons, explosives safety equipment etc...). Also, if you are planning to stay in for only 4-6 years, try to get at least a "Senior EOD," since it would look better than a "Basic EOD." And it is EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE DISPOSAL.
Military Pay vs. Civilian Pay.?
Believe it or not, your average 18-year old private fresh out of basic makes more than your average 18-year old civilian with no education further than high school or a GED. Then you add on the benefits and it is more than it seems. Free medical versus a $100+ a month insurance policy with a deductible? Extra pay just for getting married? Up to $4500 Tuition Assistance a year for school? Those are some of the things people don't think about when they compare the pay. As a married E-6 I make more than your average person in my area with a bachelor's degree and I am taking classes for free to get a degree of my own. Besides the benefits, most people join to serve their country. I'm pretty sure your boyfriend already told you his reasons to serve but if he didn't you can always ask. EDIT: Yes, the extra money for being married is true. The service member gets Basic Allowance for Housing if they are married or live off-post. If they are in basic, AIT, or stationed in Korea or another dependent-restricted tour they will receive the rate for where their depedents are located at the time. If they are at their permanent duty station in the US or deployed then they will receive the rate for the duty station regardless where the depedents are located. You can see the rates by entering your ZIP code here and the rank of your boyfriend here: http://perdiem.hqda.pentagon.mil/perdiem... Also, they receive $250 a month extra when they are deployed or are on any other assignment that keeps them apart from their dependents (it doesn't count if your spouse simply doesn't want to move to your base since that isn't considered the fault of the military).
Does civilian consultant really exist? Do they get paid?

What was the process of Ireland becoming an independent republic like? Was it similar to Scotland?
Well really it was just as with todays Brexit, the Ulster Protestants caused it. The UK parliament had decided back in 1914 (?) that Ireland would be granted autonomy, but then came WW1 and the whole thing was put on hold. The pot was boiling in Irl and the Ulster Protestants put out their threat that “Ulster will fight and Ulster will be right”, and to prove it imported a whole lot of arms.This was of course more or less a declaration of war on the as yet to be formed Irish state, the British govt. sided with the UP’s and there was a guerilla war in Irl between the British and the Irish nationalists, which ended as the predecessor 0f the present political situation, a 2-nation structure. Finally in 1949, the Irish Republic was declared.
ARMY RESERVE AND CIVILIAN POLICE OFFCER!?
Your plan sounds good. Understand that becoming an MP will probably not increase your chances of becoming a police officer any more that any other job in the military. What increases your chances is being a veteran and being in the military. So make sure there aren't any other jobs that you might be more interested in. Any computer related job and intelligence job would be what I might consider. I would try to become a 35L at some point (this is not an entry level job) or a 35M. Make college a priority. Get at least a 4 year degree. Get the highest grade point average that you can. Also, criminal justice might be a good choice for you, but many people would suggest choosing a different major. There are many good majors for police officers and people that want to become police officers. Accounting, communications, computer science, a foreign language, forensic science, and psychology are some examples. Best of luck!
