Norge,
You've got a uniform for just about every MOS in the US Army, and I'm sure that if there were a rank for Grand Admiral of the Turkish Navy, I've sure you could dig in your collection and come up with the appropriate uniform

Somebody correct me here.... The marines use SP (shore patrol) instead of MP, right???
Nice uniform norge...

the us marines used that mp arm band here
in norway on exersices.

i still have a picture in one of my photo albums somewhere
of a us marine that i was friend with in 1990.

not shure about the shore patrol band unless when they
was close to the hangar ship.
norway" marines was air lifted mostly
except the 4th meu that came in normal way with a amtrac

cheers norge,btw thanks for cool feedback

Bypah,

The USMC police go by MP just like the Army. The Navy still has SP's but shore patrol duties are mostly taken over by contract civilian security that are doing the work in stateside ports. Most of the SP's for the Navy operate in foreign ports or on ships nowadays.

The Navy uses MA's. Last I knew Marines are only under control of the Navy when stationed on a ship. Once on shore both branches have separate divisions that handle policing affairs. My original designation was GM (Gunner's Mate) then once I completed school for VBSS I was an MA (Master at Arms) which is the Navy equivalent to an MP.

Spin house,

Yes, that is correct. MA's are still assigned to ships for security but in US ports and on naval bases the contractors are widely seen. There are 4 Naval bases in my state and each one has a different security service on it. It's been awhile since I was in the Marines but I did remember seeing MA's on ship. Also I just ran into a MA unit from the east coast that was going to Baharian not to long ago. They were going over to some foreign naval port for security.

Treesuit, spinhouse....thanks both for the info...
Is good to learn spmthing new...
Peace!
