My subculture paper is going to be about my unit in the Air National Guard the 126th Security Forces Squadron. I believe the best topic that I can educate the reader is something that I am very familiar with, but also still learning about. As some may already know I am currently in the Air Force National Guard, I go one weekend a month for drill, and go on TDY ( temporary duty missions) a few times a year. I am a Airman First Class, which is the second lowest rank, so I am still learning about it too, which is why I decided to choose the 126th Security Forces as my subculture. In my paper I am going to explain the rank structure, the history of Security Forces, what we do, and why I joined. In doing this it will not just help educate you about the career field, it will also help me with my CDC ( career development course) testing that I need to rank up.
While doing the research for my paper I will be attending my drill weekends, and also interviewing a number of supervisors and hopefully interview our leadership. During our drill weekend we go to Scott Air Force Base and work for two days, while at drill we do everything from training, to going on patrol, working the flight line, working gate, or even be in the classroom all day. In our squadron we have approximately sixty SF personnel, the majority are Airman first classes, and Senior Airman. There are about twelve to fifteen supervisors, and five in our leadership. To get the proper information I will be interviewing the supervisors, they are the backbone of the squadron, without them the unit wouldn’t function. Also I am going to interview the fellow Airman, hopefully I will find out why most joined, and if we all share the common goals. In the event that I cannot interview the leadership I will talk to prior SF personnel to find out there likes and dislikes of the career field.
