try putting the dangler behind the plate in the platebag using the velcro on the interior of the plate bag. It allows the dangler to fit way more flush with the plate, and more securely as well.
You should try moving your baton pouch to your belt and move the double mag pouch 1 Molle row closer to your quick release tubes. I imagine it would be difficult to draw either of those two mags if they’re so tucked under your arm pit. Same idea behind the baton to the belt. You can utilize the admin pouch built into the top Molle row on your JPC 2.0 for your notebook and pens. And ditch the hanger pouch all together so you don’t always have to dig for things in order to grab something from the pouch. I liked running my gloves on a carabiner on my belt and of course flashlight in a pouch on the belt or in the admin pouch depending on the size.
So everything is basically place where I can grab it, I can grab both mags from the double mag as well as my baton, the reason for me not running it in my belt is because it gets in the way of mobility whenever I arm with my m18 & also I don’t have an admin pouch embedded in my plate carrier idk if the newer versions got rid of it or what & also the hanger pouch is so I don’t overstuff my pockets with stuff that doesn’t need to be there, I really appreciate the feedback though!!
Also it gets so cold here I don’t wanna run my gloves or flashlight outside the pouch just in case the carabiner freezes or the flashlight internals do
USAF Security Specialist 1982-91. My hats are off to you guys I hope you understand how very important your job is. Thank you for your service to our country go Blue. 💯🇺🇸🏴☠️♠️
how much does the vest weigh with all the mags n other stuff in it? and is it mandatory to wear the sf beret hat during your entire shift or can you take it off? and also that puffer jacket is super nice, did they give you that for free or did you have to buy it from the px shop?
The vest is probably around 20-25lbs with everything but it’s also a lightweight vest so it can differ depending on what you have. Beret is mandatory when outside unless weather permits a beanie, also the jacket is massif the base orders cold weather gear for us since it gets in the negatives it’s not obtainable from the bx, but you can go online & buy it if you wanted to
@nolinm7640 you will scan cacs eventually nm where you go, but once you get that you can branch into other things.. it’s not even if but more so when.. apply yourself & you’ll get wtv you want out of it
SF is security forces special forces is SOF or the specific job like TACP, PJ, CCT.. if he just said he was SF he wasn’t lying unless he specifically said special warfare
That’s cool stuff, do you know that type of plate carrier that is? I’ve seen SecFo at LRAFB use it and it looks cool and I’d like to get one, might do my own SF kit with the beret I have
im joining air force after college. i have a question since donald trump announced decelaration war on mexican cartel is there a HIGH chance of security force being deployed?????
If you’re on a base close to the border you have a pretty good chance (national guard would be sent to the border for security) first though if the state wants that. Most likely will send in special forces though delta force.
Hey man. I'm prior service army. Likely going air force unless they discover I'm not as think as they smart i am lol Don't BS me. How's the job? I know gate duty is boring but work-life balance wise. It pretty bad or not so much?
Hard to say.. I’m at a Nuke base so I’ve barely been at the gate the mission here is a bit different allowing for things other than the gate.. patrol can be long & a lot the gate isn’t bad though I’ve only been in a year & at this base. I go to the gym almost everyday & still have time to do the things I like my sleep schedule is weird though since I’m mids.. they say you work 12s but you never really work 12s it’s always longer ofc but honestly a lot of opportunities in sf & I like it so far
@@SlimIsHim appreciate the feedback. I was leaning towards DAGRE if I do go SecFo but from what I've been told at least for the first year or so expect to be scanning IDs at the gate day in and day out. Take the good with the bad I guess.
