I was at KAF 2003-04. There were still minefields around the flight line. Shit pond, crappy internet, crappy pay phones, small PX, small bazaar on the weekends. We usually left the base on combat missions. For weeks at a time. Best thing we had was Robin Williams visited the base in December 2003. 10th MTN DIV. Climb To Glory! 🇺🇸

Awesome footage!
And great video
Thank you kiah43!!!
Was reminiscing my time in KAF and came across this vid. Nice upload. Although I was there a few years ago; and from another Air Force, it seems not too much has changed. I can vouch that the advice given here is sound.
I was in Kandahar from 2005-2008 in Surport of the troops, very rewarding.
At first I was thinking about security forces as a CAREER but after seeing that security forces not only get DEPLOYED, but the also go outside the wire
I realized that this is not for me because one of my fears is dying in a combat zone
Because I liked security forces on traditional STATESIDE bases because they are like regular police in the city.
No man. They don't go outside the wire man.
I have SEEN security forces go outside the wire before numerous times
@@trentsavage4533 might have been NATO or foreign military
@@diycreationsvet4878 no the video was “ Security forces patrolling in Afghanistan” if you wanna see it for yourself
Btw are you in the USAF or security forces?
@@trentsavage4533 no but i did worked with Aegis, now Garda world.. miss this place alot
Good video!
I was at FOB Pasab 2013-14 your spot on about the eye pro
helo iam ramish i want work bagram air can help me pless iam very want
That’s nice to tell the other s that will be there
What a great video!!
Thanks!
Lane McCall what’s the music you used?!
Haha it's something I found here on CZcams but it's copyrighted so I can't monetize :/
Ah gotcha, well no worries man. Great footage! I’ll be headed there in a few months!
@@Samantha-oe3pp haha have fun!
Have you encountered SSG Kevin A Westbrook over there in Kandahar??
I don't remember. This was almost 4 years ago and I was only there for 6 months.
Any idea how to work with us army as a interpreters in afghanistan??
I don't although there's always a few out there.
dangeriouse
What unit were the Air Force personal with in the clips? Were they security?
Yep, security forces.
Badass
What was your MOS?
AWSOME MOS MR MCCALL BET YOU HAD TO BEAT OUT A LOT OF AIRMEN 4 IT OR WAS IT EASY US ARMY SGT B OUT ps STAY SAFE BROTHER IM A GRUNT IVE SEEN ARE CAMERA GUYs TAKING PICTURES IN A FIRE FIGHT CALMLY GOT BALLS SON !!!
helo iam ramish i want work bagram air can help me pless iam very want
Were you deployed on IA/Augmentee duty? Or did you actually get to do your job as a 1x1?
I did my job!!!
How were you able to go on patrols? Sorry if I’m asking too many questions, I’m just thinking about deploying myself.
Did you patrol? If so how’d you get to, and what was your job over there
Nice footage, i wanna ask is it not allowed to use phone while you’re in mission in Afghanistan?
Muhammad Furqan thank you for info sir! 🙂
Nice video 👌🏻
kevin del rosario Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.
Lane McCall more creative videos man and I notice that you're an organized guy. I'm planning to join the Air Force soon.
kevin del rosario It definitely has some perks to being in! Let me know if you have any questions.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Do a lot of your SF guys get the opportunity to deploy to an area like this or even to Iraq?
The number of people actually going to Iraq/ Afghanistan is low but they are here. I had to beg my leadership to send me on my second deployment to Afghanistan so it’s somewhat difficult
Why is it not called the chow hall like it was called when I was in the AF in the 80's and 90's?
most people still call it the chow hall. DFAC sounds more professional. I'm sure it hurt someones feelings so they changed it.
@@joeevett9007 Spot on!
Patrolling inside KAF... How many PT belt infractions did you cite?
LOL!!! This man knows 😂🤣
@@LaneMcCall I got a citation in 2010 when I went to KAF for a refit for the Arghandab. I'm like dude where we are from a pt belt is the least of our concerns. I still never payed the thing hahaha.
@@LaneMcCall We also got kicked out of Phantom DFAC because our OCPs were thrashed hahaha.
Yep patrolling inside KAF. Its fucking dangerous on the boardwalk. There are insurgents at the Burger King and they left an IED at the green beans cafe:)
@@LaneMcCall Are you guys still in KAF?
i Remember that video
I went to kandahar base and I didn't have somebody to let inside the base.
Wahid Anwari It's not a place you can just walk in haha.
Are the women and men combined besides sleeping quarters?
Cassandra Herron Yes they are!
Thanks for replying, looking back at it that seems like an obvious question haha
So for your afsc do you go out with the combat teams 🙏thank you for service ❤️
No he does not at all
@@scstafford6175 I certainly did 😁 it's called a Jet Tasking brother!
