Am I Considered Small To Become A Military Police?

I am 5'5, 150 lbs. It's really hard for me to gain muscle. I have a fast metabolism so its hard to gain weight. I am also a male which makes my physicality smaller. I have lots of stamina and endurance but no size at all. Any suggestions/Advice?

The Army will mold you into the size they want in boot camp.
Reply:Advice - Do not join
Reply:No, as others have stated, there are tiny females in the MP corps, i had one in my squad that was barely 5' tall but she was a great soldier. There aren't too many times where you will have to get physical because most soldiers know that when MP's come on scene, its time to stop acting like knuckleheads. Ive been in one scuffle when i worked the road, and i was a specialist at the time and had to wrestle a sergeant major to the ground and apprehend him, man, he was pissed, it was kind of funny though.
Reply:don't join the army
Reply:I spent 7 years as an MP out of MO here. Ive seen all sizes.

Seen little bitty females also. Its not about the size of your body,but the size of your attitude! I was only 5'9" and 150lb,

that didnt stop me from doing the job. Remember,MP's dont work like Civi-police,we work in pairs or squads so you

never have to take on a situation by yourself. Plus,you will

learn many techniqes to make up for size.
Reply:You are not too small. I am only 5'8 and 155. When I graduated MP AIT, there was a female in my platoon who was only 4'11 and had to weigh less than 100 lbs.
Reply:yes..
Reply:I have a female friend who is 5'0 and 100 lbs, and she is military police. If she can do it, then you can too.
Reply:Don't worry about it. It will in no way effect your performance of your duties. Just put a perp in a rear naked choke and hang on.
Reply:you haven't realized yet that it's your smallness that makes you want to be an MP? it seems like lots of small males go on to be law enforcement of some sort. it's like an ego boost or something.
Reply:lol. no worries. if thats the MOS u wanna join, they will sculpt you that way. ull have weigh ins regularly and goals to reach. if you have to gain weight, they will make you.
