The Truth About Air Force Security Forces | Military Police Vlog 

In security forces, if you had a boring day, that means nothing bad happened and it was a good day.. I'm currently in DEP and security forces is one of my picks.. when I hear someone say it's boring, they've never had a real job in the civilian world.. I've worked several from selling cellphones, to being a production manager for a radio station to landscaping... And take it from me, if your job is boring that's means you really don't have to work hard.. be greatful

Nice backdrop...National Harbor. Was one of my favorite hangouts when I was stationed at Bolling.

I'm a former Air Force Security Policeman from the late 1970's. Back when our sidearm was a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver. But we had M-60 Machine Guns, M-203 Grenade launcher, et cetera Patrolled priority resources and posted Entry controller at various sites such as SR-71 Reconnaissance Aircraft, B-52 Bombers, F-4 fighter aircraft, RC-135 electronic surveillance aircraft and KC-135 tanker's. I miss doing my job. The Air Force SP field was a great job.

We have a few Deputies who were SF and they seemed to like their experiences. My son is SF out in WY doing missile security and really likes his assignment and the people he works with... I think who you work with makes a big difference. He's been at his FDS since June 2018 so... so far so good. Regardless of the negative comments, THANK YOU to all for your service.

I'm glad I came across this video because Im planning on doing AF security forces. I previously wanted to do special operations but I changed my mind. I still wish I had my bachelor's to do special investigations.

I worked in the precursor to Security Forces, we were Security Police, my job was with weapons systems security. This meant we controlled access to the flight line (runway field) any restricted areas to include Bomber Alert, Weapons Storage, Tanker Alert. We also had a nuclear mission with B-52's and KC-135's on 15 minute ground alert. This meant the bombers were loaded with weapons and fuel and ready for take-off. Tankers were loaded with fuels required for their mission. These aircraft were already pre flighted, all the crews had to do is drive up and jump and fire up the engines. Because of the mission we had signs announcing a restricted area and that Use of Deadly Force is Authorized. We never had to shoot anyone, however anyone breaking the restricted area boundary would be standing in front of their Commander's Desk, not a good Day!! We were there no matter the weather 24/7 365 days a year. We served with Strategic Air Command and through it's history never had a weapons accident in the 46 years it was a part of the US Air Force. I served from December 1977 to June 1982 at my SAC base before discharging from the Air Force at the end of my enlistment. We also experienced the effects from the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in May 1980. There were usually times of boredom, then times of extreme action! We were tested by the Standardization Branch of our base at least every 6 months as it was required. You had to be proficient or you would be talking with the Commander! I personally was awarded an achievement award for acing the Stand board evaluation of the alarm system I controlled. I made 100% on the test, the first in the entire command to do so. The Commander made a big deal of it. We were also put on extreme readiness during the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan. The most stressful was knowing for certain that because of our mission, if the Soviet Union was to start nuclear war, we at our base would be vaporized in about 15 minutes!!! That was always on your mind, but we chose to do our mission in spite of the threat!!! I was also able to shake the hand of President Jimmy Carter as he arrived at our base after Mt. St. Helens erupted to see the damage from the air. I was tasked by this huge Secret Service Agent to secure the air control tower as Air Force One was going to land. I was issued one order, shoot first, ask questions later. I did not have to shoot anyone. Then this agent put me in the reception line for the President, I was still armed with my M-16 and side pistol. I doubt I will ever top that achievement. The most rewarding was to supervise some of the best Airmen in the Air Force!!!

Yes! This is exactly what I’ve been wanting!! Thank you for another great video!

Great video babe! Good to see you keeping busy while I’m gone 😊

I was security police for 20 years in the usaf. N o regrets. I was security, the infantry of the airforce. Guarded nuclear weapons, anti terrorism, did a succesful hostage rescue 1975, was with intelligence unit southeast asia, took hostile fire from commies along thai/laotion border, airbase ground defense mission in korea, set up secrity for pesidential support in portugese azores 1 month before berlin wall came down, taught combat tactics to 3rd combat communications group in their mission in operation desert storm and the south american drug war. The airforce hates us...until the shit hits the fan!

