Your thoughts on MP, Is it desirable in the Job World?

Wmayers apparently has no idea what he is talking about. The USMC very much does have MPs, and "shore patrol" is not a job rating in the USN, Master at Arms is. The USAF does not have "air police", they are called Security Forces. I just had to clear all that up before I got to your question. Yes, the military experience can help. While some experience you gain working in military law enforcement (discipline, weapon retention, defensive tactics, etc.) will carry over, you will learn a lot of new stuff going through a city/county/state academy. Florida offers an equivalency of training program, which is a two week 'mini-academy' that goes over the refreshers and will then test and certify you. It accepts military LE experience, other states do not. Some LE agencies require at least an ociates, but then again some agencies will accept military service in lieu of education. All branches have the same pay scale.
