I was an MP and we did have some "super cops" that had attitudes. I tried hard to remember that we were "of the troops, for the troops". We all make mistakes, I'd rather give someone a ride home rather than turn them in and ruin their lives.

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

Amen and Old School, Thanks.

[@chrisle2674]

his analogy about MP's and rank is not correct though. I saw a MP get blasted by a SSG MP for disrespecting my 1SG at the time. We went to pick up a Soldier from the Marne cooler I was an E-6 at the time. A MP told are 1SG your Soldier is a dumb ass and is a direct reflecting of you. SSG MP stepped in and told him he is getting smoked after the shift is over.

[@ChrisJohnston1138]

@@chrisle2674 He should have, I would have done the same. There is a difference between your authority as an MP giving you the ability to do your job and being a disrespectful ass. That MP was being an ass and I hope he still feels the pain from the smoking he got.

[@youn1700]

I think it really is the way their school treats them. I was chem corp on Annistan in 1988 and the other side of the base was the MP school. We generally went to classes, got yelled at and had to learn a huge amount of technical stuff. The issue with the MPs at that point, was their classes with us felt like we were in classes with Marines instead of US army. They get yelled at for everything, the are very spit and polished, 99% of the time. And when an MP drill sergeant was in charge of the Chem corp, we felt like they were trying to implement their abuse on us. This isn't to say a chemical corp soldier isn't disciplined. It's just sort of the difference between say an Infantry soldier and an Honor guard soldier. They might be trained the same way, but you would expect the Honor guard to be punished for uniform defects.

our mp was cool with me getting smoked by my nco infront of them instead of me getting a ticket

[@perryklein1790]

I was an E-4 with the Alcohol and Drug Control Office, and when soldiers came to see me, they were in trouble. I've sent MP's, Drill Sergeants, and Commissioned Officers to treatment against their will. I was so hated, that I got BAQ, because they didn't want me living in the barracks. I once told a LTC to take the cotton out of his ears, and put it in his mouth. I had a Second Lieutenant who was involved in a DUI on post; she asked me if she could have a Officer Counselor. LOL! I did help a lot of Soldiers though. This one Private turned up positive for Cannabis, and claimed that he accidentally hate a hash brownie. I informed his First Sergeant that this was plausible, and h got off with just a one week education program.

All individually smoked... fuck that they broke the rock) but they made me a better man! 1 beer per hour at the bar no more, rarely have whiskey at the bar. They might have hated you then but i bet later on they feel blessed to have had you jump up their ass and straighten them out. I know i am!!!

I spent 3 years in but two years in the Hospital recovering from my wounds from Vietnam. It took a lot of rehab on my own to pass the police tests. Well, 28 years later on the job, I found myself locking up guys I went to school that were beating their wives, drunk, drugs. There was NO sorry buddy, everybody goes with me. I treated everyone the same at all times and it worked out well. I was our Chief FTO and told my trainees, NEVER, NEVER LIE! A lie is never told the same way twice. That too paid off and I retired with a clean conscience!!!

Hi, sure there are those MP’s that think they are a gift to the Army. In my day I did both 95B and 95C training. There were times you had no other choice but to take someone in, but to the most part we gave people a break when possible. And we would drive people home if possible instead of letting them drive. Many times it would be senior NCO, that were getting ready to retire, we did not want them to lose their pensions. We would warn people but if they acted up then we had to act. Oh trouble was mostly from the wives when we got people home, it was always the same question from them, why did we let them get drunk? The next day they would call and apologize and thank us. I move on from street duty to my primary MOS 18C40 so I was placed in a fast reaction unit when needed. I still volunteered for street work when possible.

A squad of MPs in the field carry more firepower and can move around better than any infantry. JS, LOL

