Air Force sf officer or Coast Guard maritime law enforcement officer?

[madison86]

i am 18 and going into college and after college i want to join either the coast guard and become a boarding officer or maritime law enforcement officer or the Air Force and become a Security Forces officer i was wondering if anyone can tell me about either officer career and which might be better in their opinion.

Coast Guard for sure. You will actually do things in Coast Guard ME.

In Air Force Security Forces, unless deployed, you will probably be sitting at a gate, or watching grass grow. And as an officer, it will be even worse.

So yeah, go USCG, one of their main jobs is Law Enforcement.

Well it really depends on what you're looking for and what you want outside of the military. If you are interested in Law Enforcement then the Coast Guard is definately you best bet. AF SF is more like light infantry for base defense and projecting Air Focre assets and personnel. You'll get a lot more experience for law enforcement in the Coast Guard.

Worry about getting commissioned in either of those branches, not the job, as if you can't pull off a 3.5 GPA in a technical major you won't be getting commissioned in either.
