I can only post re: what I have knowledge of.
I have a colleague that is in the MP Aux. He told me that at an event he was sitting next to a seasonal officer and at some point in the conversation asked her what her qualifications for the job were, she told him that her quals were that she was a high school graduate.
Beyond that, when my nephew, who is now in the Marine Corps, was looking for a job he found that the seasonal MP jobs paid less than $14 an hour.
Those facts do not give me confidence in the training or ability of the men and women who drive the MP boats and are tasked with enforcing the law.