In the Army, my MOS's hated were: 1. anything related to medicine, dental or healthcare (these personnel often have god complexes, as a soldier patient, they order you about like drill sergeants ordering trainees to drop for pushups) 2. MP's, they often harrass you for traffic or vehicle related matters, PFC's as MP's have even demanded to be called SIR because they are "military police OFFICERS" 3. yes, armorers 4. desk personnel (supply, personnel, admin, paper pushers, bureaucrats), anybody with an assigned DESK in the military is arrogant 5. mess hall personnel Even more so than specfic MOS's, soldiers often hate other personnel superior in rank or position and especially drill sergeants and newly-minted officers. DOD civilians are also often hated because they sometimes dog soldiers, especially trainees. Certain positions and statuses are hated. Some of the most hated personnel are those working at MEPS and reception stations, military and civilans alike. I hated personnel in charge of aircraft or loading equipment on trains, planes etc. They are authoritative, bossy, like drill sergeants. If you hate backseat drivers, it often sucks to have a sergeant barking orders at you while your driving a vehicle. Oh, yes, piss test observers, often NCO's. They can get pissy, no pun intended, and impatient if the soldier has trouble producing promptly. You have no privacy unlike doing these tests in the civilian sector. I've been dropped for pushups, made to do side straddle hops, made to chug water and threatened with catheterization for not whizzing as fast as the sergeants like.

When I was in the Army I went to check my mail and hadn't received any. I commented to the mail clerk that I hadn't gotten any mail for a while. I wasn't complaining or anything, just an observation. He flared up at me and said "are you accusing me of tampering with your mail?" I said "no" that had never entered my mind. Well, I didn't get any mail for about 2 more weeks. Then my mailbox was stuffed with mail. The lesson was, don't do anything to get on the bad side of the mail clerk.

Their pay records could go missing for months, which meant no pay until those records are found. This was way back in the 70's before everything was computerized.

MPs...I remember in Iraq, they handed out tickets on base at BIAP. I never got a ticket, but knew soldiers who got caught speeding. Those tickets go to your command. That isn’t good for you if you get pulled over. Usually, that means remedial training. (edit) 11Bravo, guilty as charged. 🇺🇸

[@mr.k.i.s.s7496]

I never had to do that on deployment. The ONLY reason MPs did that was because the Commander of the Base said there were to many accidents, to much dust, or it just seemed against good order and discipline to THEM. I personally would not have liked that duty. I spent my time in Iraq, from Invasion to departure doing Patrols, EPW escorts, Supply Escorts, VIP Security, IP Support/Training, and Combat with whatever group was pointing an AK at me, or trying to blow us up with an IED.

[@Adam-om9hu]

I went to Iraq in 2008 as an MP. My company was doing patrols and moving detainees around to other FOB in Iraq. How crazy is it that there were MPs writing tickets in Iraq lol wtf but so true

While deployed, unless you were driving dangerously, the 1SG would tear up the tickets that landed on his desk.

[@outdoorlife5396]

I was S-1 and got tired of working all the time. The grunts would be sitting on there ass and chilling. Then you had to do all the grunt stuff. So I became an 11BP. Promotions was quicker, more chance for schools. Just do not let anyone know you can type that or drive a military vehicle. Just PMS those boots and the ruck, clean your weapon and you are off duty. Also when you know how a 4187 works, you will be the local hero, making stuff happen over night sometimes

[@reddevilparatrooper]

When I was in mech infantry, I made friends with the other battalion mechanics, POL guys, and Motor Sergeants. My PSG and PL along with my Squad Leader and the Platoon was grateful that our platoon never got dinged for any shortfalls on equipment. I borrowed and traded when parts or equipment was on order. On Battalion, Brigade, or Division inspections, when you have parts missing but later place it on order works. I have asked and traded items from POL, track pads, tools, heaters, and borrowed TA-50 for other guys for inspections. I kept shit hidden in cars and in the motor pool for when the occasion comes up. I was the platoon scrounger along with my 2 assistants "Will" and "Jerry" back at Ft. Carson back in 1988. The Army was a unique place to grow up in and learn some trades like networking. Will drives trucks and has an awesome car collection after he retired from the Army. Jerry became a repo man after getting out but became a car insurance guy after. Crazy fuckers going along with my scheme back in our old Army days. I am sure there are more guys in the current Army doing more sophisticated shit than mid 1980s parts trading.

[@VGMRMissCoriel]

Tons of people hated our EMMO (Evaluation team from HHB) But I was friends with them. My old platoon SSG was a part of it and I got to know the rest of EMMO. I got some nice perks, like no need to run drills for training since I'm teaching everyone their drills. My old platoon SSG always made sure I never passed my evals with a 100%, but will write me off as a 100 for the other drill (we have drills for PAC2 and PAC3). Nothing is more prestigious than a Specialist getting a high five from a Master Sergeant or a SFC and talking to them like you were invited to their house for a BBQ.

