Mp's are all sorts of things
I have heard it all from mop pushers to multi purpose, on and on the bes one yet though has to be
Military Pimp
Our MOS number is 5811
So 58+11= 69
I am starting to think it is true cause all the damn girls see MP's first and so do all those guy's wives. They are always in some sort of trouble in that aspect. not me though wasn't my cup of tea.
But grunts are resourceful!!!!
We have our own way of getting around!!!!!!

here's a lesson in marksmanship
We carry one gun put our round on target
Now who the would have to carry sixguns?

Here's who carries Sixguns
No one. Your attempt at humor is lacking!!!
We are all trained marksmen. In fact, some of the best shooters in the Marine Corps are not MPs. Now if you want to compare shooting scores or numbers of times qualified as expert, I'll give it to you. But after I do that , I will also share with you the number of misfires and accidental discharges MPs have been responsible for. I can tell you that I can't recall a single incident where two Marines in my MOS played "quickdraw" or ended up with a gunshot wound as a result. But this must be the side of your MOS you don't want anyone to see. I guess that badge is not big enough to cover your ego, but I think your brain might be hiding behind it!!
Taking it a little personal
Well think maybe not all the best shooters are MP's. But then some might be cooks and paper pushers. But my philosophy is this " I would rather have a whole bunch of marksman shooters who will put rounds down range in combat than a whole bunch of experts who wont freeze up in the zone." You can compare qualifications all you want but it does no good. I trust you are a good shooter and yet so am I. So no need in discussing that. The incident you are talking about was back when they still had the M1911 .45 caliber pistols. Now almost everone was having accidental discharges with those. To include all who qualified with it. The baretta you don't have that problem. Now in terms of stupidity, those Marines were stupid. But then again they are in ever MOS Yes even your's. I know that may be hard to believe. but believe it. But yet these Marines put themselves in harms way everyday. I have hero's on my watch. It's my fault you have a beef with my MOS. The ones who always do are the ones who have gotten in trouble. If that's not your case then fine but there is no hiding behind any badge.
