Anyone knowledgeable on going USMC to Army National Guard
Marine Corps
Military police
Welcome to the MI Guard.
It appears that your questions have been already answered. I do know quite a few NCOs in the 144 MP Co and
they will definitely help with your transition.
I am currently working with USMC in Liberia and I will say that there isn’t’
too many differences between the USAR and USMC.
Few things to remember are that we don’t have an “AllHands” in the Army;
it’s just a meeting or CUB/BUB. We also don’t
call “Attention on deck” for grade Officers, just Attention adding a specific location
if needed (E.I. - Attention in the TOC).
E7 -SFC, usually a platoon sergeant and referred to as SGT not
Gysgt. We actually just use “SGT” for E5
to E7. E8 and above is when you would
use the complete rank. There is no “Master guns” just MSG. Lastly, the uniform is very similar with the
exception that we don’t roll up our sleeves as that has been recently authorized
by the USMC. We also wear patches to identify unit... Everything else will be OJT for you. I know this is a bit Barney Style; however it’s
just few of the differences that I had seen here. Good Luck.
The current AR 670-1 which covers the uniform wear and appearance is currently being updated, but you can probably find the most recent one online if you Google it to utilize in the mean time, the updated one has been pending for over a year so it will probably still be awhile before anyone sees it.
Now as far as customs and courtesies, I am quite sure everything you were taught in Marine boot will suffice for now, but if you want to they are also easily found online under Army customs and courtesies or Drill and Ceremonies for the most current regulations on both.
That is about the easiest way to read up and find information in our digital age, you could also hit up your local recruiting office to have them give you some practice as well on D&C and C&C.
Good luck and enjoy the new unit and job.
