This is absolutely the most informative video ive seen on this topic. I leave March 26th and i got this profession. Thanks for the info!
Chase Sepulveda no problem. Good luck to you in the career field and at bmt enjoy the journey.
Chase Sepulveda ship out March 26th too brother for security forces !
How did it go boys ?? Lol hope all is good !!!
How did it go?! Thinking of joining
My Son is Raven and now trains Military K9's and loves it.
I served 20 years "security police". Nuclear missile security, intelligence in south east asia, air craft security, special duty assignment to law enforcement 89days, airbase ground defense, counter terrorism, combat training instructor to 3rd combat communications group. Served at 11 duty assignments both stateside and overseas. Hint: "the best war is a secret war".🐯
I want to join Security Forces in the Air Force but I want to eventually see combat or do more then just check IDs at a gate. Can you tell me all the special units and jobs security forces can do in the Air Force? Thank you for your service
@@harveymathis9667 there is: e mergency service team(e s t) the base swat team. Then theres phoenix raven(armed escort of special aircraft), dagre(special ops cops, that go on missions with pararescue/combat control). Air base ground defense(abgd) guarding air bases overseas from attack. Seek out sf livestigations or o s i(counter intelligence) to work undercover during your off duty time. Put in for a special duty assignment for world wide( youll get a top secret clearence and guard intelligence site. "Best war is a secret war" remember?😉) all this comes after, you graduate security force tech school. After your 4-6 years in the usaf you can then apply as security contractor (big $ overseas) with dyncorp. My uncle did that in bosnia, my cousin and brother in law did it in iraq. Course theres always the french foreign legion.
@@harveymathis9667 i forgot. You can sign up for k-9 also and patrol with a bomb/drug dog. One of my airmen based in the portugese azores was k-9, he wasnt going to reenlist, then in 1989/90 usaf offered him special ops cops at hurlbert field, florida with a chance of going to airborne-ranger school. But, what they really wanted was his k-9 dog partner! So they both joined. The dog learned to parachute!
why do people bitch so much about the hours?
You are correct....I was a Bodyguard for a 4 star General for 2 years and I was a team leader for a joint NATO Team in support of Nuclear Munitions for 15 months as a Combat SP
!!!
Thank you for this video , Very Informative! Lord willing I’ll be shipping June 18th for basic .
Lyric_96 that is awesome. Good luck to you and enjoy the journey
What are you looking to do?
Update? How was it?
Great video 👍🏻 I leave March 19th. So ready, so pumped :) can’t wait
That is awesome. Enjoy the journey it is definitely a lot of fun
Don’t waste your retraining on a shred off. Once you hit e-6. You will loose it. Also your retraining window opens up a year early if you’re on a short tour.
Jaysmith also just found this out today k9 and catm atleast at my base doesn't require a retrain
Not necessarily true. Depends on the base. I have a MSgt in my training section that was k9 kennel master. He’s been out of the kennels for 5+ years and his last 2 deployments in 3 years have been for k9 kennel master down range.
It all depends on the size of the Combat Arms shop/K9 section that you are a part of. Some larger shops will have a Master Sergeant slot on their manpower document and others will not.
Can you explain DAGREs???
Thanks.
This is awesome. I am trying to join for SF in the New Jersey Air National Guard 108 Wing. Do you know if they have Phoenix Ravens for NJ ANG stationed for the 108?
silenciummortum I have no idea. But you can ask the unit what they have.
No that’s for active duty
There is a such thing as a reservist Phoenix Raven. However, since the 108th is a fighter wing, you need to most likely transfer to McGuire. I flew out of McGuire as Raven with both active and reservist. You would also need to be apart of the AMC community to actually get some traction.
Another video of idea I just thought about that you can do is: making ONE video at a time giving details, descriptions, and the bads and goods of different kinds of jobs of USAF Security Forces. For example: ONE whole entire video about M.W.D. I think it will give a full view on what your audience will look for and they can ask questions pertaining to M.W.D.
Just a thought my man.
Thank you! Hopefully I’ll be joining the team very soon! Wish me luck I’m pretty excited!
That is awesome. Enjoy the journey.
@@benaferhc5 thank you soooo much! Hey question?
@@cherishedgrace can follow on ig That_Cop_Guy I'll get bsck to you quicker and you csn dm me
What do you know about dagre ?
