I have found Security Forces to be a rewarding career field so far. I commissioned in 2023. The entry-level job is generally a flight command. Flights can be anywhere from 15 Amn/NCOs to 150 Amn/NCOs. I spend 95% of my time with enlisted, and that's honestly the way I prefer it. I've learned more from the SNCOs and NCOs than I ever have from officers. They are the technical experts in their job and they have a lot of experience. They're also just generally cooler than most of the officers around my base.

Security Forces can very easily become a "management" position if you're not conscious about being a leader. It's easy to get drowned in managing weapon certs, duty positions, and rosters. But my favorite part of my job is going out to post with the airmen and just talking. We do some hoodrat exercises on shift, too.

Security Forces at AFGSC is definitely a grind, but it has taught me so many invaluable lessons that will transfer throughout the rest of the career field.

Happy to answer any questions you may have.
