As a security specialist my first assignment was kadena Air Base in Okinawa Japan. Loved it there. I was an entry controller of an alert area and a huge Inspection Team came to our base and any security Specialists knows you have to give briefings about your post. During a huge inspection on base a colonel drove through my alert area so I asked him if he wanted a briefing and he replied yes so I commence with my briefing but it got halted find airplane taking off. When you can hear again the colonel said well that's good Airman thank you and I replied but sir I'm not done yet. What's in 30 minutes I was relieved essentra controller and driven to the Security Police Squadron where I got to meet the commanding officer, senior master sergeant and others. After that I always drove the flight line subsequently leaving me to find a Napalm bomb leaking. From there my career took off. My advice is to not sell yourself short for it obviously doesn't take much to impress a colonel that could change your whole career. Always vigilant
All very good points relating to Security Forces. I really related to the comment about "having your back." Security forces is like a band of brothers and sisters and they always look out for each other.
Just got done watching the 80s and 90s security forces recruiting videos. Was kind of expecting something similar here but glad to see these promotional videos are much more grounded in reality.
Personally I like Security forces. I am currently stationed at Offutt AFB and here we work as a joint force with the navy Master At Arms. I can't speak for how life is for the MA's at other bases but I know for a fact that they do not like it here at Offutt lol if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.
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 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.

Do they? Everyone else I know who dropped out got put in clerical stuff like Services or Logistics. Even got a roommate who dropped out of EOD, and they put him in Airfield Management instead of SF.
When I was in from 2010-2014, I remember them actually telling us we can say that lol. It was a little cringe and I never said it but there were some old heads that were adamant about letting us know we can say it.
It seems like these videos are targeted at enlisted can we get some for officers. I’m literally studying Criminal Justice Bachelor degree to join the Air Force and don’t know what to expect as officer for these positions.
generally, when you are a brand new 2nd LT, you are the flight commander but you're also learning from the flight chief (MSgt) until you rank up to 1st LT. once you sew on 1st LT, you're generally behind a desk. unfortunate as it may sound, that is your job as an officer. that is what you have enlisted for. at least that is how it is at my base.
Andres Velazquez you can have a degree in almost anything. When you go to security forces tech school you’ll still get college credit. You’d have to talk to a officer recruiter for specifics.

Zecco, Recommend that you sit down with an Air Force recruiter and a recruiter from the branch of the US Armed Forces you are interested in. Have a list of questions, and your goals and dreams written down so you can effectively interview. Don't allow them to slam the other branches, ask them only to focus on what their branch has to offer Pros, and cons. Take good notes, and gather as many materials about each one as possible. After you have interviewed with each one, sit down and make up two Pro/con lists for each branch. Rationality would show the one with the most pros is the winner. Once the decision is made, do not look back, do not second guess. We hope to see you in the US Air Force. Ray U.S. Air Force and Space Force Recruiting

Who trained the airman at 0:14 on how to hold that gun? That gun is gonna kick like crazy in that position.

It's too bad the USAF puts people in SF who don't want to be there, and use the career field as a dumping ground for failures from other tech schools.

Sadly you don't get a choice if your a bad fit or not.
That traffic stop @2:09 why are they parked so far
The Goat for real. I got pulled over by a sheriff the other day and he got like 2 feet from my rear bumper.
it’s just a promotional video
So if the dude starts shooting at em they have space between them rather than point blank I think
Who are the most elite in SF??
DAGREs or TRF??

I think its kinda even just different missions

Security Forces think they are badass when in reality they aren’t. Just a bunch of glorified security guards. Oh..and they are POGs
