Since I really want to be a field MP, am I able to choose or request 787 over 795?

You do not get to choose which OSUT company you will be assigned to. Both 787 and 795 will go over the same blocks of instruction. Be open minded and take in as much as you can. Good luck!

Thankyou for answering that one sir, I was beyond confused.

The difference in field and garrison will depend on your assignment once you complete AIT. You could go to Ft. Hood and do both garrison and field duty depending on the training cycle. If you get an additional skill identifier such as Q9 (Traffic Investigator), depending on the need of the installation you could go directly to a Section and work garrison on a daily basis. You will still have to do some field training, qualifying on weapons and skill level training.

They usually will rotate you. Sometimes if you want the field, you’ll have no problem being accommodated. However, be careful what you wish for because once you volunteer to keep going out of garrison and something big happens outside of garrison, you may want a break and can’t get it. So, number one military rule, don’t volunteer for anything. Do your job, but don’t ask for something. Trust me, if you’re an MP for any long length of time, you’ll get all the outside garrison work you want in due time.
