I got a question if you dont mind answering. I was looking at joining and aiming towards MP. How is the living at AIT For MPs may i ask? Is it basically like an extended Basic as were there is no slack?
To everyone who is shipping out soon. MP OSUT is one of the longest and hardest training. It will be a long time til you'll get to see your family. It will be mentally difficult. Just message me if you have any questions. I will gladly answer.
woooooo cant wait!!! 31 bravo is the shiiit xD i ship out march 5 2012 leonardwood :) pvt. Arellano :P hopefully by then ill b pfc. hahaha doubt it though cant find any referrals :/
hey casalozer i am also a female enlisted in the army and i chose mp for mos as well. I leave for basic in fort leonardwood on feb.14 2012 what about you? im really nervous about it too but i think it will def be a cool experience and worth the hard work
I just recently enlisted into the army. i am a female and my mos is a military police officer. I am really nervous though about all the training. i dont leave till February, any advice or self experience anyone can tell me will be helpful. :)
@Loweyes34 what if someone is a split option, they already completed BCT last year and this year are going back to MP AIT. How long is AIT if it has been split?
@smildonfatalis1 I believe the height requirement is 5'2" You may want to check with a recruiter, they will know for sure and give you the information if there is a waiver possible for that too. Good Luck!
from what ive been told, and correct me if i'm wrong... but if your a military police men and try to get a job at a civilian department, they won't hire you first, or at all in some cases because of the "bad habits" they picked up in the military. Ive gone to school for law enforcement, and was told this from both ex military and ex police officers including a chief of police. Is military policing that much different from civilian? Uniform code of justice vs. constituition?
@Doughboyhq Same advice I'd give anyone going for any MOS. Start waking up at 0400 (according to whatever time zone you'll be in, Central in your case), eat healthy, exercise (especially running), learn Army ranks, memorize the Army Song, Soldier's Creed, General Orders, and in your case Military Police Creed. If you use any tobacco products, QUIT NOW. Best of luck.
I am 25 I have finly decided to do somthing with my life. I am going MP looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Do MP's get more arms training than infintry ( spelling sucks I know)
@lot0210 Infantry? No. Two seemingly similar but very different jobs. Infantrymen fight, capture or kill the enemy, and take and hold ground. Military Police enforce the law, ensure security for military personnel, their families, and civilians. This is taught from day-one, but anyone knows that OSUT doesn't begin to compare with training with your line unit. Marksmanship, martial arts, and physical fitness are still important, but law enforcement is emphasized also.
@ spartan....31B here....u actually get to do stuff as MP. Small arms repair you sit in the arms room and clean weapons and fix them all day. Boring job. MP ALL THE WAY
i need help...i have 2 choose between becoming an MP and becoming a Small Arms/Artillery Repairer...workin with guns would be fun as a civilian job and i plan 2 get a degree as a teacher so i think the Gunsmith job is in someways better 2 secure my future...but there's no adventure...and if the world ends in 2012 i would probably be left feeling hollow...not 2 mention my dad was an MP in Vietnam...but my mom worked in an Armory(she was a Quartermaster) any help will be appreciated...thanx
@Spartanwarrioromega this comment is incredibly late and youve probably chosen by now, but if you become an MP you could get a civilian job and an officer aswell..
Uhhh bro if you plan on being a teacher, the military isn't for you, unless you find a job that the military has that has something to do with teaching a class, and by teaching I mean by actual school subjects. I'm not trying to rain down on your future/plans but what makes you think 31B MP or 91F small arms/artillery repairer have to do with teaching a school. I want to work for a civilian p.d so I chose 31B MP as a push to the civilian police field. Think ahead bro.
Those were my 2 favorite choices two but mp offers you alot more when you get out and combat engineer I heard is a misirable job but thats just want ive heard I dont wanna offened any combat engineers
yeah, you may want to check with the National Guard's 838th Military Police Company. It looks like they do a lot of Law and Order or Detainee Operations.
If you want free stuff, you should have joined the Air Force. I hear they have there own room where your drill instructor tucks you in at night and your battle buddy brings you french toast in the morning...
the kilitary is the military plain and simple. Wthout the marines and the army, the airforce would be nothing! without the air support of the airforce the ground forces like the army would be wiped out in a snap! u dont understand anything!