Did you get your clearance at meps, before BMT? I'm a Depper
If you are talking about medical clearance then yes. They have to clear you medically prior to sending you to bmt they do that at meps.
No, sorry. Security clearance
Dick Mann depends on the clearance level but usually it is finished before
Usaf/fbi ran a secret clearance on me during usaf basic training 1973. In early 1975 at minot afb, nd (sac) i went to base cbpo put in for a special duty assignment for overseas, the defense intelligence agency then cheked me out both on my security flight and also back in my home town and my secret clearance was upgraded to top secret!
On average what is your shift length and how many days do you work?
Around 10hr with everything
How long does it normally take to hit your cross training window? How long does it take until you can request airborne/ranger school, raven, and dagre? Great video! Thanks!
The Anarcho-Nerdist from my understanding of dagre you most likely have to be at a afsoc Base but if your bases offer these extra training to go to you can go as soon as you get done with your first QC which is a exam of your job and it is within a couple months of being on flight. After that if your unit has the available slots they will hold a try out to see who they will send. I went to the air assault tryouts and found out after I couldn't go due to not had my QC yet. So after that's you CA. Do whatever they offer and you are able to meet the physical and mental expectations.
@@benaferhc5 What is QC and CA? And thanks for the info; much appreciated!
The Anarcho-Nerdist CA was a misspell meant to say can. But your QC is a job qualification test where you get certified in your job.
@@benaferhc5 Ah, gotcha. Many thanks!
ThatCopGuy you don’t have to be at AFSOC. I’m going to the DAGRE selection this summer and I applied on AMS.
Thank you for uploading this video. How long will I have to be at gate guard duty until I get to do the back-office jobs? I am looking forward into doing CATM, O.S.I., or Armory.
catm and osi you have to cross train into. back office jobs are just whenever the positions open up.
@@benaferhc5 thank you for the info buddy. Can you do a video of "Cross Training" for the USAF? I know there is videos on here but I feel like there should be an updated version of cross training in the USAF.
Funni Asian Man got the video made already just waiting to put it out trying to be consistent with a couple Vida a week
Armory is simply a position. OSI is not Security Forces. It’s a whole other career field.
How do you end up doing patrol? Is it just part the standard job? I know you have to do gates and check ids but i am very intrested in the law enforcement side of SF
Patrol is apart of the flight jobs gates patrol vehicle search areas and BDOC which is your dispatch
How about EST, Tactical Response Teams, FAST, Raven's, DAGRE and MajCom Command Guard????
I'm going to make another video of all the different training and schools you can go to which is what that falls under.
tacbear hey! So I’ve been EST for 5 years out of my 7. It’s basically the Air Force version of SWAT. Some Bases are full-time other bases it’s part time on top of your regular job. TRT or TRS is mostly in the missile fields. Fast is usually a deployment tasking however there are some bases that run it full-time. Ravens are flyaway security teams pretty much the same as fast, except the mission is a little different. Dagre is ravens on steroids they belong to AFSOC and deploy with SOF missions. Which is what I’m going to this summer. And I’ve never heard of Majcom Guard. Ive been on 2 deployments. Hit me up on IG if you want some more info. This is good stuff. Raven, dagre, catm, k9, there’s plenty to do.
@@maverick3987 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 ABGD 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 demonstrations along with the Combat Control Team across the street from Security Control. (We loaded 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 "Red Team Aggressor's" 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!
@@maverick3987
DAGRE is the most elite???
Necromante Errante in the Security Forces world. Yes probably, it’s more selective and they only support SOF missions. However there are plenty of jobs, or courses that set you up for future positions that are awesome.
What about Dager and Raven
PRO GAMESPLAYER so I did not talk about those inside of this video because they can be unit specific. Like my unit does not offer it. I was trying to go over jobs likely to be at every unit.
you didn’t say anything about raven
Jackson Shoemake I did not. This is more of the different jobs you can do at every base. Raven is usually base specific because you best chance of getting it is to be at the units that's have raven.
Do security force get deployed and see combat
ANTONIO ACE MARTINEZ every career field gets deployed. All depends on your unit as to what you get tasked with.
Yes absolutely depending on what you do and where you go.
@@benaferhc5 do you need good credit like 700 to be security force?
