The coveted MP brassard adorns the left shoulder of a 93rd Military Police Battalion Soldier who has just crossed the "Thin Blue Line," signifying that Soldier is now qualified to patrol the Streets of Fort Bliss, Texas, Nov. 26. The 93rd Military Police Battalion’s “Thin Blue Line Ceremony” is a rite of passage for military police officers who have either recently entered the ranks of MP’s, or are returning from deployment and will shortly begin a road assignment on Fort Bliss.
