If you grew up pondering the wonders of outer space and have an interest in military service, don't rule out an opportunity with the Unites States Space Force. In 2019, the Space Force became the newest branch of the United States military and the first one established since 1947. Its mission is to oversee and protect global space operations.\n\nIs it hard to join Space Force? Basic Training\n\nBoot camp for the Space Force won't be a walk in the park, but it will be easier than becoming a Marine. The Space Force fosters an atmosphere of acceptance right from the start. In fact, you'll be referred to as a U.S. Space Force Guardian from the moment you step off the bus at your training site. From there, you'll have a combination of classroom study and hands-on fieldwork.\n\nSpace Force Guardians attend the same basic training as those who enlist with the United States Air Force. However, you will also be required to complete the additional Space Force curriculum, which includes a course on emotional intelligence, the structure of the Space Force, and other military-specific doctrines.\n\nWeeks One and Two\n\nYou'll be given an agenda for the entire training program in your first week of basic training. As a Guardian, you'll also learn how military ranking works and familiarize yourself with the customs of the military. All new recruits will also undergo a physical assessment to determine their serving ability. Of course it's no surprise that Space Force's programming is heavy on physical exercise. You'll be required to attend a nutrition brief, too. After that, you'll receive your immunizations and do drills.\n\nIn week two, the drill training will intensify with weapons handling and maintenance lessons. You'll also take a self-guided military history course and learn wingman responsibilities.\n\nWeeks Three through Six\n\nWeek three is full of activities. Future Guardians will continue to have early morning physical training sessions. On top of that, this is when you'll finally be issued your military clothing. You'll learn weapons mechanic applications and some tactical movements. Then, you'll take courses in financial readiness, suicide awareness, and airman integrity.\n\nBy the time you get to week four, you'll have made it halfway through basic training. You'll continue having your drills and building weapons mechanic skills. You also begin to study the law of war and engage in fight commander team building.\n\nYour drill sergeants will pick up the pace a bit in week five. This is where you'll really begin being tested as a future Guardian. You'll go through combat simulation and take training in national security. In this week, you'll also take a foundational expeditionary skills test.\n\nWeek six will be the most trying week for all new recruits. In fact, it's so intense that the U.S. Air Force refers to it as BEAST week. That stands for Basic Expeditionary Airmen Skills Training. You'll have to go through a simulated deployment and utilize all the combat techniques you will have learned in the weeks prior.\n\nGraduation\n\nThough training is similar to the Air Force, Space Force Guardians must complete 35 additional course hours. You'll have to answer questions such as \"What is a solar flare?\" and \"Where does Lower Earth Orbit being?\" As a new Guardian, you'll learn about global threats in space and the numerous satellites under the Space Force's control. Like basic training in other branches, you'll participate in a graduation ceremony to which you can invite your closest family members.\n\n\t\t\t\t\tAirman 1st Class Dianne Rivera, left, poses for a selfie with husband, Yan, following her Basic Military Training graduation at Joint-Base San Antonio. (Courtesy photo provided by Airman 1st Class Dianne Rivera)\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\nWhat Happens after Space Force Graduation?\n\nAfter graduation, Guardians will go on to their first duty installations. You'll likely get some home leave. Sometimes you might have to report to your next base immediately. Each situation is different. Space Force jobs are vast and varied – just like the lands Guardians protect!\n\nThe Space Force identifies qualified troops as either 'organic' or 'common' Specialty Air Force Career Code (AFSC) holders, and offers a third category for those who cover both Air Force and Space Forces operations organic roles\n\nOfficer candidates for the Space Force must be ready to commit, literally. After attending Officer Candidate School and completing technical training, they can expect rigorous security clearance screenings and on-the-job learning experiences as part of their readiness qualifications.\n\nWith no Warrant Officers in our new military branch yet, those seeking transfers should prepare themselves for commissions instead. As mission requirements evolve, so does the list of available opportunities. Don't miss your chance to make a mark in space.\n\nIssues with Branch Transfers\n\nThe Space Force may retain Airmen who have requested an honorable release from service, as long as the voluntary date separation does not apply. Those whose departure has been involuntary will remain exempt from this requirement.\n\nAs with other branches, civilians are eligible to work for the Space Force. Most are considered Department of Air Force employees. Government job recruiting boards might not list many open positions. It's best to speak with an Assignments Manager or Personnel staff member to find out more."},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/military-life/how-to-join-the-space-force-guardian/","url":"https://www.wearethemighty.com/military-life/how-to-join-the-space-force-guardian/","name":"How do you become a guardian in the Space Force?

