what's difficult to understand? they are the police force of the military; they do everything city cops do, and more. they patrol, they write tickets, they investigate criminal activity, they arrest people. they are the peacekeepers. there's is a difficult job. it's one thing for a city cop to break up a fight out front of a bar. it's something else again when the people involved are highly trained marines. (or in your case soldiers).
 
Here is a tip for you. When you join the Army, you don't just do the job you were assigned to because you are a soldier first. You will probably spend about half your time doing various details that need to be handled on the post like maintaining equipment, cleaning up ranges, etc etc. I don't mean this in a bad way. Sometimes it is nice to get a break from the usual routine. This is just how it goes. I would say the worse jobs in the Army are cook and mechanic because they work really long hours and the jobs are kind of tough. What sucks about being a mechanic too is having to keep up with your tools all the time.
 
...about them, what they do? I am going to go to the Army as an MP. I just wanted to know what they all are about. What else do they do besides patrol, and guard? Is it hard to get into? What is the best way i can become one?
Or would it be better to be a Marine MP?

What do mp's do?

Sit around doing nothing all day.

Then hide behind a bush stopping people driving at 31 mph on the way home and then talk to them like a right patronising c*nt.

Police dog handler: "Why are you talking to my dog"?

Airman: "Because the dog probably outranks you".

Well, enjoy fort leonard wood.. that place sucks! i was there from may 08-sep 08.... You should score high on asvab and get a GT score of atleast 100. We set the standard, so try to max PT by all means... so start now.

A normal day on my installation includes patrolling, guarding munitions. We do alot of warrior challenges... alot of details as color guard and escorts....