I jumped a lot of AWAKS in Panama. Sat a lot of gates too. I also got to drive off instalation both in Cali and pani. I loved it

Stationed there for 6 years...97 to 03....so cool to see it again

AFSF is definitely a YMMV situation. There is a lot of things all SF troops will experience but at the end of the day it’s different for everyone. I did 21 years active and guard which also led to a 21 year federal LE career (INS Deportation Officer and Criminal Investigator USMS). If you go into it try to maintain a good attitude, look for opportunities and make the most of it.

Great video man, this is one of the jobs I'm interested in when I go Air Force. I'd love more SF content!

I did 8 yrs as an SP.... now SF. Stationed at 4 bases... yes you do meet people from other squadrons.. plus i played softball on and off base.

91-96 SF hoo-uh to you! AFSP/SF rocks! The BEST experience of my life!

I did 5 years in Marines 3 was in Marine Security Forces. Wich is ultimately the Military version of SWAT we art cops but sometimes we got to suplamint Navy MAs. Best thing about MCSF is spending 5 days a week at the range. Currently re entering Via AF and looking as AF security forces.

I was Security Police/Security Forces (Law Enforcement Specialist). I have been stationed lots of places in CONUS and overseas. Got to be involved in a lot of law enforcement incidents at all my bases. Fights at the clubs, DWI's, lots of domestic disturbances in Base Housing and the barracks, traffic crashes and traffic enforcement. Got to work Town Patrol while stationed at Osan AB S. Korea, Not to mention the deployments. The gate guard is probably the only Security Forces member your average military member ever encounters. But, crimes don't investigate themselves and aircraft and other military assets don't secure themselves.

I seen one of your videos for the first time about a month ago, and I think I’ve seen every single video you have so far lol good stuff dude 👌🏼👌🏼 highly looking forward to joining this year

Im SF based at CMAFS in colorado. I work a mids Shift thats a 12 hour since we are undermaned. Im very lucky at this base tho because every post has 2 computers with internet. Which is great to help pass the time since nothing happens here for the majority of the year. Myself and mnay other airman here in security forces are using our time at work to do college papers or study since we have such a large amount of time doing essentially waiting for something to go wrong. From my experience if you are hoping for the military experience of being a solider or want to be a police officer. This job will not put you through those kinds of situations as often as civ police or marines do who go on deployments. What you will get in joining security forces is a ton of training, good training on being police. if you keep your record clean and pass everything they throw at you. you can at your 2 year mark be able to go for something like K-9, Catm, RAVEN, DAGRE. But remember this is two years after working as most likey a gate guard. Without you fucking that up or doing something stupid off work that would risk your job. If you have any further questions about this job or airforce basic or security forces tech school, ill respond to as many as i can in this comment section.

When I was in the USAF (1984-89) I was in the Security Police/LE (AFSC 81152 (yes I still remember my code)). Back then you could go into LE right out of basic but things have changed. I was glad to be in LE instead of security because I got to do vehicle patrol (back when they had V8 Ford LTD cop cars). Then at Clark AB, Philippines I did Town Patrol which was quite the experience.

Thank you man for this helpful

I’m coming from the Army National Guard to AD Air Force as security forces.. Honestly I’m pretty excited

I was Security Police (Law Enforcement) back in the day. Worst part was not getting any time off. 24 hr break was for training, so was the first day of your 3 day break after working six days. Most other career fields train during their duty day. All appts had to be on your off time. Federal holidays, when the rest of the base is off, not you. Family days, sorry, exercises cancel your break and you don’t get that time back. Short manned, just extend to a 12 hr shift which turns out to be 14 after weapons issue and turn in. One advantage is going forward, I could always look back and say I have seen worse.

Great job, with this video, more about Military Police.

Really like this video and I sign my contract this Monday for security forces u really influenced my opinion going airforce or coast guard so think u so much

Glad to see the motivation in the video. SF will give you the tools to succeed in life. SF 01-05 Great Video

Awesome video man! I ship out for bmt on April 2nd and my number one choice was security forces and that’s what I got so I would definitely love to see more SF content! Keep up the awesome videos bro!

