[QUOTE="Nelson Atwell, post: 731251, member: 59102"] I don't have to Google anything about the military. I have been in it for 20 years, and had many close friends in the Security Forces career field. My Step-brother also was a Security Policeman in the Army. My grandfather was in civilian law enforcement for 40 years, and also was the Jailer for his city towards the end. I had numerous friends in law enforcement in my home town as well, before I joined the military. Yes, Security Forces personnel do some law enforcement duties, however I know that most in this career field are out in the trenches fighting the GWOT and supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is not a huge demand for someone to enforce traffic laws, investigate murders, and take shoplifters into custody in the controlled environment of a military base. The job done by security forces is difficult and dangerous. I never said it wasn't. I never stated that you aren't professionals, because I know you have a lot of training and are professionals. However, there is no longer a Security Police specialty in the USAF. This means you have a general knowledge of many areas and receive more in-depth training on the job. The Air Force decided they didn't need anyone in such a narrow specialty for a good reason -- we don't have a huge problem with crime in the Air Force. This is not the same as someone in the civilian world who has gone through a police academy and has to deal with a much different environment in a city with gangs, drive-by shootings, prostitution and the like. I did not disrespect you or Alan in any way. I simply stated a fact. [/QUOTE]
