hey guys i haven't enlisted yet and am in the process i am all qualified and just waiting for a job, my goal is to be a military police investigator, is it possible for me to get this school/job in my contract for the army reserves? and if so what is the process and what do i need to do to get it in the contract?
At my old Reserve Military Police Company, only two of us were V5s (MP Investigators).
Curt and I both attended the course while on Active Duty. I never heard of the course being offered to anyone at the Reserve unit. It may not be possible, though there are Army National Guard CID agents. That's a possibility to strive for.
No, it's absolutely possible to go to MPI while in the Guard or Reserve, I've seen it. Now, going to the school and actually performing MPI functions in the USAR or ARNG are two different things. If you're looking to do investigations on the Reserve Component side of the house, you could go 31B(MP), then go Warrant Officer a few years later(CID). The criteria to become a warrant has really changed a lot due to the shortage and it's easier than it used to be to go that route.
Be prepared to deploy OFTEN if you go CID though. More than line company MP's from my experience. Good luck.