More security forces videos!! Good video Could u do a day in the life of SF?

I’ve heard a lot of stuff about people in security forces who get “stuck” with a job as a sentry at a missile launch site and that it’s the worst job in the field by far. Is it really that bad and do people ever get the chance to change their job within security forces if they’re in that position?

Hey my son is leaving July, what base is your buddy from?? Yes show us the dorm please! Thx for this video brother really appreciate it!

If you are SF in a reserve component, you spend a LOT of your limited time TRAINING. Yes, you train, so you may be viable when you are called to duty, IF you are called to duty. If you are lucky enough to work at your base, you may be a glorified door-checker, perimeter check and surveillance troop, or any of the other positions that require minimal thought and activity. If you are working the desk, you are a comm control point, so you have more heat on you. If you are a "gate guard," you do check I.D.'s and verify information before allowing contractors and visitors entry onto the base. One thing civvies or non-SF personnel forget is that, at an entry control point, you don't wait to check I.D.'s if someone is coming in hot, and those weapons on SF's hips, legs, and wherever else WERE MADE FOR TAKING OUT RISK. DO NOT DISCOUNT THE ROLE OF SECURITY FORCES.

Great video bro!

Actually starts at 2:40 yw

good shit man! keep going

My family used to be stationed on Ft. Meade. My dad was Public Affairs.

Barbell brigade hoody. I see you lol.

How about a video on more Security Forces specialties? (DAGRE, Tactical Response Team, Close Precision Engagement Teams, etc.)

My boy “Dirty D” lol. This popped up on my feed and saw Diaz 😂

Nice Barbell Brigade hoodie Pedro! (I’m a fan of the RU-vidr that owns the brand)

I lived in that dorm at Andrews 40 years ago. Yikes, it's been that long ago.

n between BMT and tech school did you have to take another test before going into SF??

i've been considering security forces, so another video would be awesome!

There's a lot that he did not cover but he was right about every base is completely different in many different ways. It depends on the type of command that oversees them. It depends on the resources that are available at that base. The one thing I will definitely disagree on is going on my days off to do any type of training. something I've never agreed with they should do it while you're working. I was stationed over at Hill Air Force Base. We were responsible for a separate area about an hour northwest of the main base. And we also had the UTTR which is our bombing range. I've had the opportunity to run code for plane crashes all the way out in the middle of nowhere almost 2 hours away. Our base also had a thing called concurrent jurisdiction. Our jurisdiction intertwined with the local law enforcement so if we pursued off base we can still go after them we would eventually turn them over to locals though. Our base was mixed security and law enforcement. One day you could be doing security another day you can be doing law enforcement.

I'm currently going through school to be a cop and will be joining the ANG as a Security bro and maybe trying my hand at JTAC. I appreciate the vid man

It seems to be the least liked in most all of the career choices. But it was the very first that peaked my interest amongst the others I’ve been researching. I need to be up and going or else I’ll get this feeling of guilt. It’s something I genuinely want to do despite the effort I’ll have to put in

“Met Brady a month ago” “hey I know that guy” lmao

Can you do a video for Fire Protection

Hola from the Caribbean Island Puerto Rico☆ right now I just pass asvab, Meps and I'm was about to join but because I have a baby 2 years old (still breastfeed) I'm not sure if go Active or reserve... Thanks for all your videos. I'm was thinking in join Security Forces, do SF deploy a lot? Any advice? Gracias! Thank youuuuu☆ Blessings ♡

Born at Malcom Grow on Andrews that base gave me some many good memories lol

Hola! I have a baby 1 year old, considering go SF, I already pass Asvab and physical... but I'm worried about the long shifts and not have time enough with my baby boy (I still Breastfeed). Did you recommend me Air NG or is possible family time working in SF? Thank youuu GRACIAS! Be Bless🙏

you should do another video with more information about security forces

can you pick what you do in security forces or are you just put somewhere like i want to be in the law enforcement unit of security forces is that a choice i could make?