Lane McCall ok 👍
Retired AF (Security Forces) but deployed to Kandahar for 12 months as a civilian employee of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Also did 2 years in Kabul and 12 months at FOB Shank on the Pak-Afghan border. Yes, those rocket attacks are interesting. Also worked at Lash Gar Kah and Qalat. Enjoyed my four years in Afghanistan, learned a lot and would have returned for a 5th year but I had the opportunity to work with the VA as a contracting officer. Too good of an opportunity and career advancement to pass it up. Had the utmost respect for all ISAF members.
which was better, Kandahar or Kabul??
ALL TERRORIST CAMP IN PAKISTAN WHY UH PEOPLE DON'T THERE
Like Evansville Indiana
I know this is an older video but what is or was your MOS
In the AF it is called an AFSC unless they have changed that.
3D1X1
Do security forces do patrols regularly Im really interested in a combat type job with the Air force
Albert Car It depends on what unit they get assigned too. I'd recommend SF or maybe even Special Operations for combat stuff.
Lane McCall do you know which units go out more and is there any way to transfer to a unit that does more deployment type missions
Albert Car That's not really how things work but I would reach out to a recruiter for these questions.
Depends on the unit. Some SF units have different missions.
Albert Car if you want a combat job then it's you only have 4 jobs to pick from in the AF; PJ, CCT, TACP or SOWT. Security forces' primary mission isn't combat. Yes you may end up pulling a patrol outside of the wire but that's the exception and not the rule.
What is your MOS?
I'm out of the Air Force now but I was a 3D1X1
Sick ass editing for 2016
Thanks brother!
Do engine troops deploy to Kandahar?
I have no idea.
Yes they do
Hey man can you tell me how to become a interpreter with US forces.
Was the story about the giant true ?!
What is your AFSC?
I'm a 3D1X1 however, while I was deployed I was doing three different jobs. I was being used as a combat photographer, admin, and comm troop.
Oh cool. Im going in as a 3D0X2. As a 3d guy, how did you get deployed to afghanistan? Did you request it or did they just give you orders? I want to go to the desert at least once in my career but heard it was pretty uncommon for 3D's.
Just by looking at the manpower numbers a 3D will obviously be less likely to deploy in that kind of environment like you stated. However, there are still computers and servers out there and it is our job to make sure they stay running at full capacity.
I was a 64570 when I was in. Supply
hey man what’s your job in the air force?
It looks like it is Security Forces so basicly police
I was a 3D1X1!!! Cyber Systems Technician!
@@Handler2758 Not quite 🤣
Nice vid what song is this
I honestly don't remember. Unfortunately it's a copyright song so I can't monetize the video. I'll do some digging around today and see if I can find it for you though. Thanks for watching!
My brother was an interpreter with US forces.
What is your job in the usaf?
Jordan Myers I'm a computer technician
@@LaneMcCall can you help me pless iam very want pless help me pless bro me
How good is the internet connection out there?
Varial There is still 3G and the connection depends on signals. Some area are pretty good since you in US have no 5G, so the speed of 3G and 4G must not be a huge difference
I heard they put IED,s in the burgers from the Burger King at the board walk.
By IEDs you mean fat fobbits?
There's no burger king lol
@@LaneMcCall not anymore, in 2009 and 2010 there was one.;). Last time i was there in 2013 Burger King was gone.
@@LaneMcCall man now i feel old. Times have changed haha.
Wat type of uniform is that is that a air force ocp or something
Platinumkill1 Yes it's the OCP's. The Air Force will actually be switching to it within the next few years!
Lane McCall oh cool
so even without being Security Forces you still get to do patrols and infantry shit? thats kinda cool
Yup. We do quite a bit of that stuff surprisingly
No!
No I’m not sure how this guy went outside KAF but regular Air Force doesn’t patrol outside with the infantry guys.
Infantry shit?! 😂. That would require they are more than a 15 min walk from the green bean coffee stand.
I was jet tasked! Otherwise I never would've left the base
hahaha, the drawer is OPEN..... and red ROFL
David Mullins It's not that red though lol. PA has already seen the video.
Hay I'm now in Kandahar tell me, Do you like Kandahar
God Bless USA!!!! And US Military!!!
To us grunts swinging through Kandahar was like a vacation. You guys have a pretty sweet set up with salsa night, green bean coffee, internet and PX. Seriously though, you need to stop making it sound like those rockets are a threat. 🙄
Its a fucking joke! KAF is a 5star vacation resort in Afghanistan. He things he fought a war over there.

The Afghan Taliban was hiding under a rock lmao!
@@LaneMcCall They hid in the mountains because they did not have modern weapons like the Americans.
@@LaneMcCall America always fights weak countries and from there it always loses. Why not fight China because it is a strong country.
@@LaneMcCall The United States has been fighting superpowers for 20 years against those who had ak47s and rocket launchers.😝😝😝😝What a shame for the United States today that they have hammer cars and M4 rifles
