Thinking of Joining the ARMY but How Much Will the Army Help Me?

Question by alex: Thinking of Joining the ARMY but how much will the Army help me?
So im 21 years old. I work full time and i take classes on criminal law. But i only take 1-2 classes every semester because my job limits my availability for school. On top of that.. I only took 1 class throughout my college career. I just recently went back to school so thats why I’m late. Im not getting any younger and it would take me YEARS to complete school at the rate im going right now. I just want to start my life already instead of working paycheck to paycheck, you know what i mean? Anyways my ultimate goal is join LAPD Gang unit division but i understand LAPD is very strict when it comes to the hiring process. Although i dont have a criminal record, i have a dirty past when it comes to stealing and drug abuse. I have never messed around with hard drugs but i do smoke weed on the daily. I know I have to stop and i will no doubt about it. So i was thinking to myself, why am i working at a dead-end job when i can be getting paid about the same or possibly more PLUS benefits doing Military Police that will actually help me in my future of becoming a cop. But my question is, How much will Military Police help me in becoming a cop? and will i finish school by the time i get out of my 1st term in the military? I live in Los Angeles so Im wondering which country is the most common to be deployed to as MP? Also, can I just apply to any Police Dept right after i get out of the army? I was thinking LAPD but knowing how tough it is to get hired by LAPD, maybe i should start off with the low dept such as Torrance PD, Pasadena PD, or Santa Ana PD…Please help me Thanks…

Answer by The Questioner
Not very much, MP, MA and SF, are more of guards than actual cops. And as such they don’t assist in becoming a police officer anymore than being infantry or tank crewman would.
