I go to MEPS in 2 hours and I’m so excited. Hopefully I pass everything and I can join security forces.
Dylan I’m late but good luck!
How was bmt
You get in?
Are you still in ?
How’d it go my man let me know , I’m interested. 17 yrs of age
yall gave me a much better insight
This job is what you make of it, alot of people go in expecting to be riding patrol and thats not the case. Most Airman won't see patrol until they are a Senior Airman, but it also depends on the base and leadership. Also ask for opportunities dont just sit around and wait until they give it to you because they want to see you are motivated. For me its been a pretty good job so far but everyone's experience is different so don't let other's experiences with it deter you cuz yours will be completely different
Can this career field lead to detective work?
@@kdrage2544 ^ was wondering this too
"Not many instances in the civilian sector that provide you with aircraft contact"

Did this for 21 yrs and retired. Had ups and downs but loved it
What were the ups and downs
@@kevindelgado717 glad you asked. The downs would be. Everyone on base hates you because you make them follow the rules. Long and boring days of routine. Most times you run into way to many chiefs and no enough Indians.
The positives were when something did happen we were tip of spear and got to see and do it first. When stationed overseas your training really came into focus. The friendships we made and comrade is unmatched. Those were just a few.
Note: take every off duty class you can afford to become better at shooting, hand to hand, etc.
I am a Former Security Policeman 6 years Active/9 years Air National Guard and I can tell you I wouldn't trade my time in the USAF Security Police for anything ...I loved it! It is what you make it. I was stationed at Dyess AFB for 3 years in the Strategic Air Command..we had a squadron of B52D's..4 Nuclear uploaded on alert at all times. We also had 3 squadron's of C-130's. I did Fly Away Security. We trained 4 times a year in Air Base Ground Defense at Ft. Hood Army Base against the US Army 7th Calvary Scouts. I was on one of the first EST's..Emergency Service Team's (SWAT) in the Air Force. I got to attend the FBI SWAT School and we got to put on EST training demonstrations along with the Combat Control Team across the street from Security Control. (We loaded our APC's on 2 C 130's with a Combat Control Team climbed to 20,000 ft., the CCT did a halo jump. After deploying the CCT the 130's spiraled down and did an Assault landing on a dirt strip. We deployed in our Armored vehicles out the back of the C130's and took the objective, reloaded with the nuclear weapon we recovered from the "Terrorists" and did a Assault takeoff)!!
I was stationed for 1 year in Turkey at a secret MUNSS site. I was the NCOIC of Arms and Equipment for the Security detachment and also the Team Leader for the RRT ( Recapture and Recovery Team) a joint Turkish - American Anti-terrorist Team. When I rotated back to the World, I was assigned for 2 years at Langley AFB, VA to Headquarters Tactical Air Command. The unit I was in is the Tactical Air Command Guard...we were the Security for the CINCTAC (Commander and Chief Tactical Air Command..4 Star General). During my time in the Alabama Air National Guard I got to go to "Sliver Flag Alpha" in Indian Springs, NV, the USAF SP Desert Warfare and Survival School. It is what you make it, I did a lot of different things in the Security Police Field....AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE... except for the time I spent in a Turkish Military Prison..but that is another story!
I got out of the Air Force and became a State Trooper. Most of my 25 years was spent on TACT Team 1 and TACT Team 2 (Tactical Anti-terrorist Counter-assault Team) SWAT. I was a State SWAT Member, Instructor, Sniper, Sniper Instructor, Tactical Rappel Master/Instructor, Man Tracker/Instructor. Now I am retired and work part time for a Large Entertainment Venue doing undercover security. I also work for our State's Police Officers Standards and Training as a SWAT and Sniper Instructor.

