Wow, it sounds like nothing has really changed in 25 years. Civilian agencies still not recognizing mil quals....imagine that isn't that much of a surprise.
If my kids asked this same question to me now, I would tell them not to take this route if they think it is a shortcut to city police job, or any other civy job for that matter. The problem is that civilian agencies are run by old-boy networks, most of which could never pass mil fitness standards. If they understood the wisdom of hiring trained soldiers, maybe they would stop pretending to be soldiers.
Military police is just a different sandbox. If you get accepted for training, run with it. Just don't expect another public service sandbox to accept you as one of them. Just know when you get out, there will be a few enlightened agencies who will put you to work. Keep in mind many of them will be private....LOL!
