49.3Why the MonkeysPEKING::SERJEANTSBetter Dead than Red..Thu Dec 14 1989 09:4312
    
    	Hiya Dustie,
    		    Why do you want to become a "Monkey"? I thought
    your chosen profession was Medic. The nearest Redcap unit to use
    is down in Southampton, and I can supply you with the phone number
    of someone who transfered to them from us recently.

    ( P.S I hope you don't transfer as we're short of people as it is)
    
    
49.4Great time but hard to make rankLANDO::DENNINGThu Dec 14 1989 13:4219
    Where do you want me to start.
    
    MP units spend ALOT of time in the field and contrary to popular belief
    not everyone gets a jeep.
    
    I had a great time in the MP Units I was with. We did crowd control at
    the NY Marathon, MACY's Thanksgiving's Dat parade, St Patrick's day
    parade and almost anything else the NYPD needed help with.
    
    We also spend 14 days  of a 16 fay AT int the field. They did AT in
    Germany, Egypt, and FT AP Hill while I was there.
    
    It is VERY VERY hard to make rank in an MP unit. When it was time for
    me to rotate I could not find an E-6 slot. I keep in touch with my old
    unit from time to time and the same E-6s and E-7s have been there
    forever. If you want to make rank DON'T go to an MP Unit.

49.5MP's are out!!PEKING::BECKCThu Dec 14 1989 14:1710
    Don,
    
    Thanks for the info, I will probably forget the MP's as I want to
    make rank, possibly by the end of next year, I will take my commission.
    
    Interesting to read and thanks for the input.
    
    Dustie.