DAMMM that sounds amazing I really wanna join the army I’m 18 know but I still don’t know what branch our route to take.
Damn man. Good for you, sounds amazing to be able to do all of those things in your life! Super cool to read about your oppirtunities you got and such. Super cool man. Thanks for your service brother!
In the DEP waiting to get this job, 18 also 👍🏽
Leaving July 30th and got this job, very excited to see where it takes me in my Air Force career!!
Robby good luck man, hopefully soon get to enlist and do security forces
Leaving July 23rd!
How was bmt?
So how's checking Cac cards at the entrance going? 😂
jason xxl pretty good. I get to patrol the flightline and do ride alongs more often now though, and the people I work with are awesome!
Im going to do this and im staying in career
Thanks for the video, fyi RIP Airman Lee Hursey (Hursey "main"Gate), 2/27/63 Eielson AFB, Alaska
Can you do a video on the services job or photojournalism?
The law enforcement one sounds cool but not as cool as flying drones 😎.
It’s an alright job. Though there’s a reason it is in very high demand. Hit the gym and try to get Spec. Ops. or EOD.
@@scott_6305 Everyone quits after 4 years
Or go DAGRE, that's what I'm doing.
@@Pretani_chieftain DAGRE is a pull of luck because you have to be stationed at Cannon or Hurby, and then you need to be a certain rank, get selected, then pass selection
@@thecamper27 true, but that's what I'm aiming for though.
After my four years with SecFo, whats the process like or how easy is it to cross-train into CATM or K9?
What specific MOS/ Ranks are their?
This is probably way better than slaving in a kitchen for 6 days a week in the army.
My mind is made up gonna suck it up for 4 years in security forces at 30.
It ain’t that bad.
I’m 30 years old too, we got this brotha!
I was actually a Law Enforcement specialist. No air craft guarding for me.
Does security forces get deployed a lot? And what about ots security forces?
Depends on your base. I'm supply and my unit averages every 2 years. My secfo friends at different bases all have different routines.
I wish I could be a K9 handler
give you the real job description..sit at the main gate checking id's and talking to your partner about how many more months you have till you can get out but in the meantime running to the shoppette late at night to buy a soda or a starbucks for you af sp's(can o chew for mp's)or respond to the bx because aafes caught some dependent shoplifting. yeh alot of fun! if you like sitting in a little hut at the gate entrance that the ac hardly works or saluting a officer the same age as you as he or she sips on a fresca then go for it
Sounds about right. But man your AC don’t work or your heater... sounds fun right? However, remember that time security forces saved someones life, remember when security forces arrested personnel on American most wanted (yeah it happens), remember when they respond to active shooters, how often they deploy (base depending). K9, CATM, DAGRE, RAVEN, Investigations. Largest career field in the AF with the most opportunity.
1:52 to the end of the video is what I'd like to do
Can u just do flight line security ? Thanks
No, your post will usually rotate daily between where leadership wants you. You will start out on gates for the first year then they will gradually move you once they feel you have the experience
This might be my top pick of an AFSC or I might go Intel so I can get a Top Security Clearance. Still deciding though.
Funni Asian Man get that TS
@@Steelers6173 I do not know man, from what i heard it takes awhile for an SSBI to be completed but is Security Forces that terrible? I am a worker that likes to work part time inside and outside. Plus, SecFo has weapons and I am passionate about weapons. Please give me anything you know bro. Any knowledge will help.
Funni Asian Man an intel job will give you a top secret security clearence. if you fill out everything correctly on the sf-86 (basically a TS application) the process should only take 6 months. after leaving you will have countless job opportunities that make well over six figures in all types of government agencies or private contractors. if you go security forces, youll end up working with weapons and the only job in the outside world that’s equivalent is a cop. if u go security forces in the air force you can be deployed to any base in the world but be prepared to be at the gate. for intel you have limited bases but all of them are good bases. imo you should go intel if you qualify. dont worry about how long the investigation takes
@@Steelers6173 dang, six months... man, I lived in the same town for 23 years and I want to be sure I leave before I turn 24 bro. I do not know if I can wait six months because I am trying to get out of here and leave this State especially from parents. Are you definitely sure its six months? I heard from other Intel people it will only take maybe around 3 months since I lived in the same town for 23 years but my parents moved from a different country to the USA...
Funni Asian Man the investigation will be conducted after you leave for bootcamp
If I can’t get K9 I’m shooting for Tactical Response Force.
ARC-0666 TRF is only at certain bases, mostly missile field bases usually. K9 is practically everywhere.
I want SRT
I am 23 years old and I don't know if I can be accepted to the security forces because the video didn't say anything about an age limit
Max age is 39.

Go to A&S, get dropped, Security forces, BOOM.
Yikes! I still remember being put in a chicken wing configuration,.............serious people! I always try to spoil the dogs! Careful they can be serious to! And most SP’s were little trouble makers in there civilian lives,..so they know what to look for,..and once they put down there rifle,....and it’s not pointed at you,.....there regular fellas.
Mark Solarz I had a gun pointed at my home when I was 14. Shots were fired. They barely missed my mother. I wasn’t home. The boys who did it weren’t even punished. Well one was years later. He’s a sex offender now. I feel like my experience could be a good motivator to go into SF. If not for me, than someone else.
Im Either Doing Combat, or Law Enforcement or Tactical Response Team