AJ gaming no most people joining at 18 don't even have credit. So credit does not have a factor in it. But you can't be color blind you can't have a history of gambling addiction or drug addiction. But that goes for the whole military. When you go to meps you have to pass color blind test depot perception test and lift I believe 50lbs over your head for sf.
@@benaferhc5 thanks I'm trying to decide between army and airforce I want to do mp or spec ops been working out everyday I took a pratice test online of thr asvab and got a 46 gonna keep taking it till i hit a 60 or better what asvab score do you need for spec ops ?
can you request a base transfer after a certain amount of time if you dont get the squadron that you want, I want to do BDG or CRG but I know its not guaranteed. If someone could respond to this that would be great! Thanks!
WonkyScroll after one year on station you can request a transfer but it is base wide not squadron wide so say you transfer to moody but it's still not guaranteed to go bdg
@@benaferhc5 isn't the only security forces squadron at moody bdg?
WonkyScroll they have a LE squadron also
ThatCopGuy can you get into trf from any security forces squadron
WonkyScroll shoot me a dm on Instagram
Arent there any medics attached to a special force squadron?
So not going to be considered special force. But the CRG squadron I went to had a medic attached to them.
@@benaferhc5 and those medics were guys from security force too?
@@hexebarya7395 no from MED group
@@benaferhc5 ok aeromed must be what you are saying
Hi! i have a question? can a non US citizen join the usaf security forces? cause they say that the jobs are limited for non us citizen? i hope you'll answer my question thankyou. your videos are very imformative sir!
Laurence Pillos I do not have a 100% answer on that. I would talk to a recruiter about that one.
@@benaferhc5 i really want to enlist cause security forces is the reason. its my dream job in the airforce. but if thats the case that i cant have that job when i enlist, i think im gonna wait til' my citizenship, probably im about 26 in that time.. but still! im hoping thats a false info and i can have that job tho im non citizen.
Laurence Pillos yeah I’m really not sure about that one. I had a buddy in bmt from Puerto Rico but he wasn’t going SF so I’m not sure if that is a thing or not.
What score do you need on the asvab to get into security forces?
Nunya business I made a video on it. Go check it out on my channel
@@benaferhc5 Thank you a lot
What video
Do they let you pick your job
what’s your work schedule like is it 2 days on 2 days off or something different?
4 on 3 off
@@benaferhc5 that's dope
Can you put in for Afghanistan? Do you have to work gate or can you ship out overseas?
brendan pasillas Afghanistan is adeoyment not a permanent duty location. You can deploy there if your unit gets tasked and you are selected. You will work the gates at home station unless you go to missile fields
What about DAGRE and Phoenix Raven?
Those are school you can go to. But it depends on your base if you do the mission or not. They aren't at every base so I did not include them.
DAGRE (Deployed Aircraft Ground Response Element) is stationed at AFSOC (Air Force special operations command) bases. The course is held at Hurlburt Field, Florida which is the AFSOC headquarters. Currently DAGRE is hiring on a volunteer/resumé process through AMS (assignment management system). Factors such as time on station at your previous duty station and meeting all requirements (passing PT test, positive ratings on last 3 enlisted performance reports, etc.) will dictate who gets hired.
Raven is an AMC (air mobility command) mission but it is possible to attend Raven school from other bases as long as your squadron has slots available.
Both of these jobs are essentially about fly away aircraft security in possibly austere, dangerous locations. You go on missions and you provide security on the ground wherever the aircraft goes. Both are a great way to do a lot of traveling and a lot of deploying.
Nick Wilson thank you for the response. Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard dagre is going to be getting stationed at Northern tier also
ThatCopGuy I just went through the DAGRE pipeline and that was never mentioned. Hit me up if you want to do a video.
kyle dantoni right on. Will do
Anyone know anything about BDG ( Base Defense Group)
TheAirsoftkid1313 so BDG is a train to deploy group. They don't do law enforcement. All they do is train for deployments kind of like and conventional infantry unit.
Ahh I see. How would one get that specific job? Is it just be lucky and be sent to a base that has that job and a position open type of deal?
TheAirsoftkid1313 so if you are at a unit that will allow you to attend the course you csn attend it and if you make it you are a raven. Your best chance for it would be a air mobility command base.
Thanks man. Send me a message IG
