I have always wondered why people picked a job where every single soldier will hate your guts and you will be a social pariah. Quicker promotion, more money ?
@@Spookieham Well Immediate promotion to Lance Corporal on passing out, maybe that, technically it gives them a bit of clout.
I think it's mostly an inferiority complex, coupled with being rejected as a Tesco Security Guard and a Traffic Warden. RMP was all that was left.
@@stevemorris3710 then rejected by the civilian police for being bottom of the compost tip then couldn't pass his sia training to join 🤧
G4s
@@stuartbrown8259 yea promotion to lance jack all that training to get it command training instruction giving orders weapon instruction giving QBOs god bless them
I did my Military Police training at the Depot and Training Establishment Chichester from April to August 1968. The training was very vigorous and also covered both Civilian and Military law. The Corps Motto “By Example Shall We Lead” a fine motto to live up to.
I’d have a look at the other comments on here if I were you 😂
Shame none of them do. Biggest bunch of hypocrates.
@@caseyjonessnr1200 I always thought it funny how many wankers could be in 1area at same time Tidworth Garrison.met some decent Rmp only to be spoiled by arrogance of rest.
Were you re-issued your original heart when you left?
After signing on for the Army in 1974, i was asked, "What Regiment would you prefer?" Military Police i said. Sgt said "No, think again". OK, Armoured Corps then. Got my papers to join The Royal Armoured Corps at Bovington Camp Dorset. When the time came, got another letter, "Your going in the Royal Signals now, report to Catterick". At least it wasn't the RMP.
Wish we still had narration like this.
and the rest
Proper uniforms with civilian and military police there too. High standards of turnout and standards too. No kit just notebook and whistle, love it! Great series this!
Nice one. I attended the 2016 Trafalgar Cup (RM vs PARA) rugby league fixture and was astonished at how (40 years on) polite and helpful the attending RMPs had become. 🙂 Does anyone else think that the narrator is possibly the late BBC news presenter Peter Woods?
It REALLY IS that obvious....isn't it?. Showing your and MY age!😀😀😀
Wish we still had a Civilian Police force like this.
Bravo.
Congratulations.
👍🇬🇧👑
Nice upload...Thank you so much! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
The vehicle used by two MP at 9:00 to 9:45 no Land Rover to my surprise, but a DKW Munga. The first West German small military vehicle after WW2. 3-cylinder 2-stroke engine, FWD.
During the Falklands war. The soldiers would refer to locals as Bennys. Command got to hear about and insisted they stop. A new name was used Stills. As in still Bennys.
@@DennisCooper-do9yi I've heard that joke. It was from a TV drama or soap-opera.....EastEnders perhaps?
It was not a friendly nickname by any standard! 🤣🇭🇲
I'm guessing as in Benny from crossroads. 😂
@@thegoat11111 That's the one. Not that I ever watched it in Australia 🇭🇲
😊I went to the Falkland’s in 1987 ish. If the RMP found a drunk squaddie they would take him to his accommodation. If the RAF police found a drunk squaddie, he was arrested. I much preferred the RMP.
Times change. Last time I saw how an RAF cop was dressed outside the camp guardroom, I was appalled.
Snowdrops were the worst
I had two cousins who were in the RMP during WW2, so the Regiment is part of my family's history. Even though I never served in the Armed Forces but I had family who served in the RMP, the RAF and the Royal Navy so I ware pin badges of all 3 proudly. 💂♂️💂♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴
Wear 2 of them proudly....
After remustering from the navy due to cronic seasickness I joined the Canadian Military Police........spent more time in the field then I ever did doing garrison duty.......as I was told on day one of training, it's Capital M, small p, you were a soldier first, policeman second. Discipline Trough Example. Long live the Gopher in Hockey pads, aka the Thunderbird Cap badge.
Is 1968 correct ? Much likely YES! At 10:15 in the background a cinema can bee seen, promoting 2 movies.
One of them is "Cervantes" which was produced in 1967, its release in German cinema was February 1968.
February ord march do seem plausible, as people are dressed accordingly, trees do not show foliage and a small patch of snow, ramains of a former heap of it, can bee seen at 13:12.
"Turned down by the Infantry as not up to standard for a Soldier, rejected by the Police as of low intelligence and a potential Jobsworth? The RMP wants to hear from you."
Bit harsh 😂😂 don't get me wrong I never wanted to see them if I was having fun
@@stevecunningham6537 I did have one positive experience with them, remainder all negative. It speaks volumes that they can't show their faces down town.
@@stevemorris3710
I had 2 drunk experiences with them ..
