Expertise

I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.

Experience in the area

I have experience in both deployed and garrision environments as a Military Police Officer.

Education/Credentials

Bachelor of Science in Arabic and French from United States Military Academy at West Point.

What do you like about this subject?

Since I am a professional Soldier I love being able to help new and aspiring Soldiers make the best career choices or just inform their families about life in the military or how to get help. I will always assist as best I can.

I couldn't find any documentation that shows a program to take you out of the Navy and put you into the Army without you first finishing your contract with the Navy. Talk to an Army recruiter to make sure
