I made this video halfway through my tour. We actually had 1000+ hours outside the wire.

  • For example, on this deployment there was about 50 of us who had an OTW mission and a whole bunch of other SF who did law enforcement on base or working the entry control points. Its a gamble man. Me personally I like being SF. You will get plently of opportunitys to deploy being SF, as far as OTW its a gamble everytime man.

  • Ill be honest with you man it all depends. AF has Pararescue, Combat Controller, JTAC, etc. and they definitly see a lot of action. If you go SF so many different things can happen. You could end up in Montana or North Dakota gaurding nuclear missles where you wont deploy the whole time you are there. Im in the 820th and we dont do any normal cop operations. We litteraly train all year around to deploy. You will still deploy a lot being normal SF but your never gaureenteed an OTW mission.

  • Would you suggest SF? Like patrol wise. Cause im set on the Air Force but i dunno if i wanna do security forces cause i wanna be OTW alot.

  • at 09;19 thats rt trousers right? found afew big surprises just down the road from there on jersey and on garden...but over all not a bad route to patrol on....it must be nice having the matv's...doing the same shit on the same roads in a max pro+ made the days alot more interesting
