Are you in the Navy or use to be, if so could you please answer some questions please?

We Answered:

Currently with just a GED you will be turned away. The Navy is meeting all enlistment goals and beyond that so they are requiring a GED with 15 college credits or more. You then have to score decent on the ASVAB test. Master at Arms is the Police in the Navy but currently that is overmanned in many areas so getting into it and advancing will be hard. MAs are not always stationed on ships but in fact on shore more around the world. If you go into something else not MAs it will then depend on what you are doing to how much you are at sea. These days you do have emails so you can communicate some while you are out to sea. When you are in port you can talk to them

To be an Officer in the Civilian police force yes you do need a degree in most locations that need police officers. Some will take you but others will not. You can go to college while in the Navy using the Tuition Assistance & CLEP Programs.