Fun fact: Your Not First

[@MattU4970]

The problem with cleaning weapons is that the arms room gives out dirty rags and equipment that won't clean your weapon properly. Solution: bring your own cleaning kit with some Dawn dishwashing liquid, and a container big enough for your bolt carrier group. Trust me, it works. As for S-1: I was a S-1 NCOIC, and yes all the stuff you suggested is illegal. Processes are processes and once anything leaves BN, it is out of the S-1's hands. The solution is to take responsibility for your own documents. When your leave form is approved, make several copies and take them with you when you sign out. Use a DA Form 200 when submitting documents. It's a receipt for your documents. Most of all, don't talk shit about S-1 personnel. Use a little professionalism and respect, and things will go better for you. In my shop, we never had special hours, and routinely stayed till to 1800 or later in order to help everyone who was in the shop prior to 1700. In all cases, understanding someone else's job goes a long way in how you treat those people, and how you are treated by them. If you talk shit about someone whose help you need, don't be surprised when you get treated like shit.

My best friend that I lived with at Bragg was an MP so that definitely was a plus. I knew when all the MP secrets were going on and got out of everything. I also had a friend loose a few leave forms after leave. Which lead to 72 days of terminal leave!!! I went on a month long vacation to the beach, 2 weeks with MP best friend in Missouri, 1 week with my dad, and started the first few weeks of college all while I was technically still in the Army on terminal leave! Also I was an 11B2P and yes we 11B Paratroopers even kinda look down on regular 11Bs because they are filthy legs! I mean who doesn't kinda look down on filthy legs! Especially a pog leg, they are just the lowest of the low! Of course it's all just in fun though, we are all part of the same Army family. Plus us 11Bs wouldn't get paid, fed, transported, or taken care of if it wasn't for those supposedly pog MOS personnel.

[@No_MoreFish]

That’s true about the parade rest deal. We can’t go the parade rest period while on shift, it’s for safety reasons as having our hands behind our band will make us a little slower to draw OC, taser, or our weapon.

One of the favorite part of being an Army Medic, is that when we did range days, that we got to fire whatever weapon that was on the range (1 stayed in the ambulance, 1 on the range ), was firing whatever leftover ammo was left over, but we didn’t have to clean that particular weapon, since we weren’t part of that particular unit.

[@Hell_Hound_Actual]

I don't care what career field someone served in, so long as they served to the best of their ability and got out honorably or retired as such. The branch of service, same thing there. I served 8 years in the USAF. I came in Security Forces (MP) and then cross trained out of that and into what at the time was called SOWT (Special Operations Weather Team/Special Recon). Today they call it Air Force Special Warfare/Special Recon. I deployed and got 7 combat tours under my belt in my 8 years of enlistment, and none of that makes me any better of an individual than anyone else. There are people from each branch, from many different career fields, that I've worked with or around, and again, as long as they did their job to the best of their abilities, and served honorably, that is what matters most. I wasn't there to be everyone's friend, but that doesn't mean we weren't all on the same side. I saved as many lives as I could in my time in service, and I would be remiss to fail in pointing out that my life has been saved many a time by others in other branches of service and in other career fields. I've had friends in each branch across many career fields, and I hold dear, each of those friendships. The only ones I question now about what side they are on, would be the VA, who I'm still fighting and have been for 10 years now for those benefits listed in my enlistment contract, and those who willfully today, stand against our country, and those who either legislate in that same kind of manner, or vote for such legislation or against the US Constitution, and in particular, the Bill of Rights. I swore an oath of enlistment, and while my time in service is up, I still breathe, and therefore, my watch isn't over. To those who also served and to those continuing to serve, thank you.

I was friends with all of these people. When I was in the Marines my best friend was on MP duty. When he was off duty he partied just as hard as the rest of us. I was in in the late 70's. When I joined the Army in the 85 the crackdown on the partying was harder. In the late 70's they never checked for weed. It costs to much. When I was getting out I was hearing about how they were going to start testing for it. In 85 that was in full swing.

After the second time, I took it back to the bay and laid it on my foot locker for an hour while I lost a few bucks in a poker game. Then I took the untouched weapon back to be told that I had finally gotten it right. Gotta learn to play the game.
