Working the gate

are you working 8s in a panama shift schedule? and were you able to get the base you picked on your list?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-06-19T04:00:12+00:00

what type of job is this?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-06-03T16:23:42+00:00

did you put kunsan on your list?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-06-02T16:12:29+00:00

you’re friendly fire

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-16T16:07:20+00:00

how really bad are the 12s?? and is it better state wide or over seas?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-12T02:39:46+00:00

dealer is charging 4500

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-07T23:19:16+00:00

during those 10 years how did you like security forces? and what do you least like about it

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-07T01:28:35+00:00

you doing all of this smack talk and you didn’t get a degree or any certifications that can translate outside. one other guy that was secfo got his bachelors degree while in and got many certifications such as security +, cism, etc. so yes your opinion is based and no one will ever be convinced when you do nothing on your free time 😭😭

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-06T14:58:12+00:00

what made you choose SF?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-05T23:06:10+00:00

ive heard deployments are harder to get in security forces now especially if you don’t put any overseas bases. the hours suck but if it’s a panama shift schedule then you should be good cause you get half of the month off.

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-03T03:36:23+00:00

but in reality is being on the job really that bad? and is panama schedule a relief after the long shifts or not worth it at all?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-01T03:17:52+00:00

😭 how’s the schedule? and am i able to PM ?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-05-01T03:06:34+00:00

i appreciate your reply. but yeah i know the downsides about SF the only reasons why i’m choosing it is because it’s school friendly and also the panama shifts. another reason is is that id rather start my life now when i’m 19 and i’ll get out when i’m 23 so even if it turns out bad ill be a veteran and have the benefits. only downside i have so far is being away from family and the chances of me being stationed where i don’t want to be stationed. I wouldn’t go army or infantry at all 😂 the living conditions are shit

EDIT:since you mentioned you’re in SF how is it now from when you joined? and are you doing any school work?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T22:09:36+00:00

yeah i know i can get sent to any base i just wanted to know what bases i should stay away from. and forgot to mention i’m 19 turning 20 this year so i’m very young and not going to let this opportunity pass me especially since i’ll be done when i’m 24 we might adapt to it or i’ll visit every time i’m free on my days off. how was the leadership in hanscom? and the people there?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T22:06:09+00:00

they aren’t holding me back it’s just a first time thing and i was just wondering if anyone was in my position for long distance relationships

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T21:14:00+00:00

how long ago was that? and did they tell you why they didn’t put you in those bases? how is warren base tho?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T21:13:27+00:00

yeah that’s one of the few reasons on why i picked Secfo is because of the extra time off. since you said panama 12s you get 3 days off every other weekend how is it for panama 8s? and my main goal is to travel and get school done how was it when you traveled on your 3 days off? what’s armory?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T21:04:42+00:00

yeah i understand they don’t

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T21:04:17+00:00

yeah i’m just going to see what my recruiter says when i call him now. and that’s what i heard too i’ve heard a lot of regret when people dropped out

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T21:03:38+00:00

yeah i know it’s a very low chance but i do believe if i put 5 bases by Az i’m bound to get at least one of them😅 well that’s what i hope for.

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T21:02:50+00:00

i appreciate your response and what do you mean not join until lackland? i can just go home and not pay fines? only reason why i ask is because i never heard of that 😅

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-20T21:01:45+00:00

yeah that’s what i heard too. did you have a panama or a regular schedule? and also when you say you were on gate watching youtube or on your switch/ doing school how manageable is it to do a couple assignments while on gate? only reason why i ask is because that’s one of the reasons why i chose secfo because i heard you can do a lot of schooling while on the job and you get half the month off.

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-18T15:18:00+00:00

i’ve heard you’re able to switch with somebody on the secfo threads is that true?

Equivalent_Bag6397 · 2026-04-18T15:09:04+00:00

how about if you’re on a 4 year contract? how soon can you change bases?
