- During early 2017 34 US Air Force Officers came together and attended a 127-day training class that culminated with them becoming Officers in the Security Forces career field. This is their story.
This video is one of the few things on the internet that actually gives you an idea about what the security forces officer training is really like. I am in ROTC, and I plan on putting security forces for my AFSC.
That is awesome. We welcome you with open arms! LMK if you have any questions at all!!!
Have you seen Army ROTC?
@@chris4shore I have a question. I scored 80 on my ASVAB and I lifted 80 lbs. at MEPS. I now have a choice between Public Affairs Officer, Security Forces Officer, or Emergency Management in the Air Guard of Puerto Rico. Which of these three careers do you recommend?
@@ThePaganSun This response is REALLY late...but hopefully you took SF...only one of three that offers a chance for command.
When they was getting tased the guy in the middle on the left had this evil smile every time.
His name is Lt Green I’m deployed with him
Can't wait to get commissioned. I went to the enlisted tech school, and spent 3 weeks at camp Bullis. Great times!
Jonshea Raynor why’s that bro?
hahaha. Don't want to visit Bullistan anymore?
Impressive. Lots of things have changed since the transition from 811 to 3PO.
I can imagine!
I am currently a 15 year old sophomore in high school setting big goals for myself constantly. I am doing a career research project on the Security Forces! My family is made up of military and police officers and I knew that I would continue this family tradition. So as soon as I found the security forces I knew that's where I wanted to go! When I graduate high school I will be one of the youngest in my class at 17. I honestly cant wait!
Well my friend do you prefer ots (officer training school) luxury or bmt (basic military training) stricted dump you choose my friend.
Thats awesome. Focus on the now and excel where you can, it'll set yourself up for the future. Let me know if you need anything at all or if you have any questions.
Work your butt off to get good grades...it will maximize your options...whether you go enlisted or officer. Best of luck.
Whats up! How is it coming along?
Stay in school and attend ROTC in college.
I'm glad to know the route I want to go is as badass as I thought it was.
How does this training differ from the training enlisted Security Forces receive? I was a Law Enforcement Specialist in 1972-1976 enlisted, and wish we had this training. In college I was in a Police Cadet Corp majoring in LE and our self defense was putting on gloves and going up against others, sometimes with Golden Gloves experience, what a slaughter.
The course has changed several times over the most recent ten years. The most recent course lines up closely with the enlisted course and gives more integration than the course I went through. The course I went through was all officers.
It changed again to only have like 2 days integrated when I went through
This was a really cool video. Loved the camera angles using the gopro and the drones. Excellent music choices too!
Thank you for the positive feedback, its much appreciated.
I have kept watching the videos of the military police and I work on tractors and I am doing my best to study for the ASVAB test , I pray that I will make a good score on it, and the reason I would join this type of job is because I grew up with a hard life and I have been bullied in school and I dropped out but through the years I earned my highschool diploma online. I choose the military police because I would love to practice martial arts; to become my Dad's favorite actors and martial artists: Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee.
Hey Brett, you should absolutely study up and try to get the best score you can. That score will follow you your entire military career. With that said though, good news for you is you don't need a super high ASVAB score to do Security Forces. Good luck!
@@chris4shore thanks
Talking to my recruiter about SFS today. Considering every option I have right now.
Good luck with your decision. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.
@@chris4shore Hey Chris! I ship out December 10th in a couple of days here for SF. any tips? also what should I go for in physical requirements as far as push ups and sit ups go?
yoo that was a mavic. you're able to make videos like these!? Thats sooo sick
Jacob Lopez used GoPro software to edit. though I'd recommend using something else, it crashed so many times.
Quick question, as an officer do you actually do the normal things a sf person would do but give orders as well or do you just give orders and control what people do, I’m wondering be I don’t know if I should enlist or join as an officer because I know I want to be out there helping. Or does it completely rely on rank, or do you have some choice? Thanks
my question as well
Hey Chris, how often do Security Forces Officers deploy? Are we talking like once every three years?
When they do deploy, what is the average length of a deployment? I heard about six months, but Navy deployments average to about 8, and Army deployments are At LEAST one year.
Six month deployments... If you are Active Duty you will deploy about once every other year, but also depends which MAJCOM you end up in.
More than most..
Can you apply ots as a civilian or you have to be an enlisted airman first. Again just curious.
You can commission straight into the Air Force.
So like @BN3 said you can commission straight into the Air Force. We had ROTC/OTS/and Academy graduates in my Security Forces tech school class.
What's the training schedule look like for officers? Up at 0500, PT (your choice) 0515-0630, coffee (mandatory) 0715-0900, classroom 0900-1100, lunch 1100-1400, free time 1400-1630, DOT complete at 1630
Wish I could tell ya... I went through the course 3-years ago and it has since changed. When we were there it differed day-to-day depending one what block of instruction we were in. Field phase ended up being the longest of long days.
