Hi everyone, I’m a 17-year-old student from Switzerland and I’m about to attend my orientation day soon. I’m currently finishing my 2nd year of Gymnasium and will probably graduate in summer 2028. I’m interested in functions such as Military Police Grenadier (MP Grenadier), Grenadier, and possibly the motorcycle related one i think its called traffic soldier (The A licence would be nice). I have a few questions and would appreciate hearing from people with experience: How difficult is it really to become an MP Grenadier or Grenadier? Are there any known physical benchmarks or selection tests beyond the standard recruitment fitness test? Approximately how many people become Grenadiers or MP Grenadiers each year? If I apply for MP Grenadier but fail the selection, what usually happens? Do I get to choose another function, or am I simply assigned wherever the army needs people? I noticed that the Function Finder only shows MP Grenadier and not the regular Military Police. Is there still a normal Military Police function for recruits? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! submitted by /u/Substantial_Depth656
