PRP

You can sign up for PRP here at MA school. As soon as you're approved for PRP you can either be sent to Washington, Georgia and a few other places I can't exactly remember. All we've really been told is you're guarding the nuclear weapons but I've heard that PRP honestly sucks with hours and what the job entails. The instructors here talk it up to be super awesome but I've heard different from a few other people. So I'm just wanting an opinion from some other people on PRP so I can make an educated desicion for myself.

I imagine it could probably suck with hours and how strict it is. My squadron is involved in the nuclear shenanigans and I know our MAs HATE it. 14 watch shifts doing nothing. They're supposed to be 12 hours but they have to show up early to arm up and what not. They just check IDs and rove around. Mostly just IDs and sitting in a small truck

Last I heard was that it's miserable work. Nature of the beast - we don't screw around with nukes.

Bright side is that you get great gear, great training, and it's a career enhancer. They've even got a shiny pin for you to work on as well.
