MP security forces? Man you are going active right away and will be guarding luggage at airports. I would re-think my choice.

Nope!
When a unit or a detachment thereof goes active no new recruiting is allowed for that unit.
In the interim, I will be part of a local ASG unit, will drill with the MP unit and will not be faced with any type of active duty any sooner than I complete basic (9-11 wks) or AIT (17-18 wks).
After that who knows......if my det is still active I may go where they are provided that I have the required training at that point in time for the mission they are on.
Besides, airport duty is voluntary right now for my unit and the det is stateside guarding Federal Installations............either way...............it is still service to this country and a common cause..................[b][i]that[/b][/i] is the main objective.
Glamour... i.e. doing something besides guarding luggage......is not part of the formula my friend.
