Hey man, I was in the same boat a few years ago. I did Security Forces in the Air Force since I wanted to see the world and get the GI Bill. If you want to be a cop, the military is an excellent choice. You're going to get "Veteran Points" on the written examination (nearly all police depts make you take a test). This means that you'll get +10% (like bonus points) on the test since you're a veteran. Many police departments require college, and an honorable discharge means that they'll waive anywhere from 50% to 100% of the required college credits (9 times out of 10). Also, you'll be a lot older and more disciplined when you get out so you can give school another shot (they pay for it via the GI bill, I get paid to go to school). I hated school in High School too, I struggled to hold up a 2.4 GPA. Now I'm holding down a 4.0 thanks to the discipline the military gave me.
 
I want to join the military but very confused on which branch to join. I want to be an mp but if I go army I want to go to Infantry but I dont think I would be able to handle a 12 month deployment. I was thinking if i join to be an mp might as well go sf in the airforce since im going to be doing the same thing but have better living quality.I was also thinking coast guard reserve because they specialize in law enforcement and my main goal in life is to become a police officer. Should I join the military to reach that goal? or should I TRY to go to college even though I"m not good in school and I hate it. I'm so stressed about this. I'm 18 and need to make my decision soon. I also was thinking that later in life if I dont end up joining the military I will always live thinking "what if". I'm very confused.
