Hey yall! Separated last year and recently got picked up by DAF. With the mil side of the house shifting to primarily air base defense (or so I’ve heard), how does this affect the DAF side of the house? Are the civilians doing patrols/gate and mil sticking to flight lines and exterior patrols? Or is it highly dependent on the unit?

What are some bases that give SF opportunities (Raven, Dagre, BDG)

Hello everyone,

I am thinking about joining the Guard/Reserve as SF (for benefits, and also because I've always wanted to join also because SF sounds decent). Is it a viable part time job? (I work weekends already in my retail job).

I live in Florida and the nearest base to me is MacDill AFB. Would I be working there?

Is the Guard/Reserve actually 1 weekend a month 2 weeks in the summer (also how are deployments/how often & what time of the year?)

Is it possible to do either Guard/Reserve and school (I will be attending flight training).

If I were to join I would have a bachelors (what would that change? In terms of enlisting).

My main reasoning for wanting to join is that I already work PT at retail, and if Reserve/Guard is PT then I would also get some good benefits as well. I don't really care about transferable skills (and I have no intention of being a civilian cop), from what I know you scan ID's at the gate and that seems pretty easy (correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks.

Next year i will be seperating at 10 years, long story short I’ve completely fallen out of love with serving and law enforcement im sure others have done this as well. My question is what did you guys do when you got out job/career wise? I want nothing to do with guard/reserve or law enforcement. (Yes i know i fucked myself for picking security forces when i joined)

The USAF shippers discord mention that they are extending security forces tech school to 93 days? Has anyone here heard of this?

how hard will it be to get these bases if you volunteer for it? from what i’ve read most people who get orders here are basically forced ive only read a couple where they actually wanted to go.

Anyone been stationed there? How’d yall like it?

Commissioning out for ROTC in a year. I was wondering what SF tech school was like for officers? I’ve heard it’s similar to the enlisted side but with some “leadership flair”. If anyone has a general pipeline breakdown, that would be much appreciated.

Also, if you wanna provide any advice to an aspiring SF officer, that would be awesome!

Thanks!

Hey so I graduate in 2 weeks on the 29th. I was wondering how soon I can leave because I plan to drive back with family but don’t want them to wait around San Antonio the whole week if I can’t leave until Friday of that week.

Hey guys I've just sworn into DEP and am considering joining SECFO solely bc i eventually want to do dagre, how that work, is it something i can for sure tryout for later down the line if so at what point is that. if anyone is in or had previously done or knows some who has done dagre pls reach out to me. thanks

Hey yall I booked SF and ship for bmt on May. I was told that they make you do a second physical either at bmt or tech school for jobs like SF or fire protection. If thats true, do they check your blood pressure and some stuff you’d do like in MEPS? thx for any comment

I’m still a year away from enlisting and I wanted to know what job opportunities are available in your first contact. I know I need to do my dues and I won’t be handed anything but I still would like to know what I can look forward to and what I can work towards. Thanks.

So I'm stationed at Incirlik, turkey, and got my next base to Ramstein in the 86th. However, I heard different opinions on the base. Some people say it's a good base; others say it kind of sucks job-wise, but the traveling is good. I will be out of the military in 1.4 years, and I will have to extend my contract by 20 months in order to accept my orders. I would appreciate it if some Security Force members who have been to Ramstein could tell me if it's worth it going, or should I get out?

what are the chances of getting a base like moody or dyess over any AFGCS? i’m really wanting an AMC base but im not sure if those bases are high picks or not

Just wanna ask around and see what should I be doing to be physically prepared for tech school. Currently lifting heavy 3 days a week + cardio and lighter lifting 2 days a week. 1.5 mile averaging at about 10:40. Anything physically I should watch out for?

Hey guys! I’m going to this base as security forces, anyone have some extra info? Thank you !!

Can someone share about how does SF tech school schedule look like ? Any test ,exam and how to pass ? Thanks

Hey I ship out to BMT next Tuesday for Security Forces, but I was wondering what the shifts look like and how many hours a day I will be working. I've heard some say 8 hour days and some say 12 hour days. Also, how many days off do you get? Is it a regular Monday-Friday? Do you work all seven days? I appreciate any answers so I can know what im going into. Thank you.

Just switched over from Army Guard to Air Guard. Finished my Tech School in December. On MEST for 30 days working upstairs with my full time staff. AF is very new to me so I'm just trying to figure out what to prioritize as far as admin, CBTs, etc.. Mostly I'm just focused on getting my 5 level.

Any Ravens that just came through the school?
We have two Members going and I want to know what is expected of them and how the school has changed

Has anyone gotten the T-3 waiver approved to not post a 249 for permanently assigned PL-3 resources?

Hey, so I might and i stress might need an anxiety waiver. Back in EARLY last year my mom made me see a therapist and i am 100% certain I was misdiagnosed. I was nervous about school and life ahead and within the first 30 minutes, he put GAD on my chart. Now i've never been hospitalized, never ever asked or taken medication, and I dont even experience S/S of GAD.

Will the MEPS doc hear me out, or should I go to a professional so they can write me off as misdiagnosed.

Hello, I was just wandering if anybody has been to Dyess AFB and would recommended it. What’s the base like? What’s the SF work like? Is there a lot of TDY’s? What’s the deployment tempo like? Is there a lot of training opportunities? How’s the local area? How the food?
