you believe wrong

when you go int security forces, you are in security forces

2. now there are two other AFSC's that security forces can cross train into, starting thier 2nd enlistment

1. K9
2. combat arms instructor

combat arms - are firing range instructors -- they run the firing ranges and teach marksmanship

but again, both are something you can only do after you have reenlisted
