    32 MP plt

    This falls then on the section commander to express the concern to the platoon warrant who can guide/advise the Jr. Officer on what their role should be. It is also on the part of the Jr. Officer to seek advice from their Snr. NCO's to learn how a section works in an MP Platoon/Company. But then...

    What should I work on for my MP career?

    Not to derail the thread, but the last Reg Force MPOC that went through had 5 Officers who CFR'd and 10 "off the street".

    What should I work on for my MP career?

    Well I can only speak from my experience in the reserves but here's my take. Your education in Criminology is a plus. Seeing you did a minor in French assumingly means your bilingual. That will save you taking the language course which means it'll be faster till you reach your trades(MP)...

    Officer to NCM

    Yes, I'm currently an LT. I talked to the recruiter and after looking at the PLQ course which my own people took, I told him I know I'd have to take some mods (The ones you'd mentioned) But I'd expect some written off (I've leaded recce's, section attacks, defensives, etc.). But it's it's up...

    Officer to NCM

    I'm making the switch on a CT from Gold to Green, and into a different trade. The reasons for doing so are a varied lot, each which I feel I will make me a better soldier and leader. But I'd like the experience from all Army.ca members to make my transition better. 1. Leadership - After acting...

    Something I haven't seen mentioned here. Talk to PSP! They love giving you advice and its knowledgable and free. Their job is to keep us fit, so they'll design you workout plans that suit your goals to a tee. Just go in a setup an appointment with one of their resident 'Fitness and Sport...

    MP's and PRETC

    A tip for persons doing CT's from the reserves. When being told your going on PRETC, ask through your chain before your shipped off to PRETC to be placed on EWAT (Employment While Awaiting Training) with your reserve unit. I'm not sure how things are effected if your transfering to a different...

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    I'm looking into transfering from Reserve to Reg Force MPO.  My situation is, the MP trade does not recognize the MP Reserve Phase 3. Therefore I will have to retake that. As well, I must take language training as I'm only fluent in English, and know a bit of another language that is not French...

    MP Unit Re-Org

    With the integration of the Reg's/Reserves you give more ammo to the reserve unit to turn around and justify to higher that you are indeed part of a regular force unit. But most importantly their role in the current system. In my units case, we are part of a Immediate Response Unit for natural...

    MP Unit Re-Org

    I think your refering to the Military Police Code of Conduct (MPCC)? The QR&O's still are in effect under the label of "Primary Reservist. Correct me if I'm Wrong.

    MP Unit Re-Org

    The idea is that the Area Provost Marshall will be the CO. Namely, all area MP's fall under the same boss, just like the Regular Force. As for reserve OCdts, they can aspire to be OC's. Sorry to say but reserve training is very ill equipped to train a CO for a "MP Battalion". Way off, depending...

    Close Protection Training

    I've had a couple of my people apply for CPP. But I must warn you, you have to be in shape and confident in your weapons handling skills to even consider trying out. Plus if your icon is correct your also an Officer, which I have to tell you sets yourself at a higher standard than every...

    Challenge Coin

    I picked up mine when I went to Borden and everyone in my unit knows what its for who's gone to Borden (and are the ones subject to the rules). Last Mess Dinner I brought mine and pulled it on a couple guys. Although I didn't collect on anyone who didn't have theirs and I bought a couple...

    Army Reserve MPs...

    Never heard of that ever. My unit recruits a lot locally in schools and what not, so thats not true. Complicated question. Reserve MPs cannot effect an arrest (outisde of service custody) to the manner of "Your under arrest for ____, I'm taking you to the detachment, etc.". Although as...

    Doing a ride along with the MP's

    Every MP detachment must have a ride-along program as defined in their Standing Orders. Regulations to this are found in the MPTTP, ASJ-004 Chap 10 (I think thats the reference). Anyways, I'm sure whoever is working will set you up with the right person to talk to, be it the Shift I/C or the...

    MPO and MP?

    Reserve Army MPO here. Been in 2 years and for myself I've done: BMQ - mixed with Pte(R) and Ocdts BOTP(R) - Was only a week long and just went over leadership theory, Battle Procedure, and Small Party tasks. CAP - Reg Force, In my opinion the real leadership course for reserves (The Reserve...

    Offr-NCO-NCM Relationships

    The best way to summ my view of the Officer NCM relationship can only be done anecdotally. As I've only been in the forces going on 2 years (all that time as an Officer) and recently going through this dilemma I'd like to make my own points. Being a Reserve Officer I find we're more apt to be...

    Reg To Res Transfers?

    I'm quite sure that the releasing process is a 9 month duration and that's if you were to start today. And since your on basic courses your instructors aren't going to give it to you easily. It would be faster and less hassle to complete your courses and your contract.
