If any of you want to be SF, just know if you want a good career dont get caught up in drama, embrace the suck, and take advantage of any opportunity you get because this job can be very depressing if you dont make something of yourself. Most people end up cross training or just getting out of the military due to their SF experience. Speaking as an active duty SF with 4 year contract about halfway thru. Good luck to you all best wishes.
I was drafted in 1967 and was able to get in the AF before induction! Sent to Security Police School and went to Viet Nam in 1969. Working in Law Enforcement I experienced every imaginable type of crime from Drug Smuggling , theft, suicide and murder! And a 122 rocket attack several nights! It was a hell of a run but in the end I got out after 4!
planning on going into USAF Security forces then and staying for 4 years. after the 2nd year ima move to Raven for SF, for 2 years. then after 4 years are up ima go to Arkansas State Police
Hello! I’m not in yet but I graduate high school next year and I’ve been thinking about joining the military to get some experience before going to civilian law enforcement. One question, in the Security Forces, is there still time at the end of the day to complete some college courses?
I’ve said this before on other AFSF videos but it bears repeating. The career field is very much a YMMV situation based on a lot of factors you can’t control and a few that you can. OPs tempo, what base you are stationed, management priorities and philosophy, availability of additional schools and training, squadron politics, out of your control for the most part. Whether you go AD, Guard or Reserves, seeking out every opportunity, having a positive attitude and good work ethic, getting an education….these you can control. I did 21 years active and Guard (ret MSgt) and had a parallel career as a Criminal Investigator for the USMS. A good ride, no regrets.
Leaving on may 23rd for basic I chose to be apart of SF mainly because I wanted to be law enforcement. Have a job in military to translate outside of military. Hope i end up loving it.
Just a heads up 85% of combatives is getting smoked and 15% is actually learning the moves 🤷♂️ when you get to your unit you'll have to relearn everything
I have a love hate relationship with my security forces career that ended only 3 ish years in. Leadership at my base was extremely toxic and left a bad taste in my mouth on SF and to the Airforce.. on the other hand the training was good and I’m currently a experienced civilian law enforcement officer, looking back when I was a teenager and new defender I do appreciate what SF set my future career up for.
@@markxchill9894 It depends on the state you reside in but for me all I needed was to pass a physical fitness test and psych eval, having the military experience obviously helps in the interview process and what not but that's all I had to do to get hired and sent to the police academy in my state.
Your ASVAB test, physical exam, citizenship, and moral standards determine your job/career qualifications. Don Air Force and Space Force Recruiting Service
@@Wsportys The higher you score in each section on the ASVAB the more options you're given in that section, at least that's how it was when I joined. I scored higher on the maintainer section so i was given options what airframe I wanted to work on, which i got. Working on C-17s, basically the same engines on airliners (turbofans), and so I'll be working with the airlines after I get my A&P after I get out and that's a 90K per year (starting) job in the civilian world. Been in for 4 years and the AF is a good spot to get started with OJT for someone with no experience to learn a career, or make a career out of

Dont go crazy when you get a little freedom during the second phase at the academy. I never went a week without losing my saturday due to some loser getting busted downtown and getting all of us in trouble. Study on your free time and get that Distinguished Graduate certificate; its the best way to be noticed by your unit Chief and Commander when you get to your duty station. They’ll see it and wont assume you are a “schitt”-bird. Then buckle down and devote your first year volunteering for literally EVERYTHING EVERYDAY OF EVERY MONTH! You’ll have a chance at your base’s Outstanding Airman Of the Year. Once you get that trophy and probably a commendation medal and maybe a promotion to A1C or SrA, you’ll never have to stress again. You’ll spend the next 18 years cruising towards a pension.
I was a K9 handler who guarded parked aircraft, ammo bunkers, and missiles which had never moved. I walked around fences at night with a dog in arctic-cold weather. I was as much a cop as a school crossing guard. The job was painfully boring, with unpaid-long hours. Sometimes we wrote fellow airmen cheesy tickets. The Asvab score ties with being a cook. It's where they dump people who flunk other tech schools. Avoid this schit job.
@@KhariDaKiddit’s what you make it most of the people that hated it was because they scored too low on their ASVAB and couldn’t get a different job. But there’s also shot of people who love it. Just make sure you do research to see if it’s a fit for you
12 years as a defender and loved it. I also didn’t sit on the flight line and complain that it was boring. I took opportunities for training and deployments and made the best of my time. The people who hated it were always the ones in trouble or worked like they had 2 left feet so they didn’t have the muster for more intense assignments.