skip">Want to know how to join the Space Force and become a Guardian? If you grew up pondering the wonders of outer space and have an interest in military service, don’t rule out an opportunity with the Unites States Space Force. In 2019, the Space Force became the newest branch of the United States military and the first one established since 1947. Its mission is to oversee and protect global space operations.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-it-hard-to-join-space-force-basic-training">Is it hard to join Space Force? Basic Training</h2> <p class="article-paragraph skip"><a href="https://www.spaceforce.mil/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Boot camp for the Space Force</a> won’t be a walk in the park, but it will be easier than becoming a Marine. The Space Force fosters an atmosphere of acceptance right from the start. In fact, you’ll be referred to as a U.S. Space Force Guardian from the moment you step off the bus at your training site. From there, you’ll have a combination of classroom study and hands-on fieldwork.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Space Force Guardians attend the same basic training as those who enlist with the United States Air Force. However, you will also be required to complete the additional Space Force curriculum, which includes a course on emotional intelligence, the structure of the Space Force, and other military-specific doctrines.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-weeks-one-and-two">Weeks One and Two</h2> <p class="article-paragraph skip">You’ll be given an agenda for the entire training program in your first week of basic training. As a Guardian, you’ll also learn how military ranking works and familiarize yourself with the customs of the military. All new recruits will also undergo a physical assessment to determine their serving ability. Of course it’s no surprise that Space Force’s programming is heavy on physical exercise. You’ll be required to attend a nutrition brief, too. After that, you’ll receive your immunizations and do drills.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">In week two, the drill training will intensify with weapons handling and maintenance lessons. You’ll also take a self-guided military history course and learn wingman responsibilities.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-weeks-three-through-six">Weeks Three through Six</h2> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Week three is full of activities. Future Guardians will continue to have early morning physical training sessions. On top of that, this is when you’ll finally be issued your military clothing. You’ll learn weapons mechanic applications and some tactical movements. Then, you’ll take courses in financial readiness, suicide awareness, and airman integrity.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">By the time you get to week four, you’ll have made it halfway through basic training. You’ll continue having your drills and building weapons mechanic skills. You also begin to study the law of war and engage in fight commander team building.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Your drill sergeants will pick up the pace a bit in week five. This is where you’ll really begin being tested as a future Guardian. You’ll go through combat simulation and take training in national security. In this week, you’ll also take a foundational expeditionary skills test.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Week six will be the most trying week for all new recruits. In fact, it’s so intense that the U.S. Air Force refers to it as BEAST week. That stands for Basic Expeditionary Airmen Skills Training. You’ll have to go through a simulated deployment and utilize all the combat techniques you will have learned in the weeks prior.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-graduation">Graduation</h2> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Though training is similar to the Air Force, <a href="https://www.wearethemighty.com/mighty-culture/space-force-uniform/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Space Force Guardians</a> must complete 35 additional course hours. You’ll have to answer questions such as “What is a solar flare?” and “Where does Lower Earth Orbit being?” As a new Guardian, you’ll learn about global threats in space and the numerous satellites under the Space Force’s control. Like basic training in other branches, you’ll participate in a graduation ceremony to which you can invite your closest family members.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img width="2560" height="1920" loading="lazy" src="https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?strip=all&quality=85" alt="space force graduation" class="wp-image-130400" srcset="https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=300&h=225 300w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=768&h=576 768w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=1024&h=768 1024w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=1536&h=1152 1536w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=2048&h=1536 2048w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=600&h=450 600w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=267&h=200 267w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=880&h=660 880w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=533&h=400 533w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=1115&h=836 1115w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=920&h=690 920w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=288&h=216 288w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=539&h=404 539w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=1192&h=894 1192w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=1003&h=752 1003w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=925&h=694 925w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=280&h=210 280w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=1440&h=1080 1440w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=289&h=217 289w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=370&h=278 370w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=308&h=231 308w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=50&h=38 50w, https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/27/7810169-scaled.jpg?w=150&h=113 150w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /> <figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Airman 1st Class Dianne Rivera, left, poses for a selfie with husband, Yan, following her Basic Military Training graduation at Joint-Base San Antonio. (Courtesy photo provided by Airman 1st Class Dianne Rivera)</figcaption> </figure> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-happens-after-space-force-graduation">What Happens after Space Force Graduation?</h2> <p class="article-paragraph skip">After graduation, Guardians will go on to their first duty installations. You’ll likely get some home leave. Sometimes you might have to report to your next base immediately. Each situation is different. Space Force jobs are vast and varied – just like the lands Guardians protect!</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">The Space Force identifies qualified troops as either ‘organic’ or ‘common’ Specialty Air Force Career Code (AFSC) holders, and offers a third category for those who cover both Air Force and Space Forces operations organic roles</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">Officer candidates for the Space Force must be ready to commit, literally. After attending Officer Candidate School and completing technical training, they can expect rigorous security clearance screenings and on-the-job learning experiences as part of their readiness qualifications.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">With no Warrant Officers in our new military branch yet, those seeking transfers should prepare themselves for commissions instead. As mission requirements evolve, so does the list of available opportunities. Don’t miss your chance to make a mark in space.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-issues-with-branch-transfers">Issues with Branch Transfers</h2> <p class="article-paragraph skip">The Space Force may retain Airmen who have requested an honorable release from service, as long as the voluntary date separation does not apply. Those whose departure has been involuntary will remain exempt from this requirement.</p> <p class="article-paragraph skip">As with other branches, civilians are eligible to work for the Space Force.