well I will tell you what Private proObamaman123, I think you will have a wake up call once you get to FT. Leonardwood. When you get out and get deployed, I hope you would get assigned to my squad. I would square you away. After I smoke the snot out of you for disrespecting. I'm confident that after your in for a couple of years you will make a good soldier. But right now your just a civilian trying to tell a veteran how the military works. Not too smart bud...
by the way.......that was my brother Jarret who was talking to u....my name is kellen and im only a freshmen in high school and the owner of this account! I have much respect for the military but listen here, from what i read, ur arguement has no clear point! basicly what u tried to say is the price of the army is getting killed!!!! thats not what my brother meant. what he meant to say is when u join the military, food is free, living quarters, and equipment!
No, my point was that NOTHING is free in the Army. Not food, not living quarters, or the uniform. I dont know about you guys, but I earned every piece of my uniform, I earned the right to eat chow with my brothers, and I earned the right to fight with them. The Army does not just give that stuff away. YOU EARN IT!! What part of this point dont you get?? This makes TWO (2) Civilians telling me how the Army is. This conversation is done. I hope you enjoyed the video. I put it up for you. ;)
ok you earn ur right to eat food? and second my point is YOU DO NOT PAY CASH MONEY FOR YOUR FOOD LIVING QUARTERS, OR UNIFORMS......TAXPAYERS DO! POINT MADE.....NOW ITS DONE!!!!!!
And we are not the "killitary" we also build schools, provide aid and supplies to less fortunate populations. We dont just storm buildings and kill people. Its not Hollywood. alot of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears go into what we do. If you ever join (god help us) you will understand what I mean.
Military is how some young people get out of their problems in the economy because every thing is free healthcare, food, uniforms, all that good stuff provided by me and yous tax dollars! see, things are used for good people
If you ever served in the military you will know that NOTHING comes free! Everything has a sacrifice in some way or another. You try and look your wife and kids in the eyes and tell them you are leaving and might not come home. You stare into the whites of someones eyes before you shoot and kill them or they blow themselves up! It is my fellow brothers in arms that afford someone like YOU the ability to speak your mind. Make sure you do it with RESPECT.
well sad my friend, well said. How dare u ProObamaman dis respect the men and women serving our wonderful country and the sacrafices that they make so people like you dont have to.
what the hell are u talking about!?!?!?! what i said was the army air force coast gaurd and navy is paid for with our tax dollars! what i said had NOTHING to to with troops sacrificing their lives overseas for our country!
whatever kid your not even a tax payer. and fyi, only about 33% of the tax dollars go toward national defense, whilst 12.5 of it is crap like interest.
To be quite frank, i'd rather see a bigger percentage of those taxes going toward national defense.
No sir, you are missing the point, the housing is called BAH, and what you call "free food" is paid to us as subsistence. When you are on the clock 24 hours a day for and get paid $45 as an E1 for 24 hours of work. That is 1.87 per hour. well then you could add BAH and subsistence pay for food, that would equal what you civilians would earn in a normal job. Instead of being concerned about the military pay, you should look into what a senator makes.
Oh one more thing proObamaman, thanks to your dad for serving, and I am sure he knows some things about the military, but you obviously dont. People in the military dont get anything for free! you shouldnt worry about your tax dollars supporting our troops, you should worry about the crooks of politicians that you obviously support. and what are they doing with our tax dollars. I pay taxes too you know. Your concerns are misdirected. Please educate yourself a little more in regards to the world
remember that the 20,000 bonus comes in payments , the first payment comes after graduation an its only 7,500 , then u get paid the rest throughout the duration of your enlistment
You will need to check with your local recruiter. Check with Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard to see who has the right offer for you. I joined for service to country, not a bonus......
nah, not a punch to your face. Everyone has a different reason for joining. But the economy is in such condition as to where a 20k bonus would help a lot of people.
no your mp training will just look good on your background but you would have to go through the same thing as some guy that was never sitting on his ass and one ay said i am going to become a cop.