What about Phoenix Raven and DAGREs??
DAGRE is being disbanded
@@gorgeousfreeman2240
Why??
Who will make that job then.
@@maverick3987 It appears I have been misinformed
@@maverick3987
Kyle, would you tell to this poor necromance what is that you do, for I dont understand DAGREs very well.
How are you deployed???
@@maverick3987
So, you guys are like bodyguards on high steroids.
For example, you would be protecting the guys from SOST so the can help wounded soldiers near the fight. Or would be protecting a convoy with supplies for the troops. Would be protecting a temporary base with Special Forces.
You guys don't go to fight, you are protecting.
Really looking into joining i worry tho cuz im older..28 i hope it doesnt hold me back
Anthony Broz I joined at 25, didn’t have a problem.
@@maverick3987 thanks for the input bro i just see the youngins so kinda had me wonderin
Anthony Broz nah. I had a 34 year old in my basic flight. Just when you go make sure you can PT and keep up
@@maverick3987 oh ya for sure i know thats a must i unload trucks all day for a living so im at least active just need cardio ha.
Damn same man. 28 and looking to go Security Forces. Just worried about being older lol
Installed china parts too but not details look for radicals in engineering
I was wondering if you have a food allergies can you still join?
Declan O'Malley I think you would have to get a waiver but if I were you I would ask a recruiter makes things a lot easier
I served with a girl who was allergic to gluten and another to grass I'm pretty sure if you go to the right person anything is possible
I just found my dream job.
until you join and realize that you're gonna be stuck checking IDs at the front gate lmfaooooo. Don't get trapped into this job, go for something better. There is a reason that SF is always looking for people; because people are always leaving the job...
@@kevbail5919 noted
Also, worse dorms. Try to get E-5 in three years or get married ASAP.
Zach no, actually Security Forces usually have the best dorms. Literally the only positive about the job
Kev Bail Any dorms with a shared bathroom is a yikers from me. Minot ftw?
What’s the asvab score for security forces???

U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting im confuse. General 30? I’m talking about like what subjects is the most important and what score should it be. And do they deploy overseas?
The ASVAB currently contains 9 sections (except the written test, which contains 8 sections). The duration of each test varies from as low as ten minutes up to 36 minutes for Arithmetic Reasoning; the entire ASVAB is three hours long. The test is typically administered in a computerized format at Military Entrance Processing Stations, known as MEPS, or at a satellite location called a Military Entrance Test (MET) site. The ASVAB is administered by computer at the MEPS, while a written version is given at most MET sites. Testing procedures vary depending on the mode of administration.[3] Computerized test format[edit]
• General Science (GS) - 15 questions in 8 minutes • Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) - 15 questions in 39 minutes • Word Knowledge (WK) - 15 questions in 8 minutes • Paragraph Comprehension (PC) - 10 questions in 22 minutes • Mathematics Knowledge (MK) - 15 questions in 20 minutes • Electronics Information (EI) - 15 questions in 8 minutes • Automotive and Shop Information (AS) - 10 questions in 7 minutes • Mechanical Comprehension (MC) - 15 questions in 20 minutes • Assembling Objects (AO) - 15 questions in 40 minutes • Verbal Expression (VE)= (WK)+(PC)

The general area with is made up of Arithmetic Reasoning (AR) and Verbal Expression (VE) (Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension. Those are the area you need to study . also Security Forces can be deployed to any area we have overseas

U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting thank you so much!!!!! And if I have questions may I ask it here next time?
How available is this job.Is there usually open spots throughout the year
One of the most open jobs in the air force
Scott Ramirez no, it’s the second highest job in demand. Recruiters are literally begging people to choose it
And that’s for a reason. Having done this for 6 years, I would say, be certain a career in law enforcement is what you want. The videos are cool now and cool back in 1993. They miss a few things, but, if your heart is in it and your true desire is law enforcement, go for it. My last piece of advice, the Air Force is by far the best branch of service, choose your career specialty with great thought. It can very difficult to switch specialities once you are in.
Can i Join the Army as a German Citizen ?
Karl, this page is for the Air Force please contact the Army for their information.
For the Air Force you must live in the United States or an area that has an Air Force recruiter. Enlistment into the U.S. Air Force by citizens of countries other than the United States is limited to those foreign nationals who are legally residing in the United States and possess a U.S. Citizenship or non US citizens must have an Immigration Services (U.S.C.I.S) Registration Card (INS Form I-551 -- Commonly known as a "Green Card". The green card must be a 10 year green card and with an expiration date greater than 2 years from the date of issue. Applicants must be between 17 and 39, must speak, read and write English fluently to apply to join the Air Force. The Air Force does not bring applicants to the United States to join. You must get to the United States legally on your own and complete all immigration processing to obtain your Green Card on your own. The Air Force does not help.

Ravens are gay, 820th are elite!
Its glorified mall security, I did it for 6yrs hated it. Avoid this job its boring af!
We all have our own opinions, thanks for sharing 😙
Why didn’t you cross train?
Noah Higgins pretty sure if you sign 6 years, you can’t cross train until 5 years in. And even then it’s extremely hard to cross train, especially if your job is still in high demand.
Robby ok good to know. I’ll be signing in 2 weeks. I think I’m putting sf way down on my list. Shooting for in-flight refueling
You deploy?
law enforcement at eighteen years? a joke.
Not really... If you can join the military and go to war at 18 there is no reason why an 18 year old cant be law enforcement
@@nathanielaaron4367 17
Negative, it's security guard.
Guarding parked aircraft and checking ID cards at gates is not LE. It's more being a school crossing guard.@@nathanielaaron4367
