These brave, young military police officers are the first people you'll see as you enter the front gates, and they're the last people you'll spot as you exit.

1. The over-the-top nice guy who is just excited to be in the military.

He's also the guy you thought you could out-run if you needed to, but he was a track star in high school. You'll find out the hard way.

2. That Marine MP who is just looking for a reason to subdue you.

"Lie to me one more time."

Marine Sgt. Shawn Brown shows the proper armlock technique during a guard training class to the Royal Tongan Marines.

 

3. The cute one who makes every troop want to wait in her lane at the gate, even if it's backed up, just to say, "hey."

5. The MP officer with a criminal law degree that can see right through your bullsh*t.

6. The soldier who is just itching to deploy, but first he needs to check your identification.

It's not that just because they are motivated, it's just they want to make an impact, somehow.
