What Is It Like Being a Security Forces or Military Police NCO?

In most conventional career fields, NCO's are contending with immature behavior from their lower enlisted. But since Sec For and MP's are supposed to be like cops, and therefore project authority. So I assume their NCO's aren't having to "babysit" a bunch of unprofessional youth.

If you put a security forces member in a room with just a bowling ball and no exit, when you come back later, the bowling ball is either missing, broken, or pregnant.
I loved that job and would do it again today. But the bowling ball statement wasn't far off. It got a lot of laughs and a few nods.

If you think MP's or Security Forces somehow perfected the formula to prevent young Servicemembers from creating or being involved in shenanigan's you are sadly mistaken. I had several MOS's and billets under my belt and regardless of the training and screening process for a particular Unit/MOS/billet there will always be something going on. It may vary but there will always be some knucklehead doing knucklehead things

Yes, the military has for centuries tried to make things idiot proof, but they just get better idiots.
I wish I could claim it was all just junior enlisted, but I've seen my share of Senior NCO and Officers do some pretty stupid things in my career.
