Good to see a blue beret on youtube. I was security from 73-93. Thailand, korea, portugese azores, nukes stateside, even short tour intelligence in southeast Asia. No regrets.
Honestly my last deployment was awesome and we did off base convoys everyday. But I was lucky and I don’t want to set a big expectation for people coming in because it really is a few that will get it anymore
Hey man! I am about to do Security forces!I am super excited! I am a little disappointed I won't go beyond the gates to more hostile environments but I am super excited for my career!
I got K9 right after tech school and served 4 years. It was nothing but a security guard job and was painfully boring. I guarded parked airplanes, ammo bunkers, and missile sites. This is what guards do at condominiums. I checked the same ID cards at gates and walked around perimeter fences. We worked 12-hour tours for the same pay and promotions as others who worked 8-hours. Sometimes we wrote other airmen cheesy tickets while thinking we were cops. I never saw an arrest being made or participated in one. The 24/7 hrs make it difficult to attend college. The Asvab requirement ties with becoming a cook. I say (respectfully) avoid this job.
Hey man! i know time flies and you may not see this comment but i’m looking to do security forces but the only issue is that i have pre existing heart conditions and i don’t want to get tased. do you know if i have to be taser qualified to do this job? Thanks!
Hey, so as far as that goes OC spray is not optional but when I came in getting tased was optional and it should still be that way. For me it was once I reached my base you can get tased or not it’s optional you did not have to get tased to be taser qualified.

Did you guys get any air guard guys attached to you for deployment?
We had a few guard guys out with us.
