Can I Get Into Military Police As An Officer With History Degree?
I recently graduated college with a History Degree, because I figured I can use it later in life and I am hoping of getting into the Marines soon as an officer. From what I was able to dig up, enlisted Marines are trained to be MPs, but officers need to have degrees pertaining to criminal justice or at least have experience. Is there a way for me to get trained or gain some knowledge that would enable me to get into military police without going back to school and getting another degree?

2 AnswersFord7 years agoIf 5.56 ammo is used in the military for better performance, then why do we still have .223?
If you are not supposed to use 5.56 ammo in .223 rifles due to the higher pressure buildup in the barrels, then why not just make all 5.56/.223 rifles 5.56 compatible? Why have two different, but identical pieces of ammo?
I understand that the military uses 5.56 for better velocity, so why not get rid of .223?
