Marine Corps Military Police - Enlisted or Officer?
I'm a college junior majoring in Criminal Justice. My long-term goal is to get a job with a Federal Law Enforcement Agency like the FBI, NCIS, US Marshal's, etc. I've also always been interested in joining the Marine Corps. I know I would enjoy military police, but what would be better? Enlisted MP or Officer MP? From what I've read, being an officer would mostly just be desk work, whereas enlisted would be in the field. So would enlisted be better for someone looking for a future career with the Feds?

- You would do far better to serve as an officer if you want to pursue federal law enforcement.
- Both would be good. I would suggest becoming an officer if possible. Becoming an agent with the FBI, the NCIS, etc. is often very competitive. You should make yourself the best candidate that you can. Get as much education as you can. Consider earning an advanced degree if possible. Learn as much as you can, and earn the highest GPA that you can while in college. Make yourself as knowledgeable as you can about computers. Whatever path you choose, do the best that you can. Be a good person, and maintain a good reputation. There are many things to consider when thinking about becoming a law enforcement officer.
