I'm more looking towards a career in law enforcement, but anything works. Could always do Army/USAF as a career.
Why would you put MP/SF in the list? Thats the most shit job you can possibly get in the AF. PJs training is grueling...basically they are the jocks of the AF. You name it, they basically train for it. Tactical Controllers (TacP) are the guys who are imbedded with the Army and calls in air support. That means you live with the Army in Army conditions with Army deployments. You might as well have joined the Army and get more money.

The hell do you even mean by requirements? You mean fucking ASVAB score? If you cant score a 40 in your ASVAB, you're a fucking waste of oxygen. Besides, its the same minimum requirement to get into the fucking Marine Corps. As far as degrees, you make it sound like its given to us. Its the same shit for all branches, you get your job training and you get college credits for it. Its still not enough to get you shit, you still have to go to school and get more prerequisite to get a lousy Associates Degree.

Youre in the navy and you say that you're job doesnt get shit...you should have gotten some college credit unless you work in the fucking Galley as a cook. You might get some college credit for Culinary Arts.

1N431 NETWORK INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS APPRENTICE
1N631 ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS SECURITY ASSESSMENT APPRENTICE
2A631 AEROSPACE PROPULSION APPRENTICE
2A635 AIRCRAFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS APPRENTICE

In order from most desired to least. Basically, kinda like open mec. and open gen. haha.

And then today I got a 2 dollar bill sent in the mail as a thank you for taking the ASVAB? haha
Why oh why did you come in open anything. Thats how you get fucked. Always always ALWAYS come in guranteed a job that you want. If you get one of those 4 jobs, kiss your lucky stars cuz you fucking lucked out. You better hold your breath that those AFSC got openings for a 1 level when you get done with basic. If not, your shits out of luck...and welcome to being SF.

You want a good job in the AF...Air Traffic Controllers. 4 yrs in, get the fuck out and work FAA making $75k starting salary with a $15k raise at every position you get qualified in. Another job is Biomedical, maintaining hospital equipment. You get certified, you can work outside and make decent money as a side job while youre in the AF. X-Ray tech is good too but I think its overmanned in the AF right now since a buttload of folks crosstrained into it 4 yrs ago. Same thing with 3C0s (computer/networking AFSC).

Then again, any job that you can do where you can get a Top Secret Clearance will gurantee you a job outside.
