Interesting stuff LT. I’m a retired AF Cop, and one piece of advice that you have down Pat yourself, tell the butterbars. “Listen To Your NCOs” they are the gears that turn and make the machine run.
Love that you are a young Officer and doing it right with your enlisted personnel. Treat them like equals but guide them when you need to. That is how you build respect. Treat them well in garrison and they will cover your ass in battle. Hooah LT.
make no mistake treat them with respect but do not let them walk all over you. Make sure they don't confuse professionalism and them thinking you are best friends. Sir
Coolest officer I’ve ever seen. I live the army life because of my father. I ship out to benning Jan 24 and will become an officer soon. Just got accepted to LSU today. New sub ‼️🔔
Love this LT energy! Need more motivators that love their job through the grind. Thinking of doing a green to gold packet so these are pretty informative and helpful.
Hello! Currently an ROTC cadet hoping to commission as a 2nd LT next year. This gave great insight I was looking for much respect to you sir! Hoping to go to LOG-BOLC and become a logistics officer lol
Hey Mr. West. Just wanna say I'm looking into becoming an officer for the army myself, I'm 16 so I have some time to go but I just wanted to say you seem to really get after it and be on top of your job. Just earned a new sub Keep the videos coming your inspiring!
Thank you for the support! I should be getting out soon and I’ll be making videos of traveling the world, I hope you stick around for that. If you have questions don’t hesitate to ask.
@@DavionWest My biggest question for being an LT for military police is do you go on patrol sometimes? I'm looking at air force and army the most for police jobs.
Congrats on your promotion i just watched your PL vid 😂 im trying to find a different video from my time on AD on the news and searching for it keeps bringing your vids up
I have a question. When it comes to the letter of recommendations for your ocs packet, do I need to have some sort of job experience or something? I’ve never worked due to being a full time student. I got my BS this year and been trying to find a job but no luck. Though I have been around with ppl with leadership like a fire chief during my time in the fire academy. Thank you and have a bless day!
1LT west I’m getting ready to swear in next week with the ARNG and 31B is MOS. My recruiter has been pushing me to go OCS an then try to branch into 31 due to my ASVAB scores, age, etc. I was wondering though how hands on are you, or can you be as a 31A? I don’t mind “executive work” I’ve don’t plenty of it in my managerial roles as a civilian however that’s not all I want to be doing on a day to day basis. Your thoughts sir? Great vid! P.S. what schools can you get as a 31B/31A?
Hmmmm, if your really any hands on then continue with the enlisted route, but once you make SFC your less hands on just like a PL. You can do protective service training course, special reaction team course, military police investigator, there’s many more courses you can go to.
Wait WTF? A lieutenant commanding 100-200 troops in a company? I thought the minimum to command that many was a captain, and usually lieutenants command less with a platoon of 16-40 troops, so what changed?
Huh, in my unit the motor pool is constantly filled with music blasting, vulgar enlisted things, constant tobacco product usage, and usually two or more people yelling at another broken humvee or some pri. Yet the most offensive thing is a 5 jump chump wearing their wings and rocking that airborne school undershirt... *stares in pure hatred*
@@DavionWest When you have a moment, check out my company. We offer a whole slew of MP t-shirts and desk valets. I'm an old-school 95B veteran. www.warhorsesupplyco.com/military-police
This is exactly why I retired! Street talk, slang and no professionalism. When you have commissioned officers walking around doing youtube videos with lower enlisted soldiers the commander and 1SG have already failed.
So what you are saying is you do not possess the ablity to modulate the ablity to speak your soilders in-formally while still mainting their respect for when you do speak formally? Sounds like you are not a good leader.
@@notapplicable4567 What I'm saying is this. After 20 plus years in the MP Corps I noticed a drastic decline in soldier discipline, leaders ability to separate leadership and friender-ship and an overall lack of professionalism. This video just proves it. And the fact that the Command maybe ok with creating TH-cam videos while on duty further proves the lack of leadership and discipline in the military now. And just so you are aware I was a great leader, that's why I was able to serve for over 20 years.
@@retiredarmyvet2018 Your statments are invalid and hold no basis, you have no proof that he is not able to separate friendship from leadership as he is not doing anything in a formal capacity. Is he issuing commands?, is he communcating work related formal information? Need i go futher...
