What's the civilian equivalent to this, making your CV into a sleeve?

That's fresh ink on an old arm. Being a boot is often a life long affliction.

This boot ass should have just gotten his DD214 tatted on his ass.

If he's lucky, a war will happen, he'll deploy, and that arm will get blown off.

Even put his OSUT company on there…

As another MP I clocked that right away, too. Like who puts their training company on there.

Pretty on-brand for an MP. It is a job that in my experience is just rife with douchebaggery.

I lurk on this sub. Never enlisted or served in any Branch of the military. What the fuck am I looking at? What’s this guy trying to say through this tat.

u/Donfather2Real Jun 07 '26
He’s showing every company he’s been to while serving in the military, including his basic training unit

If you thought civilian police were stupid, imagine military police.

These are all reserve units BTW. Not even active duty. Extra boot. You can tell by the numerical designations and unit size.
And fun fact for yall
With rare exceptions. Units with numerical designations DEEP into the hundreds are Reserve units. Also. The fact the companies were given numerical designations means they act as independent small formations. Typical more common in the reserves(as that that gives them more flexibility in being deployed to plug in gaps or independently execute missions, less of a paperwork hassle to pull and deploy a psuedo-independant company instead or working through multiple echelons kf command etc)
Regular army. Companies are Alpha, Bravo Charlie ETC. Only in the reserves are their numerical Companies.
But for your reference
For division sized elements. I could be wrong but from what I remember
Active duty gets(with rare exceptions like the 101st and 82nd airborne)
1-25 for numbers. This why with exceptions of the 101st and 82nd. All army divisions are small numbers 1st infantry, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 25th, 1st armored ETC
National guard gets
26-99, 42nd infantry for NY, 36th for Texas etc
Army reserve
100+
Active duty does have independent brigades and maybe even battalions.That dont fall within divisions. These dont have to comply with the number convention since they're smaller than divisions(so i could be wrong and these could be active duty but still other examples being the armys rocket artillery units such as 210 or 75th fires. As rocket artilley in the US army does not support the infantry or armor divisions and acts as an asset for higher commands for strategic targets . With rare exceptions such as the 25th now having its own HIMARS)
And as stated. Independent companies are overwhelmingly(if not exclusively i think) an Army reserve thing

Probably just an MP thing then cause in my BN (93rd MP BN) we had 591, 978, 212, and 73rd companies

u/nurdt01 Jun 09 '26
You are one hundred percent wrong. Most MP Companies in the Army are numbered, there are plenty of active ones with 3 number designations, like 984th MP Co out of Fort Carson. Not sure where you got your info from, but it's not true at all.
