Anyone know if SF tech school moved over to the new pt standards for the pt test yet? I leave next week(prior service). Been practicing for the 2 mile run but it’s now going well. My reporting instructions still have the old test on it but you never know. Wasn’t supposed to go until September but found out like two weeks ago that I’m leaving next week. Thanks in advance

Mine is a hangar that patrols supposedly hear stuff at night when its supposed to be empty, as well as a community center with weird noises/stuff being misplaced between building checks at night

I’ve been trying to find some posts online about the process, but i’ve only found bits and pieces. How long does it take for AFPC to review your case and for retrain to be approved? i submitted mine end of April , last update was CC was notified of retrain. Thanks in advice!

Submitting my BOP and interested in all bases listed. Background nukes and LE. Looking for a tempo change trying to get into the BDG, CRG, Raven, or Dagre. Any insight on these locations. Thanks.

Heard it’s Panama 12s and if your E4 or below all you’re gonna be doing is gate work all shift on your feet. I heard the work sucks ass and is depressing as hell, anyone have insight ?

Leaving for tech school as a prior service in two weeks. Got any tips or advice? I’ve heard the hotel on base sucks, but it is what it is. What’s the daily tempo like? I’ve heard multiple answers like it’s either BMT 2.0 or it’s super chill. All the info I’m finding is from people who went a few years ago and just looking for info from anyone who’s been recently. Thanks in advance

I will be leaving for tech school in the next few months and wanted to know how leave works for Security Forces tech school during holiday exodus. Can you take leave anywhere as long as it’s approved and can you go negative? I will be TDY and won’t have much leave.

Any info helps, thanks!

This is my next base. As someone who is lower enlisted, what’s the work life like at ramstein? I heard it’s all 12s, and will be gate work like 99% of the time. Just wondering if you guys could provide a little insight of what it’s really like. Thanks

Hopefully I pass meps smoothly, and I don’t think I’ll have a problem landing a SF contract. But I need advice on base list. I want somewhere that’s fun and has a lot of women/party scene. Just so I have something to enjoy while I’m off work.

Hello everyone I looked through absolutely through the entire Reddit page and couldn’t find an answer, so I thought I would ask. I am 24 years old. Was in DEP for active duty but got discharged because I landed a good defense contracting full time position before my ship date. Decided to focus on my job, as it pays good, but I still have interests to serve in the AF. I always wanted to do security forces. I know it sounds insane, and other people have mixed opinions of it, but I always wanted to try it for myself. Even if I ended up hating it, I would atleast wanted to say I tried it.

Now my couple of questions for you knowledgeable defenders. I have a AD dep discharge, I know it doesn’t look good on my profile, but do you think a reserves/guard recruiter will give me a chance for 3P0 if their is a position in the base?

Does Guard/Reserves do schools, is it common for bases to send weekend warriors if they are fit and highspeed to raven, army schools, dagre, etc? (I am aware funding for the state is accounted in this)

I am aware they do deploy, that’s not an issue as I already deploy to locations with my current job and many in the company are TACP/3P0/Intel guard/reserves themselves.

Thanks everyone

What’s the chances of deployment been in the last 10 years to now and for the people who have been deployed, what do you do what was it like? Where’d you go? Thank you.

Just got orders to Clear out of Minot lol leaving in December. I am a E5 single no dependents and a dog( a boxer). Any information what to expect or to prepare for, haven’t heard much about this base yet besides its a short tour.
