US Air Force Security Forces - What Deployment is REALLY LIKE!

The past 6 months have been amazing! Have met life long friends and made endless memories that I can look back on for the rest of my life! There are definitely stressful times during deployment, as you’re away from loved ones for a long period of time. But if you put your all in it and open yourself to making new relationships with people, it’ll be a great experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life!

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

I miss those days....thank you for sharing this.

[@user-hb8be5wb4q]

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!!!!

Great Vid capturing your deployment... I miss the deployments even being away from family, friends and home can suck at times.

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!

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.

No problem man! I’m glad you liked it and good luck to you brother!

[@zyngod_8631]

Motivation 100%

[@blurryface4341]

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.

[@thatboi_tray5601]

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.

[@chrishamilton5260]

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.

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!

[@rmandiou1]

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.

[@PatrickHaggan]

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.

Thanks for the love Patrick!

[@matthewslopez7479]

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?

[@fijifromgigi8596]

this just made me cry 😭 i miss my deployment so much. i went to PSAB may 11-november 11 2021

[@rmandiou1]

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]

@@rmandiou1 they reopened it in 2019. the old psab is for the Saudis now

[@rmandiou1]

@@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.

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!

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

[@victorfuentes4789]

Try the air national guard. You get more benefits. That’s what I plan to do

[@isiahz]

Go for it, I went reserve. Best thing you could do. Especially when you can volunteer for deployments.

[@ExcaliburRings]

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.
