Royal Military Police or Royal Engineers? Or other in Army?

How old are you now? What other jobs/roles have you looked at? Would you like to have a long army career or leave after a few years? What else have you considered doing? Have you looked at the army's website? Good luck if you do join up, there are a few people on TSR who are serving/have served and can answer questions if you can't find answers elsewhere. Good luck!

What attracts you to those roles? What is it about them you like? Why might "something completely different" also work?

I'm currently 16 in my last year of secondary school. I've looked at other roles but i can't decide what to actually do. The RMP interests me because of the close protection aspect of it and I've always been interested in the royal engineers. At the moment I don't know how long I want to be in the army for.

I doubt you could describe any job in the army as 'boring'. As an engineer you could get the chance to train as a para, commando, diver, armoured vehicle driver, welder, electrician, bomb disposal... In the RMP you may be able to do para and/or commando training, but not the rest. Two very different jobs there.

I was part of the RMP and I can say that it has great career branches. The down side is most other Corps don't like us. For some reason they take it personally when you have to arrest them for beating up their wives or for smashing up a bar down town or for stealing from their own colleagues (but I digress). If you join the RMP you can indeed do the CP course (which is world renowned). Most freshmen get loaded onto the CP course so you may find yourself on the course soon after arriving at your first unit. By joining the RE you may get to fill in some hessian sacks some where hot, but in the RMP you can specialize in a variety of trades such as CSI, test/purchase (undercover officer), level 1 surveillance officer etc. With such qualifications you get to work closely with all the Home Office Police forces and if you're good enough, you'll have the chance to work with European-wide agencies. I say go for RMP.

I can't do para or commando as I am female; probably should of said that before.

On the website they only mention CSI and CP

That's regardless. Bar CP, I did the courses I mentioned and then some

Women can attempt the all arms commando course.

hmm that is good then

The RMP is definitely a option I am considering. Is it a good career?

...guard the front gate next to the hessian sacks.

OP - do your own homework and see what you want to do. The roles are VERY different in almost every way so you need to pick out the best bits for you.

This will be a cliche but it depends on what you want. Speak to any group of RMP and you'll find the things that one person may love another may hate.

what did you like about the role?

i) You get to make amazing friendships with some of the most 'colourful' characters. I've been out for a few years now and I don't have anywhere near as strong a bond with my civilian friends as I do with my RMP friends.
ii) You're given responsibility almost immediately after arriving at your first unit so you have to mature sharpish (although some people mistake acting like a responsible RMP for acting like a pedantic bully).
iii) With some of the jobs I responded to it gave me a deep insight into human nature.
iv) The Home Office courses I attended were arduous but very fulfilling and worthy. When I joined some of the specialist teams after passing the relevant courses, the jobs were exciting and dynamic (e.g the surveillance team).
v) I served in various European countries (6 months here, a month there) but spent most of my time in Germany (you probably won't get a chance to serve there due to the draw down).
vi) Loved some of my deployments like Iraq but hated other like Afghanistan.
vii) There are plenty of other things as well, but I would never mention them to a 16 year old girl (no offence, but these thing are more appropriate for a locker room environment).

But despite the good, there are an awful lot of terrible parts to the job.

You need to find your own truth in this matter. Have a sit down and really think about what you want from the Forces. You should keep your options open in regards to the Navy and RAF as well.