I am debating going the enlisted or the officer route to become an Air Force security force. Any advice and or suggestions?
shawn hall there are reasons to do both. If you already have your degree absolutely look into going O.
*MO MATTER WHAT* go O.
Why on earth would anyone enlist with a degree?
I would rather not be treated like a child for 1/3 the pay lol
Wait can someone be an officer if he ain’t got fully American accent but with slightly British accent in there?
I just wanna know how he was able to launch his drone on base!
They are at Camp Bullis on the northwest side of San Antonio. It has no, or at least didn’t when I used to go there, aircraft or runway. So drone flight is not a problem. Helicopter traffic is very minimal and sporadic.
Do you guys do the whole sleep deprivation thing for the first 36 hours at the beginning of this school? Or OTS?
We sure did. That was an interesting week from what I remember of it.
Do you have the choice not to
Get tased and pepper spray?
Also I rather get pepper spray seems better
This looks pretty similar to how Bullis is for enlisted. Can anyone point out major differences between the enlisted and commissioned courses??
It's a combined schoolhouse now for certain phases.
I’m going into the rotc program but that would make me become an officer BUT I want to deploy into a foreign country guarding and maybe get combat action. But officers don’t do that at all do they?
They do. We have SF Officers currently serving in Afghanistan. In addition, the 820th does some pretty high-speed stuff in theater.
Yep...they do.
What do you do as a SF officer after u finish training? Just sit around all day?
haha, Wouldn't that be nice Oogway? No, it depends on your assigment. Typically the first assignment you are going to get involves something at the Flight Level. Meaning you will be a Flight Leader/Commander.
Nah-- no sitting around. Depends on the assignment. The basic 44-man flight UTC was the QFEBC (if my 59-year old memory serves me right). Went to SF Tech school as an "old" Captain/Major selectee in Jan 97, and left the career field in 2007 (back to ICBMs) as an O-6. Loved the troops.
What are the daily duties of being a brand new SF officer?
Does this career field translate well into civilian/private sector?
Translates almost flawlessly with stateside law enforcement. Translates well with private security. Somewhat translatable to private defense contractors.
If you already have a 4 year degree do you still have to do rotc or anything like that to be an officer?
I am pretty sure ROTC would've been done in unison with obtaining that degree... so you would probably be looking at joining directly and going through OTS (Officer Training School).
So do security forces officers get to choose the kind of job they wanna be in after graduation? Like whether to be in cadre, raven, swat, arms, or K9?
We have an active role in our career progression for sure. Right out of the gate the options are more limited than when you get a little bit more experience.
@jersey so you they get to choose from some of the above jobs right? If not could u please explain more
@@t-tubetv6558 There are special assignments that can be requested.... A whole lot to explain with just a limited text box here. Feel free to shoot me an email and I can elaborate a little more!
@@chrisgablesquaredawayrealt3314 Theophiluslims1@gmail.com
That’s my email
Pfft...the only time these officers will see the field.😂
haha. true story.
True
@Joshua Truesdell Having that experience with your LT. Would you say LT are essentially not allowed to do go out to field with you or is that they just choose not to?
@@neatchip123 Every assignment is different.
@@chris4shore Thank you!
Went through the Officer pipeline Jan-April 1997. Hooah.
Hooah sir!
@@chris4shore BTW...the soundtrack to GCS at Bullis for me is ZZ Top album Rhythmeen...
@@chris4shore HOOAH!
Officer Training School/Air Force Interview. In a couple of weeks I will go to my first official interview(OTS). Any advise... Thank you
How did you make out on your interview?
What is your role while a deployed SF Officer a
Depends on the assignment really.... I have not deployed yet as an O, but typically it is going to involve being a Flight Leader/Commander unless you have enough rank to be the Operations Officer.
Can you deploy in Korea as an security forces officer just curious.
Yes!
im in the af and have a ba of criminal justice, anyone could tell me how to trans to sf officer?
Go to your Base Training Office and let them know you are interested in Cross-training.
If you are prior enlisted and all ready got OC sprayed, would you need to get sprayed again? Even if you got a certificate,
They were talking about making exceptions when I went through.... about a year and a half ago. Don't know if that gained any traction.
@@chris4shore Sure hope so. Wouldn't want to go through that again
Anyone know if the officers ever have to go to a war zone or do they usually just stay at base?
In short, yes. We have had Security Forces in both Iraq and Aghanistan.
Chris Gable Alrighty. Thanks for the info.