Hell yea DAGRE is sick I wanna go Ravens & DAGRE I’m working on getting on the nuclear trf or convoy team atm since we can’t go DAGRE or raven out of here
@don8659 you can search it up but yes when choosing a base make sure you try to go ACC (air combat command) they usually have them or Air Mobility as well but you can find it on google too
There are some good ass barbers that are in the dorms on base or in your area & yes you can go off base to get a cut you may live on base but it’s not your prison
@marcusa.6723 i started a few days ago and did a buzz cut, turned out surprisingly well, ima rock that until I learn how to do a taper while in tech school
Serious question: what is a more difficult job; security forces, or working at a warehouse as a civilian which I am currently working as? Technically I just pick heavy boxes all day. Is security forces a heavy labor job?
@@SlimIsHim Awesome that's where I'm going! I'm in techschool right now and I'm just looking at some cold weather gear I should get before I get there.
Don’t even buy anything my boi, get you a good coat, maybe some snow pants for out of uniform, other than that they give you hella cold weather gear for work
Yessir, if you wanna spend some bred on something nice, get you some good boots if you don’t alr have any from tech school or a nice plate carrier cause the issued ones are dawg shit & even the new ones they give us are
I am currently 23 years old i do not have a college degree and i am thinking of joining the air national guard or maybe go active which one would you recommend
@fluffyrider9467 you’ll be fine I’ve met people with high scores who were complete idiots.. as long as you have common sense & can listen you’ll be fine
@@fluffyrider9467 Jajja I know it sounds funny but I’m not dumb by any means, I’m just not very school oriented, specially in math. And English is not my first language language, but hey, I’m still trying anyways and doing my best
Yo Slim, Im tryna do SF but just as other people said, I heard its not enjoyable due to long hours which I dont mind. Im more worried about not having time to do homework, I would be aiming to do my bachelors while enlisted. Is there any issue at all with time management for school? Also what are the civilian jobs looking like for secfo? What do you plan to do after your contract?
Security forces are garbage, they eat their own. If you do get it just keep a positive mindset, security forces on the outside barely has anything that will transfer besides security jobs which is why you should get a degree while in. I recommend you aim for a cyber, contracting or intel job.
@SlimIsHim from my leadership, training and experience we were trained to give no mental or physical and identifiable edge to anyone because the people that do want to hurt you or worse will exploit anything they can..SEMPER FI SIR BE SAFE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE AND TO YOUR FAMILY!
@@SlimIsHim all good brother..im just watching out still from the outside and want everyone be fully aware of what we do and who is trying to see what we do..this world is in a very very precarious way right now that has been lacking good leadership and the people that pay in the end are all of us on the ground so in the end we have each other and need to help each other and be there for each other!!! Do your thing sir!!!
Yooo wsg Bro , im a senior in high school rn and im enlisting into the AF rn too. How’s the life of SecFo? I really want this job but I’m scared because of people saying toxic leadership ?? And that I won’t enjoy it but I wanna do policing after my service 🥲
I’m ngl they’re moving away from the “police” side of secfo at least when I was in tech school it was more about being diplomat ready but idk. Also toxic leadership is in every single job not in just the military or secfo you’ll run into it no matter what job you do, but overall yes I love it.. I’m currently trying to do what I need to do to go k9 but I like it honestly. LOTS of shred outs & it’s pretty easy to make a packet for them as well.
I leave for basic next week! I can’t wait for Security Forces tech school. Thank you for your videos!
Its easy man basic is a cake walk but its also the most fun you’ll never wanna do again
Me too bro bro

Slick setup💪🏼 If you attach the dangler onto the Velcro of the platebag, it stays closer to the body and doesn’t flop around as much. Stay safe
I’ll definitely give that a try
Great Video, everything looks good :)
Thank you my man
Other gear reviews or IRL - Day in the life type content to get your perspective on things would be cool!
Gotcha
It is crazy how even POG gets better equipped. The Army Airborne Forces for instance still rucking in ACH’s lol
Like I said majority of the the gear I use in the video was purchased not issued because my gear issues kit was aaaasssss
Sick fit dawg enlisting this Friday in the NMANG as SF as well. Definitely can’t wait to be all geared tf out lol
It feels good when you go from the shitty stuff they give you to something nice, enjoy it though for sure
