The source of this write-up and photo is the CFPM's DWAN web site and it refers to MCpl Thickson's actions while responding to the murder scene of James Read.  There is no connection with the subject of this thread.

Although George is correct in that you can be posted to any Base/Wing/Unit/HQ, there are certain issues that come with the Distinctive Environmental Uniform (DEU) you wear.  For example, while certain Army courses are mandatory for MPOs wearing Army DEU, they are not mandatory for MPOs wearing...

The dropping of the college diploma as a prerequisite was announced two weeks ago by the CFPM at the annual Symposium.  It will be effective 1 Apr 09 and is a done deal.

Many thanks.  Sent you a PM.

I will be heading to the NATO School at the end of next week and was wondering if anyone has had occasion to go there.  I am interested in knowing which hotel would be best.  As well, any other useful information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Just sent you a PM

First of all, don't confuse the education requirements of MP NCMs and Officers as they are two different things.  For new NCM recruits, the minimum requirement is completion of a recognized college program, not university...that is for officers.  While, it is possible for an MPO to have a degree...

From Wikipedia:  Combat Support is a military term which refers to units which provide fire support and operational assistance to combat elements. Combat Support units provide specialized support functions to combat units in the areas of chemical warfare, intelligence, security, and...

Interestingly enough, when I was in Borden last week I was told that there are two PRETC Privates in Afghanistan doing GD at the moment.  They only completed BMQ and pre-deployment trg.

dusterdust, Your current degree program sounds just fine.  By the sounds of it, MPO would be the best option for you.  The job is more managerial/administrative in nature than that of an MP NCM, however, there are many opportunities to get your boots on the ground and your hands dirty...lots of...

MedTech, There are officers investigating serious investigations.  I believe that the point trying to be made is that conducting investigations is not an administrative activity.

MP 00161, thanks for the invite...it appears that there is a bit of frustration in dealing with this one.  However, I don't see what the fuss is all about. First things first.  Insofar as degree programs are concerned, make sure you follow a program that interests you.  There is no sense in...

Currently, postings to an Embassy ARE on a voluntary basis, it's hardly a good security practice to force the keeper of the keys to go someplace they don't want to be. I know of a number of cases where the member has been told by the CM that they ARE going.  Whether or not they DAG green is...

A posting to an embassy is generally on a volontary basis, however, there are times that one may be required to serve at one depending on service requirements.  Postings can range from between 1 year and 3 years depending on the level of hardship.  Generally families are posted with the member...

The security of Canadian embassies abroad is the responsibility of the MP Branch and is administered through the Military Security Guard Unit (MSGU), the main office of which is located at DFAIT.  If memory serves me correctly, there are currently around 90 MP pers posted throughout the world at...

"As for the PSP staff in Ottawa saying that it's not approved, well, that speaks volumes about their knowledge level and/or ignorance of things like this. The majority of the exercises that I do (and many other pers that I know) for my Xfit workouts are in the AFM (pushups, pullups, squats...

What is the current status of Crossfit at the Inf Sch?  I was on a trial for Crossfit last year and I believe that the research conducted resulted in the program not being recommended for implementation.  As well, when I inquired about Crossfit with the PSP staff in NDHQ I was told that the...

From the 2 MP Coy Web page found at http://www.2mpcoy.com/ To be eligible for enrolment, you must: Meet Canadian citizenship requirements; Be 17 years of age; Have obtained at least 15 credits in high school;  Meet Canadian Forces medical standards; Meet the Canadian Forces Physical ...

2332Piper, you are mixing apples with oranges.  Within the MP Branch, a college diploma is the minimum for entry as an NCM (tradesman), whereas the minimum requirement of a degree is specific to the officer corp of the Branch.  Don't try to enter the NCM component with a degree and likewise...

Even if you are statistically correct, you would be referring to pornography offences identified and/or prosecuted, not actual pornography offences committed.  Furthermore, you would also have to look at the reasons why officers would tend to get caught more often.  Could it be that they...