your video is so much better than the one my son brought home from USAMPS in '07. he didn't get any live footage of the 'gas chamber' on his DVD- only photos. this is a real nice summary of the training. thanks for sharing it! hooah!
I signed up for MP in the Army Reserve so i could stay in college. I got sick of college after less that a year and now am stuck going to MP training. I wish I could switch to Active Duty and go infantry before I go to MP training... fuck my life
So? Knock out your basic and AIT and go active as soon as you get out of training. You can change MOS's on your new contract if you want, or stay MP. 2 1/2 months of active pay during AIT will be good for you, and so will the extra MOS on your record.
jdmorgan23 is absolutely correct. If its not what you want to do switch to what makes you happy. I have been an MP now for two years and have a chance to change to 74d and go to air assault school. having two MOS's will sure make look good.
11b Is harder as in any Military Infantryman training is gonna be harder you go to Fort Benning Georgia I belive and I know thats hard shit cause thats first phase of Ranger school.
MPs are one of the most deployed MOS's...if you sign a six year contract you are almost guaranteed to be deployed...i love being an MP but if you dont want to deploy find something else
Oh no its not that i dont wanna be deployed...I would be honored to fight for my country.....I just want to know if I will be on a US base for a long time??
all depends on where you get stationed...one of my friends from basic trainning/AIT was deployed 2 months after graduation...another one of my buddies is an Honor Gaurd MP and wont be deployed for two years...all depends
it all depends where you go...one of my buddies from basic/ait was deployed two months after our graduation to Iraq...another one of my buddies became an Honor Guard MP and wont be deployed for 2 years...it all depends where you go
i have a friend who just went infantry and i mentioned being an MP. His older brother was straight infantry and his second brother was air defense. They call it a job that lets u hide behind ur badge and do nothing. I dont want to guard bases all day and i dont want to be out in field to long either. I dont mind but i dont perfer? is that the case for being an Mp, you get the taste of both a somewhat infantry role and a police officer of some sort?
The thing about being an MP is that not to many people will like you. How many people really like cops? The reality is that MPs are one of the most deployed MOS's. For example in my graduating platoon only 12 are doing patrolling and doing police work. There are 15 who already are in Iraq or Afghanistan and the rest are National Guard or Reserve and I only graduated a few months ago. MP's are almost like infantry with the exception that we stay mounted and infantry rucks everywhere.
Yes....NON-COMBAT.....Not in a war zone...Like in america ....Or abroad not in a war zone......Im aware what a MP does i just want some details........
In the current wartime climate, MP's often act as light motorized infantry in theater, and as law enforcement/ combat support readiness at home (if you go active). MP's are the defense, Infantry is the offense.
Would anyone recommend going into the US Army right out of high school. I want to be a MP officer or a medic. My grandpa was a medic in the Korean War and got a Purple heart. I want to do this for him. Any suggestions?
well if your going medic go into a emt first and see if you like it if you do then go right for it but if you want to became a mp go right out of high school
Don't do it unless you really want to do it for yourself first. Because there will be a time when your doing PT and you are tired and want to quit. make sure you go for the right reasons.
Is anyone leaving in August 26th? I was just sworn in yesterday and now have to wait until the end of summer. Well I guess its more time to get in better shape.
i'll let u know that the time that you'll be there it's going to be really really cold and u have to walk everywhere pretty much and do pt in the cold but be mentally ready and buy some calling cards b4 u go
because u cant use your cell phone and the calling cards that they sell there are kinda expensive so if u can get some cheap b4 u go you'll be better off but when u get there they give u a $250 advancement pay
apprenitly they are starting a new program where they will hand out cell phones after red phase to the soldiers on sundays during basic for like an hour to call there family... i know some in Ft. Benning who is 11B and they are allowing them to do it.
aaaaw so peocessing isn't counted in that 19 weeks? I was counting on my husband being home at a certain date...he just got picked up for basic today... poor guy
i believe its about 9 weeks i have to ask my recruiter though, because im starting bootcamp in the summer hopefully for 9 weeks and he said its another 9 for MP
Im shipping out April 19... I can't wait