So I want to be a soccer player in the mls and go play for leagues like the premier league then retire at 37 or so to serve as a security forces officer for 4 years, then be a manager for soccer teams like mls or epl can anyone tell me about the military part and what steps I need to accomplish to reach my goal. This might seem weird but this is truly my passion football and the military.Thanks
Well you can always talk to your local Air Force recruiter get your paperwork and go through basic training and then go to security forces tech school, but before all of that you need to get through the ASVAB and you would like to score above a 50 on it in order to have some wider options for your preferred career path with the USAF
How long can you be in the air force as an officer
Are you asking what is the max time? Like mandatory retirement?
@@chris4shore yes
@@hughmungus4698 Mandatory retirement at 62 YOA, unless you make General.
How heavy is landnav for this school?
It wasn't too bad. We spent a couple weeks on it though and you definitely will get lost of you don't have a solid foundation.
Not very -- at least in 1997
what asvab score do I need? I got a 54 with a GT of 106
ASVAB is for enlistment. This video is Officer training.
For SFO (or any Officer AFSC) you'll need to take the AFOQT rather than the ASVAB
Anthony nailed it. Need the AFOQT for Officer SF.
What major in college would you pick that gets you into security forces? (Not in law enforcement nor with military working dogs)
Salad Soy it doesnt matter what your degree is.
okay man
Salad Soy they will take most bachelors degrees unless its something stupid or useless, but if you want to work in a gov. Agency after the airforce it would help to get a degree in law enforcement or intel
No, I'm talking about rotc in college and the major/ classes I should take in order to get me into security forces
For example, if you study law they'll most likely to put you in law enforcement
Lord this is what I want to do!
Hopefully can add you to the team sometime soon!! 🤙
@@chris4shore omggg! Yesss I’ve been being so patient I’m just waiting on the CMO to see if he clears me for knee surgery I had back in 2014. I do need some routines for workout and meals though is there something you could help me out with?
Is this officer or enlisted?
xXMichaelGachaXx :3 title.
This is the Officer course. The Officer and Enlisted course has recently been streamlined... Now Officers train right next to the Enlisted men and women.
NOTHING LIKE BACK IN 76..THAT'S 1976..
We got the same last name:)
Why does the Air Force make such a big deal out of being Security Forces? In the Marine Corps, we hated the MP's. We called them Blue Falcons.
Yooo, so I am not too sure what you mean by "big deal." Security Forces is also much more than "Military Police," hence the name Security Forces and not Security Police. We do both base defense and law enforcement missions, not to mention our A and B shreds of K9 and Combat Arms (training all Air Force personnel on weapons).
@@chrisgablesquaredawayrealt3314 "Hence the name Security Forces and not Security Police"...Both the USMC and USAF have jobs with different names but do the exact same job, so what exactly is your point? They are still camouflaged cops. No offense but how many weapons does the average Air force personnel get trained on, and to what level of proficiency? All Air Force personnel means that Security Forces are also training PJs, CCT's and Air Recon on their weapon systems, correct? Not trying to be a smartass, but your statement made me curious. None of the other things seem any different from MPs in the Marine Corps or the Army for that matter. The exception being, the training of Marines on weapons systems. We send Marines to Weapons Training Battalion or the unit can run certain training in-house depending on the certifications held (RSO, OIC, CMT, etc.
@@HeavyMental1000 i trained on m 9 m18 m4 m249 did 7 months on the EST(swat team) trained with snipers ravens trf etc u got to put in the work to get off the gate
Hardcore training for riding a shack for 4 years.
Welp, not everyone rides that shack 😉
@@chris4shore To avoid us getting into a comment-pissing match, let's just meet in the middle and say Security Forces after tech school is not as high speed, and the future of many of these airmen involve sitting in a shack watching a red line.
Remember union members, call 9-11 before you do anything.
That's almost as tough as Army supply training.
I didn't see any officers. You're kidding, right?
You don't see the butter bars and captains getting trained?
Someone needs to go to ROTC to learn the ranks lol step #1 for sure thing.
huh? Plenty of butter bars running around in this video...
@@chris4shore can a Reserve/Guardsman who is security forces become a K9 handler?
@@ignaciotanguma3572 the National Guard does NOT have any K9s, so that's a no for the Guard. I'm pretty sure the Reserve you would have that opportunity if your unit is located with an active duty K9 unit. You'd have to further research that though, I'm not too savvy about the specifics of K9 in the reserves.
Lmao this officer training looks alot dinner and safer than the enlisted SF training I w through. What's up with all the happiness I see, ain't suppose to be none of that
lol. Yea, wheres the suck at?
hope you all dont come and to active units and get trampled by leadership. grow some some freaking nuts and speak up when shit dont make sense 90% of time. Oh you doubt, wait a few years....
Nailed it. Leadership is important.
