I can see that working with the CS slice --> but in my mind you need a MPOC-trained reg force MPO to fill the DCO/OpsO and GS MP Pl Comd positions. I speak from experience, having worn both of those hats on Roto 2 before they expanded the Coy HQ. I also speak as a person who has a lot of time...

I don't need to ask any of the CP guys. I was the Deputy Task Force Provost Marshal on Roto 2. Yeah, it wasn't the 100% solution, but it was a great success in the view that they already had the mentality, and required a lot less training than even bringing in another non-CP trained MP. It...

I knew about the satellite phone... but I assumed they had to wait to get to Nathan Smith or KAF to access the internet. Interesting....

I'm a beneficiary of both: currently in SQ in Halifax and enjoying the free cable (though paying for my internet), and having enjoyed my free internet (wireless and otherwise in Afg for 7 months) - I have to agree. In this day and age, given what we do, there is no reason to pay a bit more to...

Good advice. I'm available if you want more... PM me.

There is a reserve MP officer currently deployed with TFA Roto 3. As I understand it, they will continue to look for a reserve MPO to fill that position (Coy Adjt) for the forseeable future. I think it's a good fit, and a good opportunity for a reserve MPO to gain operational experience.

We were using R22eR folks in my Roto to fill positions here and there, with great success.... PM me if you want more info, this was theatre-specific, obviously - it's an MP mandate, for the most part, with JTF-2 coming in on specific occasions, as they are still responsible for certain aspects...

I think you might want to rethink that line...  ;D

This is misinformation, unless things have VERY significantly changed in the last month or so. I have an email from LCol Mac, the Army PM, stating that there will be NO, repeat, NO CT for reserve MP with operational experience offered at this point. They are indeed looking very hard at it, but...

I haven't read the full thread yet... but the difference is that the branch still takes ROTP candidates from RMC, and RMC does not offer a degree related to Police Administration. I took history and english at RMC. From an ROTP/RMC perspective, as long as the candidate can pass the MP Assessment...

Yeah. Happening all across the country... 1 MPU in Edmonton, 2 MPU out of Ontario, 5 MPU in Quebec (I'm assuming, I actually haven't seen anything on this), and 3 MPU in the Atlantic have stood up. The debate is heated as to whether this is a good thing. My own personal opinion, buttressed by...

We've lost a lot of troops to HRP in the last couple of years through lateral transfers. There are other agencies out there doing the same thing. As others have said, though, RCMP will still have you go through the depot. I'm hearing rumblings that their own personnel crunch may negate that...

Are you talking about the patch used on our relatively new Operational Patrol Dress (the black one?). I may be able to help.

They do indeed - I picked up a new pair after coming out of the sandbox... my last pair were issued to me in basic 10 years ago. Had a great shine, but unfortunately the left show had a hole in the sole - so it was time to turf them.

I think you'd be surprised, actually - kids these days, from what I've been seeing, have a fair amount of respect for our country and it's traditions. Not to say that I condone their actions, but I think some of them, especially in a province that recently has been hard hit in this war we're...

I find boots more comfortable... but my boss prefers that his Officers act like 'gentlemen' and wear the oxfords... so much less  for me to polish, and since I wear a size 14 shoe, that's a good thing. Quite nice working for a Naval Officer.  ;D

Yeah - it's a hell of a lot better now than when they first offered it in October. Still spotty, unfortunately, I'm on it now (just before 1900), but that's a first. I generally can't get on from my tent space until after 2300hrs. That said, heck, I'm not complaining - it's definitely a luxury...

Couple pedantic points... 1. Insp Grabb was the Officer Commanding the Sensitive Investigation Section within the National Investigation Service, as part of a two-year secondment from the RCMP. 2. One 'l' in Marshal, not two.

I think your tag line says it all: he's substituted everyone else's reality with his own...
