Avoid security Forces. Avoid it it is a culture of zombies and succubus that will eat you alive. Yes There are 2 helpful reviews 2 No. The only good thing about the airforce is the benefits. Having every moment of your life controlled was a pain. The work environment is hostile the higher-ranked individuals look down at lower-ranked people and treat them like garbage. Pros benefits. Cons work environment.
Basically its everyone for himself. Honestly youre mostly on your own around selfish people. Youre told where to work and when. You dont have much control over your job and higher up rarely listen to problems.
They play favorites with employees, so you must "butter up" people to get ahead. The more youre willing to do whats asked without question, the more valuable you become, but also the most overused. Pros Free housing, food card, discounts at BX. Cons Higher Ups' abuse of power, forced to work training days whenever deemed neccessary, lack of support, etc. It's a good, secure job if you don't know what you want to do for work.
Very demanding and expectations are sometimes unreasonable. Get your mind right and you'll be solid. Pros Full benefits. Cons Terrible leadership. The Air Force provides people with foundation, morals, and opportunities that are not often provided elsewhere. That said, it is a stepping stone for me.
For others, it is their everything and more. I am a Security Forces Sergeant and I will say the rigors of this job weigh down on you and others. It is demanding, required, and necessary. Assets must be protected, the law will be enforced and gates need to be manned It is plain and simple. I have come by amazing and mediocre leaders, but the experiences, information, and education I have gained are invaluable. I garnered a Bachelor's degree free of charge, applicable experience, became a leader, was given a security clearance and ensured a secure life for my family.
Benefits are great, the pay is okay, for enlisted but job satisfaction just is not there for me personally. I love the people, title, and benefits aside from pay but both the intrinsic and extrinsic motivators do not align with my future goals. I am deeply indebted to the Air Force for what it has afforded me, will be staying in the Reserves, but do highly recommend straying from the Security Forces career field.
You will gain essential skills in SF, work your tail off, be broken down and built up, and make endless friendships, but the same thing can be done in many other more prosperous and fulfilling careers outside of SF. Also, leaders and management are hit or miss. People often use the phrase, "toxic" which has become a stigma attached to SF, but remember, everyone will have differing opinions and perspectives.
There is much more, so if you're newly - more The people you meet are great. Spent 6 years AD in Security forces. Overall the air force takes care of its people but security forces is just terrible. If you enjoy being micro managed and have flight chiefs breathing down your neck every second this job is for you. Supervisors are not properly trained and no one really knows what they're doing.
Operations leaders will tell you one thing, your flight will tell you another, and then you get in trouble for the lack of communication that surrounds the squadron.
Amazing experience but imo get your degree and get out to do something you really enjoy. Cons stress, away from family, constant schedule changes. The military of any branch is where you can find yourself if your young and physically and mentally sound, however dont expect much in seeing others who are there for patriotic reasons, there is always another driving factor and if you were the 1 percent like myself who bleed blue and wanted to see others trying to elevate themselves you may but just know it's more likely to financially motivated more than anything else.
However there are the few that make the grind worth it all. This job makes you want to die. You will feel all sense of joy and comfort in your life be sucked out of you by your leadership and then dangled in front of you as they tease you with having total control over your day to day. Homophobic, Sexist, Racist culture. Yes There are 1 helpful reviews 1 No There are 1 unhelpful reviews 1.
They treat you like garage. Severely overworked, severely unpaid. You have very little free time. Help us improve! Unless you have literally nothing else going for you or you're a masochist, don't enlist.
I have nothing good to say about my time in the Air Force. Total joke. It was good to be apart of the Air Force family. My work varied a lot in the Air Force and that goes with any job you get. Management always changed which could be a good and bad thing really depends. Culture was great though. Wasn't really anything hard about the job when I was in, you can always learn everything.
I mostly enjoyed being stable at such a young age. Only reason I left was to pursue other careers. Pros Good pay and benefits. Cons Sometimes stressful. Definitely not a bad gig. You will more than likely come out of the Air Force appreciating that you did so for the rest of your life. From tuition assistance to the GI bill to the VA loans, it's a good deal.

Yes There are 2 helpful reviews 2 No. The most inclusive and diverse culture with an abundance of opportunities for volunteering and career exploration. The Air Force is an amazing start in the work force or a great new adventure. It's the military. You should expect to deploy at least once every 3 years. Do you wanna progress in your career it's up to you to take those steps. No leaders are supervisors will push you to progress yourself.
I feel one of the biggest downfalls in the military is their ability to communicate effectively to lower enlisted. Many 1st term airman are treated like children or treated like they can't perform their job.
Pros Unbeatable benefits. The pay is good housing is provided and money for food. If you apply your self focus and pay attention promotion is inevitable. Worked long hours sometimes for a hundred hours a week.
On the positive side I received free college and training. I have been stationed all across the world and have guarded nuclear bombs I guarded the president and Air Force one. I ended up getting extremely depressed due to slow promotion rates and getting in trouble for small things.
Pros Travel and college. Cons Work life balance little to no off days maltreatment poor pay. Job gives you a lot of great experience, if you go into the right career field you'll come out of your air force commitment a more knowledgeable person.
Pros Health care, educational benefits. In sum, the degree of difficulty is extraordinarily high. We ought perhaps to marvel that such programs ever succeed, not that they mostly fail.
But our efforts to train foreign militaries also fail because of shortcomings particular to American policy choices. We convey the limits of our intentions.
The same message is transmitted by assigning the training task solely to the military. The surges of military forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan were supposed to have civilian counterparts. Neither surge, in Iraq or Afghanistan, delivered on its aims to strengthen civilian governance, which is essential for military training programs not to outpace and thereby undermine their civilian counterparts.
Many U. By contrast, Iran—a country very good at training foreign forces, having successfully done so in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, to name a few—has relationships spanning decades.
About the only time the U. Many experts on security assistance argue for making U. This approach has three drawbacks.
