Army National Guard

I like the other Criminal Justice students who say they want to be tactical police snipers, when police have marksmen, not snipers. Sniping isnt all about the guns, its about camoflauge, concealment, stealthy movement, observation, etc.

I actually have classmates in my Criminal Justice class who admit they only want to become a cop so they can drive fast and carry a gun.

Then the professors says "who here wants to be ERT/SWAT" and literally 3/4 of the class raises their hands.

I just came from my Criminal Investigations class today and almost half the class wanted to be FBI. A couple wanted to be DEA or ATF.

I'm studying to be a DEA Agent or FBI actually.
Definitely not ATF though.

This one student said he was planning on being a lawyer and the class sneered at him.

My prof joked at some guy in class when he said he wanted to be a defense lawyer and said that prosecutor all the way.

I want to be a k9 officer, SRT too but theres a deifference between big city SWAT teams and an SRT team.

Depending on whether I actually like the National Guard I may join an active duty branch later on.

Id like to go active after college but the current admistration cut DHS's budget so theres a waiting list to go to basic (they start recruiting in 2010 again) and going active takes up to 2 years, so im hoping that changes.