He mentioned the tech school has changed completely. What about it changed? He didn’t discuss how it is currently.

Dope cinematics for the intro

More security forces videos please :)

I did 15 years as a Security Policeman (6 active/9 ANG). 3 years at Dyess SAC Bombers, since we had 3 Squadrons of MAC C-130's we did a lot of ABGD (fought Army Calvary Scouts at Ft. Hood A LOT). I was assigned to one of the first EST (SWAT) Teams in the USAF (went to FBI SWAT School). 1 year in Turkey at a MUNSS Sight I was the NCOIC of Arms and Equipment and Team Leader for a Joint Service Anti-Terrorist Team. 2 years at Langley on the Tactical Air Command Guard doing security for the Commander and Chief the Tactical Air Command. 9 years in the USAF Air National Guard. Our unit was in the field doing ABGD every other weekend and I completed Silver Flag Alpha (USAF Security Desert Warfare and Survival School Indian Springs AB Nevada). While I was in the Air Guard...my civilian job was...Alabama State Trooper on TAC1 and TAC Team 2 (SWAT). I loved my time as a SP in the USAF and got to do a lot of different things during those 15 years!!

How do you get away from the gate checking and into one of the other aspects?

Why cant I find any videos of whats its like to by MP at Area 51.

Haaaa shout-out to Nando Peri - Peru.. Thanks for the video I will be going SF

Does the security force guard the inner facility of Area 51? I know the Airforce implements contractors for outside perimeter security, however who guards inside the facility?

Another thing is when you promote and hassle your chain, you could also be attached to SFOSI and work the investigations side of the house.

what was your asvab text score. so i know what to shoot for when taking it. because i am interested in security forces

What is the ASVAB score requirement for the Air Force? For military police.

Can Airforce MP or any MP carry off base from state to state?

Great video!

Do y’all also go to war or stay to protect the base???

DiazZzzzz HAHAH ITS LUBAG! Sup bro! Crazy catching you on RU-vid 😆

1st!!! 💪🏽👏

I knew it was real when I saw the thug life mat

How many semester credits do you get for tech school?

Please make another video for security forces

You're at my birthplace💪🏼

More security forces videos!

I'm leaving for BMT this summer and my job is Security Forces

question: are SF deployed to different countries? Is there a time process you need to go through in order to be transferred out country?

Can you join but currently a police officer ?

Can I be in the Air Force security forces in the ROTC program?

do more info on ravens.. and if you get to travel a lot in that job

If you have any questions on bmt or security forces tech school lmk I will answer truthfully, I graduated bmt last Friday (02-08-19) I’m in tech school rn

When I was in the Air Force we were security police I was in SAC which most of the new guys know anything about .

Andrews! A couple miles away from where I live.

If I put Security Forces high on my list of jobs, do I have a high chance of getting it?

Cool video

this it chief

what firearms u guys use? The MP for the army uses M9

What is deployment like for security forces. And is tech school similar to the police academy?

My name is chervens I would like to be a MP but i wanna how can i do that

You think I could still do security forces even with a dwi?

Please do more

Do the Air Force security forces have their own swat team

The only thing that changed with tech school is that they get oc sprayed, and they do night firing. I was in tech school when the course changed. Also if you need someone to talk about the nuclear side of SF hmu on insta @vyastrzab and I can tell you about the nuclear side of SF

Would you be willing to make a video describing how it’d be joining the Air Force married and with a child? The benefits behind it, living on a base etc. I’d appreciate it ! 🤙🏼

How do you get into the k-9?

I’m going in to security forces at Andrews any advice

how bad is the OC spray? did he have prior service guys going through the school house with him? if so how were they treated?

do you have any info on security forces for the Marines?

I consider that gate stuff as a joke lol. I’m in the army and we do that stuff as a detail anyone can do that 😂.

I plan to do this for the reserves while I go to college and then after college I'm going to be a pilot. Is this a good plan?

My son in SF an he says it’s Boring I myself find it hard too Believe could it be Him not wanting too get involved

What asvab score do you need to get into security forces?
