on a scale of 1 - 10 how hard is Air Force Security Forces training?

Question

be detailed

Answer 1

Most jobs in the Air Force are relatively relaxed. Not the case with SF. They are the air force infantry and earned their berets for a reason. They have been considered a special force since shortly after the end of vietnam. They specialize in air base ground defense. You will be trained on multiple weapon systems and ground combat techniques. You will not be spending all of your time in an air conditioned office or barracks. When I was in, I spent about 9 months out or every year deployed somewhere. Spent every major holiday, birthday, or aniversary in a mudhole somewhere. Hard work but you will develop friendships that will last a lifetime. How hard is it? Depends on what you can take. You wont know till you get there. but just to let you have some idea, we used to play war games with the marines and the army on a regular basis. Generally kicked the hell out of em.

Answer 2

There are different areas. It depends on what you like to do and what you're good at.

There is classroom time of course, and there is field time.

Yes people who flunk out of other career fields can end up in SF, but that does not mean they'll be good at SF either.

Don't listen to the guy about the Army, or anyone else for that matter. SF are everywhere and train similar to the Army (in fact you can go to Army schools for this and that.) SF usually do better than the Army guys in their own schools. SF deploys everywhere the Army does, only SF stays longer. When the Army messes up, SF has to go in and fix the problem (reason we now have control over the prisons and training the Iraqii's.)

Answer 3

I have 3 members of my family associated with the Air Force, 1 former, 1 retired and 1 active duty. According to them security is where all that flunk out of technical schools go. So, I guess a 1 out of 10.

Answer 4

I your scale goes all the way down to 1, count on 15.

Answer 5

Airforce is known to be easy. Most prior servicemen and women transfers to the airforce because of its known relaxed environment. You can ask all the Military people you'll meet, and they will all the same thing. If you have a moderate strength for a light physical fitness (check their physical agility standards) ---its easy. You're timed to ride a stationary bike.

PS. I served the US Army 10th Mountain Division light infantry. It was miles of running and road marches carrying a heavy loads. BUT If I have the chance all over again, I'd join the airforce---More chances of me serving my 20 yrs.
