I’m prior service Active Army, considering going National Guard. I’m thinking about changing my MOS to 31B MP. Anybody have any insight on how long the schooling would be/where it would be? Not sure if it matters, but I’m from NJ.

You will go to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. there are 3 different service schools there for both enlisted.Engineere, Chemical and Military Police. The Chem. and M.P. Schools are new and modern. Less than 20 years old. Facilities for the various MP and CID courses have been a dream come true. Everything MPs need and want is there. Course has changed time so I am not sure. Between 8 and 9 weeks. Could be longer.

I know the Alaska National Guard uses the Regional Training Institute to do the MOS changes in the guard. Basically a 3-4 week training and then your reassigned to your new MOS.

If you’re joining the NG and then reclassing, you won’t go to Leonardwood but would do two- two week phases of MP school at whatever RTI your state can get you into. There are schools in multiple states and they run classes at different times. The best way to do it is both at the same time but if you can’t do that you can go to each phase separately.
