Mike, I spent a great deal of time as an MP ,CID and Fed. augmentation to the USSS,so I appreciate your plight. As I used to tell my young "Mud Puppies" after a messy brawl,"Be glad it ain't your puke or your blood".The Military Police seem to be in great danger these days as here at FT. Rucker they have started to use "DOD Policemen". 25 years ago we had to take on the mission of "Rear Area Security" to stay alive as a Corp. If DoDPolice assume the roll of garrison law enforcment that will only leave POW and Confinement Facility ops plus the rear area security mission. That was an infantry mission and when we got stuck with it it was "Infantry without the RE-UP bonus" .Military Police were "Police" but we were "of the troops and for the troops". I fear we are nearing the end of an era, more's the pity. Nick
