Default Any Air Force or Navy guys here?

Have some questions and wanted to get advice about some specifics in the Air Force and Navy. I appreciate any help.

Prefer to stick to pms

I am looking into investigative/detective work after military so looking for advice of what jobs to look into. Also looking into the intelligence divisions

Just basic ones, like what is the day to day like.

Stuff I'd rather not post out on the board, alot of the info has to do with what position you are also.

I am looking into either intelligence or some kind of position that would help me become a police detective/government agent that does investigation work.

Navy or Air Force.

Ya if you are getting your degree, go into OCS. When my brother graduated from college, he went straight into the marines as a 2nd lieutenant.
