Question
hi im looking to enlisting here soon an i was wondering what you could tell me on being an mp like what is the min score they will accept on the asvab an what its like

Answer
OK as far as scores on the ASVAB we don't look at that but the score that is generated from your ASVAB, the GT score, is really what we look at. The minimum for Military Police is 110 without a waiver. Being an MP is a diverse field with both field and law enforcement duties. Some of the time you will be working like a normal police officer with a car, writing tickets, arresting persons, and doing casework. Other times you will be in the field on patrol in tactical vehicles or deployed overseas doing any of the missions.  It requires great interpersonal skills, a willingness to work hard and adapt to changing mission requirements , and a desire to be in the best job field in the United States Army.

I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
