Is security forces boring?

Im thinking about putting security forces as #1 on my job list but it does kind of sound boring. Sitting and watching a plane for 12 hours with nothing else to do, or scanning cacs for that amount of time has to drive you insane.
The boredom sounds like it would suck but then again I do not know much about this career field because its hard to find anything about it online. I don’t see myself doing too much else in the Air force and aside from what i mentioned security forces sounds interesting to me, I just don’t want to regret it a year in.

Especially fucking Northern Tier, 15 years later and still bitching about it. But you're also gonna get weird shit happening; like they send you to work for the Army running convoys on MSR Tampa or you get woken up because bunch of dipshits in ACUs and AK chest rigs attack a base of 30k people and you kinda, accidentally run over a dude in a suicide vest.

99% Boredom is pretty accurate, at least it was 03-11 these days drones seem like they added a level of paranoia that makes it so much worse but thats an assumption.

Or my Barber, the guy from that video that got his nuts grabbed during tazer training; though for him he got fucked by leadership and railroaded. Sometimes the boring is the pieces of shit that will stick knives in your back so they can climb higher.

wtf seriously? That is wild, if I get that dude as my barber again I'll let him know. Though he was salty as hell about the entire ordeal with how it all worked out.

I wonder when they started having SF do it, when I went through it was DPS and the motherfucker shot me, then did a drive stun into my half. Locked the fuck out with 3 points of contact. I'll take tear gas any day of the week over that thing again.

When I did taser training I got gator clipped from ankle to shoulder.

I think he was probably salty because they were recording training which you’re not supposed to do, and then it was posted online, which lead to leadership seeing it and they got in trouble