whatever kid your not even a tax payer. and fyi, only about 33% of the tax dollars go toward national defense, whilst 12.5 of it is crap like interest.
To be quite frank, i'd rather see a bigger percentage of those taxes going toward national defense.

im talkin about money not human life itself!
proObamaman123 2 years ago
No sir, you are missing the point, the housing is called BAH, and what you call "free food" is paid to us as subsistence. When you are on the clock 24 hours a day for and get paid $45 as an E1 for 24 hours of work. That is 1.87 per hour. well then you could add BAH and subsistence pay for food, that would equal what you civilians would earn in a normal job. Instead of being concerned about the military pay, you should look into what a senator makes.

Oh one more thing proObamaman, thanks to your dad for serving, and I am sure he knows some things about the military, but you obviously dont. People in the military dont get anything for free! you shouldnt worry about your tax dollars supporting our troops, you should worry about the crooks of politicians that you obviously support. and what are they doing with our tax dollars. I pay taxes too you know. Your concerns are misdirected. Please educate yourself a little more in regards to the world

remember that the 20,000 bonus comes in payments , the first payment comes after graduation an its only 7,500 , then u get paid the rest throughout the duration of your enlistment
bear071388 2 years ago
Its true that if you sing the contract for 6 years as a MP reserve army give you a bonus of 20,000?
Captus15 2 years ago
You will need to check with your local recruiter. Check with Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard to see who has the right offer for you. I joined for service to country, not a bonus......
ricmictol 2 years ago
its that a right punch to my face? lol i know god bless you ......Respect
Captus15 2 years ago
nah, not a punch to your face. Everyone has a different reason for joining. But the economy is in such condition as to where a 20k bonus would help a lot of people.

no your mp training will just look good on your background but you would have to go through the same thing as some guy that was never sitting on his ass and one ay said i am going to become a cop.

your video is so much better than the one my son brought home from USAMPS in '07. he didn't get any live footage of the 'gas chamber' on his DVD- only photos. this is a real nice summary of the training. thanks for sharing it! hooah!

I signed up for MP in the Army Reserve so i could stay in college. I got sick of college after less that a year and now am stuck going to MP training. I wish I could switch to Active Duty and go infantry before I go to MP training... fuck my life
BigChiefMike 2 years ago
So? Knock out your basic and AIT and go active as soon as you get out of training. You can change MOS's on your new contract if you want, or stay MP. 2 1/2 months of active pay during AIT will be good for you, and so will the extra MOS on your record.
jdmorgan23 2 years ago
jdmorgan23 is absolutely correct. If its not what you want to do switch to what makes you happy. I have been an MP now for two years and have a chance to change to 74d and go to air assault school. having two MOS's will sure make look good.

How often do MPs get stationed at a NON-COMBAT base?? I really wanna join in january as an MP but i want to know all the facts!
biggabesons 2 years ago
MPs are one of the most deployed MOS's...if you sign a six year contract you are almost guaranteed to be deployed...i love being an MP but if you dont want to deploy find something else
npo2213 2 years ago
Oh no its not that i dont wanna be deployed...I would be honored to fight for my country.....I just want to know if I will be on a US base for a long time??
biggabesons 2 years ago
all depends on where you get stationed...one of my friends from basic trainning/AIT was deployed 2 months after graduation...another one of my buddies is an Honor Gaurd MP and wont be deployed for two years...all depends
npo2213 2 years ago
it all depends where you go...one of my buddies from basic/ait was deployed two months after our graduation to Iraq...another one of my buddies became an Honor Guard MP and wont be deployed for 2 years...it all depends where you go
npo2213 2 years ago
OHH ok gottcha! Thanks so much for talking with me!
biggabesons 2 years ago
i have a friend who just went infantry and i mentioned being an MP. His older brother was straight infantry and his second brother was air defense. They call it a job that lets u hide behind ur badge and do nothing. I dont want to guard bases all day and i dont want to be out in field to long either. I dont mind but i dont perfer? is that the case for being an Mp, you get the taste of both a somewhat infantry role and a police officer of some sort?
GENERALZAPATA 2 years ago
The thing about being an MP is that not to many people will like you. How many people really like cops? The reality is that MPs are one of the most deployed MOS's. For example in my graduating platoon only 12 are doing patrolling and doing police work. There are 15 who already are in Iraq or Afghanistan and the rest are National Guard or Reserve and I only graduated a few months ago. MP's are almost like infantry with the exception that we stay mounted and infantry rucks everywhere.
npo2213 2 years ago
what do you mean NON-COMBAT? there is kinda a little war going on, and MP is a combat MOS.
SPAMROKS 2 years ago
Yes....NON-COMBAT.....Not in a war zone...Like in america ....Or abroad not in a war zone......Im aware what a MP does i just want some details........
biggabesons 2 years ago
In the current wartime climate, MP's often act as light motorized infantry in theater, and as law enforcement/ combat support readiness at home (if you go active). MP's are the defense, Infantry is the offense.

Would anyone recommend going into the US Army right out of high school. I want to be a MP officer or a medic. My grandpa was a medic in the Korean War and got a Purple heart. I want to do this for him. Any suggestions?
AZDACKSGaming 2 years ago
well if your going medic go into a emt first and see if you like it if you do then go right for it but if you want to became a mp go right out of high school
amblefire 2 years ago

AZDACKSGaming 2 years ago
Don't do it unless you really want to do it for yourself first. Because there will be a time when your doing PT and you are tired and want to quit. make sure you go for the right reasons.

because u cant use your cell phone and the calling cards that they sell there are kinda expensive so if u can get some cheap b4 u go you'll be better off but when u get there they give u a $250 advancement pay

apprenitly they are starting a new program where they will hand out cell phones after red phase to the soldiers on sundays during basic for like an hour to call there family... i know some in Ft. Benning who is 11B and they are allowing them to do it.