I enlisted to be a photographer, my Recruiter said I'd be flying in the back seat of F15's with high resolution cameras. Got to Lackland AFB, found out, no such job existed, but, here you go, Security Forces. Four years later, Personnel Officer, "Well Sergeant Wootie, have you thought about re-enlisting?" Me: "Well Sir, can I get out of Security Forces?" Personnel Officer: "Well, after you re-enlist, we can talk about that." Me: "LOL....No Sir."
i got a peanut allergy and i have epipen, although i haven’t had a reaction sense i was 11. will i be disqualified if i try to join? this would the the career i’d like to join as.
Unfortunately, that would normally be disqualifying. However, you may reach out to your area recruiter for further information. Pam Air Force and Space Force Recruiting Service
Where can I find the training and standard to join, I’m 16 and starting to workout and run but I want to know what I should actually focus on and make myself useful for whenever I enlist.
The requirements for both males and females as well as the Thunderbolt and Warhawk fitness awards are listed below. MALES: 1.5 Mile Run -- < 30 years of age - 1.5 mile run in 11:57 or less 30 - 39 years of age - 1.5 mile run in 11:57 Push -Ups --
You graduate from boot camp and the next day you take a bus down the street to the SF Academy. During the heavy weapons phase of training you get bussed a little further to Camp Bullis. But basically youre gonna spend 5 months in and around san antonio until you graduate from tech school, then when you get to your first duty station you will occasionally be sent to other air force bases for specific training. For example you can get pre deployment training, jungle warfare training, sent to some other state for an exercise, or get temporarily assigned to another base to augment their security.
Good morning and yes I will watch the and yes I will be there in the same way that I was trained to communicate with observation and yes report writing 😁 and I know the perfect way to communicate and always and tell you about that something and what now is not normal because I want to communicate and get real quick and done
Before you commit to active duty, look into air national guard. It’s playing air force but only one weekend a month and you get a guarantee to be stationed at whichever air guard base is near your hometown haha.
That is where you learn your career, You will attend that immediately after basic training is complete. Don Air Force and Space Force Recruiting Service
You'll learn it at your duty station. Tell the CATM instructor to actually make the troop qualify not just push troops through Pissing me off what youre pushing through and turning out. Youre not helping the cause with the quality you're sending out
Tattoos: In Addition to full sleeves, One tattoo on the neck is authorized and will not exceed 1-inch in measurement in any direction for enlistment or appointment (The neck tattoo will only be placed behind a vertical line at the opening of the ear orifice around the back to a vertical line at the opening of the other ear orifice and includes behind the ear) Ring tattoos are limited to a single band, on one finger of each hand, no more than 3/8 of an inch in width below the knuckle and above the finger joint (portion closest to the palm). In addition to the ring tattoo, a single tattoo is authorized on each hand; the tattoo will not exceed the size of 1-inch measured in any direction. Don Air Force and Space Force Recruiting Service
You would want to reach out to your area Police Department to inquire on what their requirements would be. Pam Air Force and Space Force Recruiting Service
You would still need to go to a civilian police academy upon leaving the Air Force. But your experience gained in the military would give you a much better shot at getting hired and applicable skills for the job

@v1clips2 By Federal Law you must be at least age 17 with parental consent and at least a junior to have an appointment or to join the Air Force. However, they may speak to recruiters when they come to their high school. While you are still too young to enlist into the Air Force, it is never too early to start preparing. There are a few things you can do now to prepare for once you reach the required age. First study hard and graduate from high school. Get the best grades you can in all subjects especially English, Math and Science. This will help you improve your score on the ASVAB test which is required for enlistment. Say no to drugs and get an early start on physical conditioning are important steps in the right direction. And stay out of trouble. Law violations can delay and in some cases will disqualify you from joining the Air Force and taking advantage of the opportunities available. Starting early and being prepared are your best shot. Stay in contact with your Guidance Counselor and maybe we will see you next year. You may research more information about the Air Force on our site of www.airforce.com to include benefits like education, careers, training, lifestyle, requirements, etc. There is also the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) portion that answers a lot of the most common questions asked: www.airforce.com/frequently-asked-questions/ You may also log on to Airforce.com to chat with a live advisor for assistance or call us to answer questions. If qualified you can join at age 17 with parental consent during your junior or senior year in high school as part of The Air Force Ambassador Program and enter the Delayed Entry Program (DEP), but you will not go to Basic Military Training (BMT) until AFTER you graduate high school.
