Hello everybody,
I am writing on here to day to inquire about future steps in my military career. I am a SGT (P) in an over strength MOS (Military Police - 31B) I have been in for 8 years and a few months, and am considering going Green - to - Gold. The reason I am on here asking about this topic is because I do not know where to start and with whom to talk to. I will soon be receiving my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice (I have 4 classes left), and I am basically wondering if it is just too later to start and am I getting my hopes up for no reason. If anyone has any idea on where to start, who to talk to, or even if anyone on here has gone through the process and can hopefully talk offline through email about the steps that I need to take, that would be GREAT!

Shoot me an e-mail. I did Green-to-Gold and can probably answer most of your questions.

If you can get accepted to Green to Gold it's a great plan. If not have a back up plan. This program will be much smaller in the next few years so it will be harder to be selected.
Good luck
