Heading to MEPS for the physical and written in a couple weeks and I still havent decided on an MOS. I know my MOS depends on how I score on my written. I know it also depends on what security clearance i qualify for. I have been looking through all of the MOS descriptions and listings and there are a number i am interested in. Just to give you my background really quick so you can determine what i might be qualified for or disqualified for first...
I have a college degree and masters degree, both in criminal justice. I do have an underage drinking ticket. With those came charges that were dropped, without conviction, of possession of a fake ID and running from the cops, all of which pretty much DQ me from OCS (long story short, i was at a house party at college that the cops busted, everyone ran, I got caught).
I am hoping to use this military experience as a stepping stone for federal police work and also to cancel out the black mark of the charges on my record. I want to get into Intel or some sort of specialized tactical training (i.e. EOD, airborne, etc.), essentially something that give me a leg up in weapons training/experience above that of the avg infantry man.
Anyways, based off of anyones experience or knowledge, is there any MOS i should aim for or might help? I know my charges DQ me from certain MOS's, but any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
