Reclassing from 92A to 31E, what duty stations can I expect?

SGT Kevin Sewell — Sun, 25 Oct 2015 12:09:08 -0400

I am reclassing to a 31e and my A.I.T is July 15th 2016. I was curious what are the "current" duty stations for a 31E. I am also wondering what to expect reclassing to this M.O.S?

Any RCF, Leavenworth, or GTMO.

You could go to the following locations (in order of probability): Ft Leavenworth either 40th MP BN (USDB), 705th MP BN (JRCF), Ft Lewis, Korea, Germany, Miramar NAS, Pearl Harbor NAS, or any of the Naval/Joint Base Stations on the East coast that have brigs. You shouldn't be sent to Cuba as a brand new reclass on individual orders, but don't count it out, they'll place people where they need them. Hope this helps. As far as what you would look forward to, long hours, long work weeks, shift work, rotating shifts, and training directed by the Army and the American Corrections Association, so you'll pull several 12-14 hour days after PT, work and training. Deployments are usually voluntary and are to Cuba as an Unit.

Once you are a SSG and have spent some time behind the walls of a correctional facility or detention facility, you could always be the DETOPS subject matter expert on a Brigade Combat Team Staff in its protection cell. So you could potentially be stationed at the duty stations with BCTs and Divisions.

If you are going to reclass in the winter, MO is going to be cold. Reclass is a bit more loose than initial entry training. I reclassed as a 31b, but I'd assume that places like Cuba may be in your future. There are also locations in Germany, lady I knew. Enjoy and be safe. Welcome to the MP corps.

I'm a current 31E and fresh out of AIT I been at FT Lewis now for just over 2 months so my experience isn't stellar but I can tell you what to expect as far as duty stations. Right now it's only Ft Lewis or more then likely ft Leavenworth only other Korea, Germany and of course Cuba. If you go to Leavenworth which is a 90 percent chance you'll be on 12 hr shifts (they are on permanent 12s right now for at least a year) and also expect go to Cuba at some point.

Not trying to be a smartass, but I would have done my research first before reclassing to a new MOS

I am amazed how many people site and MOS thinking we all know it or should research it.

SPC Sewell,
I was curious what you are reclassing from? I was a 31B on active duty and now in the NG after a break in service and am looking at ways to go back active again and looking at possibly gong 31E.

Since you already did your ait and are probably at your duty station what can you tell me abot this mos?
I'm talking like everything there is to know, the good about it as well as the bad about it.

State side duty stations most likely are JBLM in Tacoma, Washington really good base so much do. Or Leavenworth, KS (never been)
When people say about all other places like Pearl Harbor or California those chances are slim to none and you have to be a high speed SGT or SSG and in those place you work as an army liaison for the navy brig
