I believe but im not sure so ill ask again are females eligible for the mos mp? If so I would hope there are some on this board, and what is the training for becoming an mp. I think ive made up my mind and im going to join the army reserve in the dep .

I not female, but yes there are female mp's. As for the training you learn to become a soilder then you learn law enforcment. To get a greater knowledge of what you will go through look at other posts, log onto th USAMPS website, or do a google search. Good Luck!

Prepare to do detention operations as an MP.

what are detention operations...dont sound to good.

Involves sitting at a desk at the head of the classroom watching all the malcontents who didn't turn in their homework, were late for class or otherwise misbehaved. Watch out for spit-balls!

MP is the closest thing most females will ever get to actually being combat arms. If you ask enough people on this particular thread, you find out that most of them have been in combat. MP really stands for Multi-Purpose.

Detention OPS are what we refer to when we really mean to say : Enemy Prisoner of War, Civilian Internees (insurgents), and criminals. All MPs come into contact with this at some time in their career. It sucks, but that is the way it is.

Hey, i am a female, and i just did complete the MP training at Fort Leonard Wood. If you do have any questions about anything feel free to ask!

If your a female MP, stay clear of Korea unless you really want to be queen for a year.

Korea, especially up north in 2 ID area, there isn't that many female Soldiers so the few that are there have not much problem dating.

JB, that has got to be the most sensitive, delicate phrasing I have ever heard to explain that particular axiom! LOL!

were the hell do some of you morons get your info, female mp's can be on the road, I was pulled over by a female mp (for you female mp's) YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A ***** TO GET YOU POINT ACROSS! i had a head light/w a loose wire i did'ent know this, well this mp ***** rip me up one side and down the other, as polite as I could I told her as soon as she let me go I was going to go back to my motor pool and fix the light, 20 mins later this ***** is still telling me to get this light fixed. well at that point she found out just how I felt, I told her to ither take me in or get the hell out of my face I went back to the motor pool to fix the light!!

no offense...but dude...get over it. we do our job just like you do yours...granted there are *******s and *****es in every MOS...but welcome to the military and life.

I'm sure you'll do fine. The training is not as difficult as it once was, and the location isn't as hot as it used to be when the MP school was at FT. McClellan.

My unit has quite a few female MP's. And we are not an L&O unit. We are strictly combat support. They did an excellent job in Iraq and are very professional by all army standards.

I would have no problem following a female MP into combat as long as she did her job as any other soldier would.

When I was at FLW (in 2000) it was condition Black for the heat index....look forward to some hot-as-hell days...

I ship to FLW a couple weeks after you, 27 Jun, also for MP school. HOOAH!

Well, I am a female MP and be prepared to pack your own weight! I just finished my MP school in California (I was reclassed). Hold your own ground and do your job and you'll do fine. I joined cuz it's the closest to infantry as I could get. I'm happy with it though. Just remember to soldier up and work hard!!!