@@retiredarmyvet2018 guess what ? Maybe the army understands that their official posts arent the best in descriptions.. thankfully they allow it cause going in the military soon i want to choose the best and get the most insight
Oh shit I went to either BCT & or AIT with Stewart! Proud of you 👏🏿 battle. I didn’t know she was with 173rd, I was there too. If you see this sir, let her know I’ll email her. 👌🏾
It depends, If you are going the enlisted route you get to choose your job if you meet all the requirements. If you are going the Officer route then you aren't guaranteed the job, you have to compete for it.
Hey man, would you recommend MP to someone going through the branching process? Was it a good experience or did it kind of suck? I've heard both ways lol.
It sucks in the sense that, you might be working on holidays and weekends compared to your friends. BUt overall I had a good time. You have to ask if you plan on staying in 20 or no.
Hmmmm, try to find a mentor. Someone that inspires you and is very knowledgable about the military. Not only about Military Police. Listen but also ask yourself why you are doing something. Never stop learning no matter where you are in life, what position you hold. Whatever job you are doing in the army, make sure you do that job to the fullest.
Hey man I have a question if your punt on deployment as a lt in the infantry would you be doing missions or would that be all the enlisted going out and executing the objectives while you stay back?
It really comes down to what your position is when down range. But I have never been deployed down range so I can’t answer that :/ I would not want to give you false hope. But think about WW2 LTs we’re out with their soldiers on missions. It really depends on the war and amd what higher tells us.
Executive officer is a position in the Military, their duties consist of managing anything that deals with logistics for the unit. ROTC is the name of the program for all civilians that want to become an officer or the Officer candidate school (OCS) program.
Enlisted will stay enlisted unless they decide they want to switch over to the officer side. For warrant officer enlisted and can put in a packet to attend warrant officer school. For the Officer side, enlisted can choose to go green to gold “ a program where you’re in college and still getting active duty pay depending on what route you take.” Or you can finish your enlisted contract and attend college and enroll in the Rerseve Officer Training Corps. ROTC and commission once you graduate from college.
No , you have off days. Sometimes you will have times where of course you work more than 7 days a week. But good units have things in place to make sure you don’t work everyday. It really depends on the mission tbh
Conduct Law Enforcement for Fort Johnson and for the community on the base. Along with training as a combat support unit. But I am not with the unit anymore, missions always change.
@alexnrinos so this depends on what base /unit you’re in. Some units you’ll be in a patrol car a few times a week of your platoon is on the road. It really just depends on
@@DavionWest I have no one to help me and I love to join only the U.S military..Besides I’m in Ghana...I have no family member in the States so I’m confused🥺
@@rolandfaruk9664First, you need to be a citizen/resident in the US. You also need to be between the ages of 17-34 years and have a highschool diploma. Maybe if you move the US and become a citizen, you can find a recruiter and ask them for more info.
The fraternization and familiarity between this 'officer' and his subordinates is shameful. As an enlisted man, I would have never lowered my bearing and addressed a commissioned officer in such a flippant, unprofessional manner. I can't tell you how many times I had officers and senior NCO's address me casually and attempt to transcend professional distance. I never, ever, accepted nor tolerated the lowering of standards. Our nation is morally and ideologically lost and this video is just further evidence that we as a society are in deep trouble.

Wassup Lt.West
Is the executive officer the ( officer ( college graduate ) ) officer program for the military police ?
Executive officer is a position in the Military, their duties consist of managing anything that deals with logistics for the unit. ROTC is the name of the program for all civilians that want to become an officer or the Officer candidate school (OCS) program.
@@DavionWest understood. So once completing ocs what route can a person take to become a military officer ?
Was the gym on base? I’m thinking about joining as a officer
It was on base.
Have you gotten any patrol time?
As a platoon leader yes
Sheeesh pvt blackman😍😍😍😍
Can you explain army ranks? Do enlisted move on to warrant officer ranks? Do they progress to officer ranks?
Enlisted will stay enlisted unless they decide they want to switch over to the officer side. For warrant officer enlisted and can put in a packet to attend warrant officer school. For the Officer side, enlisted can choose to go green to gold “ a program where you’re in college and still getting active duty pay depending on what route you take.” Or you can finish your enlisted contract and attend college and enroll in the Rerseve Officer Training Corps.

A 2lt is basically a private. There you go.
Do u work everyday
No , you have off days. Sometimes you will have times where of course you work more than 7 days a week. But good units have things in place to make sure you don’t work everyday. It really depends on the mission tbh
