Keep documenting all your experiences. I've spent 13 years in security forces and have captured almost none of the awesome experiences i've had and really regret that
Deploying to Horn of Africa, just graduated from AIT in the Army and within a week I was told I’m in orders to deploy. Definitely scared and anxious, seeing videos like this gives me hope to push forward and it’s going to be a journey I’ll be grateful for. Thanks for the upload man.
I’m going to meps on the 1st active duty security forces Af amto do a verification test cause I took the asvab in my recruiting office… how much time do they give you between to get deployed?
It’s odd that the other services don’t understand the deployment theory and execution of less than a year or two. I was in a vets group in the late 80s and was called a liar so many times I got sick. Back in the 60-70s we had so many 90 day TDYs I couldn’t count them. The army guys didn’t believe we had TDYs to the Philippines and then to VietNam and to the alert pads in Taiwan. U.S.Air Force is still best!!!!
Just got back from security forces at AB201 May 21 - Nov 21. The people there were wonderful, but the leadership was the worst. They made it a living hell every week. More experienced soldiers saying it was worse than Afghanistan. Regardless of this, I focused on me and worked my self into a cdoc controller as a E-3. It's an experience I'd never want to do ever again, but the people I met who helped me persevere through the awful leadership, who had multiple ig investigations, are good people.
Currently here pleasure working with you during your stay! Should be coming home next month. Heard a lot about your leadership and it was sad to say the least.
Did 6 months in Djibouti in 09-10. Africa was beautiful and a great deployment given some of the other locations I had deployed to. To those that say this isn't a real deployment, stop hating.
Was at AB101 in June19-Jan20, right before they got the CLUs. Very special time in my life in a very special place. From the looks of the video, I’m glad you had a similar experience. Still talk to the guys I was out there with on the daily.
I didn't know PSAB was still open. I was Security Forces from Feb '99 to June 2011. My first deployment (TDY at the time really was to PSAB). Never went there again. I did a total of five deployments in my time in though, my most interesting ones were to Iraq back-to-back in '03-'04 and '04-'05.
@@fijifromgigi8596 I guess that makes sense seeing I never went back after '99. I was there from Dec '99- 2000. Back then it was just a TDY though. When I was there it was the U.S., British, French, and Saudi Air Forces there. My dad was at PSAB during the Gulf War from 1990-1991. It had changed a lot since then.
It looks like you all had a nice set up and time there. I miss my days in. Wish I would have gotten more pictures of them. I was Security Force From Feb '99 to June 2011. I did some skate deployments in that time and others that just out right sucked. My more interesting ones were to Iraq.
One question, during the time that you work as a security force, can they place you in military bases in other countries? Do they choose where you go or you can choose? Would you have to be active or reserve to move from one place to another?
I'm new here so I'm sorry if you've posted content about this before, but... I've been considering the air force and I was wondering what schedule and workload are like on deployment. Any guidance would be helpful!
Hey man, I’m currently 25, have a degree, and work in a good paying job but recently I’ve being really thinking about the Air Force Reserves. I want to break up the monotony which is my job and I’ve been heavily thinking about security forces.
Talk to those in the reserves if you’re able to. Your reserve recruiter can hopefully put you in touch especially if you say you want to be in security forces.
Boring and pointless is what deployments are REALLY like. In the end, you get to turn and run with your tail between your legs while buying fuel from your enemy to get your C-17's off the ground that you voluntarily gave to the enemy as well. Real fun stuff.
OLD Timer here...(1980-1986)..34 Months in Texas SAC...14 months in Turkey USAFE.....24 Months HQ TAC. I do miss it sometimes!! Back then we had NO Females in Security.
Meanwhile we the Real SF , never wear patches that say it. Never wore uniforms and actually went out the wire to the real Niamey…. Thank you for your Security Force… always being extra AF at the Gate.

Deployed to HOA in 2019 to Djibouti as TMO. Was a replacement for anotha Airmen 3moa in. Didnt know what to expect but legit had fun there.
I was at that same base I got back last year it was definitely a good time stressful but worth it
what is stressful about it, no wars were going on
Chabelley?

Enjoy it brother! Your career will go by so fast and before you know it you'll be an old vet talking about times that others cannot understand!
Went in 1986, retired 2007. So much has changed but a lot is still the same.
Pretty sure your squad relieved my squad, crazy how they approved sand tees right after we left…Glad to see Patches & Rabies were still alive🐈🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's amazing how little the base has changed

It’s not a real deployment especially Djibouti 🤣

Hey I was there Jan20-Aug20 as part of the cop's relief team. Fuckin' great deployment experience especially for Air Force Security Force's
That place is lame and boring and shouldn’t be called a deployment
Damn, that’s a really nice looking base
God bless stay safe I hope everyone has a blessed week thank you for your sever ✝️🙏✝️🙏
like they say "it is what you make it"
dope video man looked amazing
Thank you man!

How was your leadership? I've done most of my time stateside and been stationed overseas once. It looks like you had a good time!
Motivation 100%
One question, during the time that you work as a security force, can they place you in military bases in other countries? Do they choose where you go or you can choose? Would you have to be active or reserve to move from one place to another?

Is that the Dayton Airport? 88Th SFS?

A lot of the schedules can vary. But you’ll be working 12 hour shifts most of the time
Hey man, I’m currently 25, have a degree, and work in a good paying job but recently I’ve being really thinking about the Air Force Reserves. I want to break up the monotony which is my job and I’ve been heavily thinking about security forces.
Do it brotha
Try the air national guard. You get more benefits. That’s what I plan to do
Go for it, I went reserve. Best thing you could do. Especially when you can volunteer for deployments.
Talk to those in the reserves if you’re able to. Your reserve recruiter can hopefully put you in touch especially if you say you want to be in security forces.
I was deployed at 101 as well from nov 21- Jun22
Damn your group replaced mine lol
How was ur phone service on ur deployment? Was it easy to keep contact with family/social media
Yea there was decent wifi on base. So easy to keep in contact👍🏽
I would love to be deployed in Africa

Surprised to see y'all weren't issued the new sigs
Did you know anyone from the Maxwell Team?!?
Yea just about all of them!
Was this air base 201 or airbase 101?
How hard is security forces, is it good choice for some one joining in 30s