One time they picked me up & just dropped me off at my accommodation block but another time it was snowing heavily & me & a REME guy came out the Naafi bar...pretty drunk.
Walked towards the gate to go down town & I slipped in the snow onto my back.
I mean I was drunk & the Monkeys drove by & saw it.
Took me to the Guard room.
Luckily the Guard commander knew me so sat me in a chair & said go to bed .
Was escorted to my block..😂
@@stevemorris3710was told in Germany 78 if you are drunk and fall over the RMPs will scoop you up and transport you to a gaol of your choice .they followed me one night for about a mile in a landrover tossers I didn't fall over even though I was wiped out 😂
@@roberthewer2268 Lol Good Man! They really were outcast weasels. As I used to tell them, "Not a real Soldier, not a real Policeman"
Looks like the Hankley Common DZ at the start. Shot around the time my Grandad stopped dropping out of the sky there and started walking his dog there instead.
Beloved Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland.
My dad served in the RMP during his national service. He was in Egypt and Libya. He always said at that time when you had a conscript army you needed a "hard" police force to keep them in check. I still used to wind him up about being a "monkey" when I joined up. By the way he still did the penguin walk till the day he died.
Old school RMPs carrying out routine "policing" duties in full NO2s. Good luck getting the blood, vomit, spilled beer and pavement grime out of those after the squaddies resist arrest on Friday night. Not to mention bulling your boots back up to standard. Only in the British army...
'Ere. Evva 'ad your collar felt, laddie?" Cos u 'ave now.
The MP's were at Arnhem in 1944 as part of the airborne operations. They stayed behind to guard German PoW's to maintain the illusion of force normalcy while the rest of the airborne troops escaped as best they could.
Still WANK.
Wow that was exciting Berlin Kevin Hicks The History Squad he was RMP in Berlin!
He has some great stories.
@@neiloflongbeck5705 Yes kevin is a great storyteller.👍💂♂️🫡
@Katmando376 I saw him live at Sherwood Forest on several occasions.
Interestingly, the UK civilian police loved ex-RMP, with many transferring in the 80s. It didn’t take long to realise that the civilian police had better pay and conditions, as well as shorter shifts and even better kit. It was only the thick, stupid soldier that ever seemed to have an issue with the RMP as they were of course, the ones that felt sorry for themselves when they were caught doing idiotic stuff. A lot of our time was spent helping soldiers and their families, especially in BAOR, when broken down or with lost children. I was shocked to find though, just how serious the offences were that we dealt with in the SIB. Murder, rapes, kidnapping, bestiality, necrophilia and many more. As a civilian police investigator I dealt with a lot of serious crime but not as weird or diverse as some of those we saw in the army.
You have to be joking
I spent 28 years in the Met and every time I met an ex monkey they were jumped up little bullies
@@djscoah8037 enough said methinks
Thick stupid soldier??? Would you care to explain that comment??
0:33 my grandad
Good stuff 👍
80% of your day consists of going on simple minded calls, 15% trying to make the report sound like I give a sht, and 5% dealing with real crime.
Straße des 17. Juni - 17 Juni Strasse - catch the Grunts getting into trouble with the Transexuals in the early morning - and that was the 1970's. When I say trouble I don't mean fighting more "falling in love"
One got hit over the canister with a pool cue in.berlin summit house 😂😂
The Monkee - even their mums hate them.
Hated then hated now.
They still do a better job than the civvy police.
It was regimental police that we hated
Route signing, and pre preparing diversions, a little less exciting ?
These were the the typical types of bullies we had to endure whilst serving in the army in Germany in the eighties.
freeze @ 11:15....smug condescension "r" us......NICHT WAHR?
Never ever understood it
Why oh why would you CHOOSE to be absolutely hated and despised by everyone or every rank
I was in the RE and then Met Police and I met a few
Very odd people
See them in Waterloo Station during the rush hour. Always mutter 'monkey scum' to them when I walk past. Awful chippy people
They could be right cxxxs😂
that's disrespectful, to C*&TS
@@tonesw6957 🤣🤣
list of most useless MOS. cooks, band, MPs
The only useless thing here is you.
The MPGS great for ol'B like me 😆👍👍
Petty Officer on the HMCS Shantsay: "Who called the cook a cvnt?!?!?!?"
Mufflied voice in the mess: "Who called that cvnt a cook?!?!?!?"
Even their mums hate them.
Hated and deemed unecessary by 98% ofv the British Army. Their specialism is backstabbing their own to climb the ladder. Never met a decent one inn 24yrs + in the military.
Hear hear
