Day In The Life Of A Military Police Platoon Leader
A platoon is typically the smallest military unit led by a commissioned officer. The platoon leader is usually a junior officer-a second or first lieutenant or an equivalent rank. The officer is usually assisted by a platoon sergeant. In this video I talk about what I do on a daily basis as a platoon leader in the Military Police Coprs!

@dougcooper5740 4 жыл бұрын

I was an MP and a cop and it always baffled me why MPs are treated like children. Never ever as a cop did the sergeant or watch commander check to make sure we had a note book, cuff keys etc. And why carry a gun that isn't ready to fire. Both my primary and backup gun always had a round chambered and the mag top off. Its immensely dangerous not to have it in a state where you cant fire it without having to chamber a round

Most PL I have served under have been great and an example for fellow soldiers. I only had one LT cause himself to get kicked out of our unit. One time we went to the field for 30 days. At day 26. Our LT told us to pack up and he decided we were done in the field. As the last pallet is almost on the trailer. Our battalion commander shows up. “ What the fuck is going on?” The LT and the LTC argues for 10 mins. The LTC leaves and yells “ Stupid fuck piece of shit baby!” Lol. The LT then tells my platoon sgt. To unpack the whole site and we had to stay a few more days. At that moment I swear you could hear a pin drop. My unit circled the LT. Platoon Sgt yells “ Fuck this shit. I refuse to do it!” LT orders the platoon sgt to do it. Next thing the platoon sgt yells. “ Fuck you motherfucker! Were you in Vietnam?” We slept in shelter halves for 3 days. This was in 1993. It was my first time In the field as an E2. Lol

However, I still have a few questions: Being that you had prior service, is it possible to get insight from another MP PL who has no prior experience besides their commissioning source? I would like to know if they had a smooth transition? Any obstacles they faced with their platoon? Tips they can provide on how they began to understand MP Capabilities without having prior services? Thanks again for the amazing content!

You can SMD. I know people that have got into heavy drinking and smoking and some who have completely changed personalities not for the better because they have not gotten the promotions they deserve cause of favoritism, not gotten the respect they deserve because of one mishap, not gotten the recognition even though they contributed the most. The military is a game of chance, ass kissing and being a PT stud. I like the fact you get physically fit overall than what you once were but the mental degradation being in does not make most for the better. Many are also wasting hours of time and not learning valuable skills for the work force.

I'm currently in college thinking about going back into the military (Army) as an Officer through the ROTC program. I was wondering, do your Officers for MP PMO conduct patrol operations, respond to calls for service, take police reports, etc? I do understand that some officers have desk jobs in a PMO and some are Watch Commanders. The Marines had a Watch Commander and he or she would respond to calls for service with the regular road Marine MPs. As I love the law enforcement field, and I would like to continue to do that work if possible as an Officer. Thank you.

So, my first thought was the Medics give the LT 'knock out juice' via the IV line...LT goes nappy time...and the Soldiers enjoy a nice, calm and quiet officerless shift. LT wakes up, Soldiers tell a groggy 31A he must've passed out, but thankfully absolutely nothing happened on patrol, the gates or at the desk. And thanks for volunteering for MED training, LT. For The Troops; yes, MPs are often hated and garrison duty can be dangerous; be careful 31A/Bs! Thanks for the video, LT. All kidding aside, blessings and be safe. And maybe one just possibly overlooked a shift carrying 'hot' (no time to draw, rack and change condition in a fast, evolving, life threatening, potential use of force 'keep the peace' moment). And, a time when we actually wore nice, shiny metal PMO, Military Police, badges. A former MP.

Serious question do yall have like a seat team like if some dude walked in and started shooting would local police swat come in and handle the situation or what also how was ait for an mp I took the asvab and qualified for it but just ended up going 11B(infantry)

@DavionWest 4 жыл бұрын

Yes we have something along those lines, cant go into details with that. For officers the training was not too bad besides being tased and OC sprayed.

Question as a Military MP is the military different in a way compare to Infantry? Ex- can you use your phone after boot Camp to stay in contact with family. Basically like regular cops.? I be passing by and seeing them in cars using phones at times. Do you get to stay in base or get to have your own place?

@DavionWest 3 жыл бұрын

Yes you can use your phone after boot camp. You stay on base if you are a certain rank and not married. But tbh it different at every base

Do MP officers always report at 0900 or does it vary? Like some days are you required to report earlier?

@DavionWest 3 жыл бұрын

It’s going to depend on your leadership and duty station.

Sir, are you in the 55th? When I was there in Korea we were the Hooligans and we switched to the Red Lions shortly before I PCS’ed. Thank you for your service, hooah

@DavionWest 4 жыл бұрын

Yes sir, I’m with the 55th. Thank you for your service! Hooligans sound like a nice name, why did it change

@nickalussaffle1132 4 жыл бұрын

Davion West When I was there, our company commander and first sergeant PCS’ed and the new captain that took command changed it. From what I gathered from my platoon sergeant, the captain thought “hooligans” sounded somewhat criminal for an MP company to be called haha. I was in 2nd Platoon and we were stationed at Camp Stanley away from the rest of the 55th there in Camp Casey. I heard Camp Stanley is shut down now, do you know? We also patrolled Camp Red Cloud and I actually got to be part of a detail protecting President Obama when he came through Yongsan.

Did you learn Korean prior to being deployed in Korea? Any tips for college students (non-ROTC) preparing for the process to get into OCS? Peace be with you ☮️

@DavionWest 2 жыл бұрын

I did not learn it sadly. I just learned a few words. RUN RUN RUN! Be able to run 3-4 miles easily, incorporate sprints into your workouts. Learn as a leader there will be times you need to be a follower in order to learn more. Most importantly, as a leader and officer you need to learn to be patient with your Soldiers and leaders.
