What is it like to be a 31PX Security Forces Officer?

Kevin, I am a retired Lt Col Security Forces Officer. I did six years enlisted in Security Police (the name didn't change to Security Forces until 1997) and had a 20 month break in service while I finished my college with a Criminal Justice degree and applied to OTS. I worked my first two years in Minuteman missile launch and then managed to get back in Security Police. As an enlisted member, I attended the SP academy and became a law enforcement specialist (the career field was divided between security and law enforcement at the time). When I moved back into the SP field as a 1LT, I attended the officer side of the SP academy. A year later I attended the Army's Infantry Officer Basic Course at Fort Benning. I was one of two USAF officers in the training company. The USAF didn't have their own Air Base Ground Defense Schools at the time so we used Army courses that taught the same skills the Air Force wanted. I progressed up through the ranks at the normal speed and was privileged to command two SF squadrons and an Expeditionary Support Squadron in the middle east. I served overseas in South Korea, Honduras, Africa, and Kuwait. The opportunity to develop leadership skills in SF is greater than most career fields in the USAF. As an SF officer you will lead more people than almost any other career field. If you decide to go that route, I wish you the very best. I had a most enjoyable and rewarding career and served with some of the finest people in the Air Force.

Where were you at? My son is 11B at Ft Campbell. He is considering switching over to security forces when he ETSs. AF SF will be a good fit if you enjoy being abused now. Hahaha Life in the AF is quite a bit different than an infantry unit. We actually care about the individual, for the most part. Plus you can show them how to properly wear the beret! LMAO
I'm sure someone will be able to answer AF SF specific questions. The base you get makes a different as well. The 3 northern tier AF bases with Minuteman missiles have a additional mission which might utilize your 11B/C skills. Maybe an asset to the unit.
Good luck, Sir! LOL
