My research topic is the military career, Security Police. Next February, I plan to join the Air Force as a SP and this is a good way to get more information on that career. This career is related to America because SPs serve America. As a future career of mine, Security Police in the Air Force serve America in many ways. The first step to having a career in Security Forces is to join the Air Force and go to basic training. First you talk to a recruiter. You will need to take the ASVAB tests to see what careers you are eligible for due to your scores. Next, you go to MEPS to test for general physical ability. A lot of contracts will have to be signed and you are given dates for basic training and tech school. Basic training is a six-week “summer camp” in San Antonio, TX at Lackland AFB. BMT mentally and physically trains you in many areas. You will participate in marching, conditioning classes, pt, and obstacle courses. It is designed to prepare for when national requirements put duty ahead of self. Needs will be personal focus, effort, and teamwork. Upon graduation you will need to be able to meet certain fitness requirements. For males, you must run two miles in eighteen minutes, do forty-five sit-ups in two minutes, and thirty pushups in two minutes. Women must be able to run two miles in twenty-one minutes, do thirty-eight sit-ups in two minutes, and do fourteen pushups in two minutes. BMT will help to build stamina of body and mind. (D) The next step to being a SP is to go to tech school.
