Draft for recruiting use — several requirements pending Government confirmation (arming authority, RUF, coverage hours). Verify before posting externally.

The Armed Security Officer provides a visible, armed deterrent presence at Building 1623 during non-business hours, protecting a leased, cleared Government facility. Officers control facility access and integrity, detect and report anomalies, respond to alarm activations, and summon appropriate authority — the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) and 688 CW Facility Security Personnel. This is an observe-and-report and deterrent role, not a law-enforcement role : officers do not conduct pursuit, apprehension, arrest, or offensive engagement. Weapons are carried for deterrence and the officer's personal protection under a restrictive, defensive use-of-force policy.

• Staff a fixed post or conduct roving interior/exterior patrol during assigned non-business-hours shifts.
• Conduct a documented exterior perimeter check not to exceed every three hours; report deficiencies to 688 CW Security.
• Spin the OX-style lock dials at the start of each shift and promptly report any lock problems.
• Respond to alarm activations, inspect for evidence of forced entry, and stand by at the front entry until formally released.
• On any clear or apparent sign of breach, immediately notify SAPD , remain on site, and stay until SAPD and 688 CW Facility Security Personnel are fully debriefed and the officer is released.
• Complete formal alarm and shift-turnover reports; maintain accurate logs of responses and building checks.
• Draw and return the assigned weapon at the SandTech office under documented chain-of-custody procedures each shift.
• Maintain firearms qualification and complete all required training.

• U.S. citizenship , with proof provided to the Security Office before performance (Government-verified).
• Active U.S. SECRET clearance , adjudicated before award and submittable via DISS to 688 CW/SO.
• Able to read, write, speak, and understand English.
• Not a current U.S. Air Force employee (military or civilian) absent prior written approval; no conflict-of-interest employment.
• Eligible to possess and carry a firearm under all applicable state and federal law; no disqualifying criminal history.

• Texas commissioned security officer license — Level III (commissioned/armed) baseline; Level IV (personal protection officer) if the role is scoped that way. [Pending arming-authority confirmation.]
• Current firearms qualification; willingness to requalify on SandTech's schedule (annual or semi-annual).
• Valid Texas driver's license and clean driving record (for vehicle-based roving, if applicable).

• Availability for non-business-hours shifts: weeknights, full weekends (1730 Fri–0600 Mon), Federal Holidays, and Family Days.
• Physically able to conduct 3-hour perimeter patrols and stand/rove a post for a full shift in variable weather.
• Neat, clean, professional appearance at all times.

• Demonstrated sound judgment operating under a restrictive, defensive rules-for-the-use-of-force framework.
• De-escalation skills and a deter-detect-report disposition; no pursuit/apprehension mindset.
• Reliable, accurate report writing and log-keeping.

• Prior military Security Forces, DoD/contract armed guard, or law-enforcement background — frequently carries clearance and armed qualification together.
• Experience at a cleared / ICD 705 facility.
• Current, transferable SECRET (or higher) clearance to minimize pre-award sourcing time.
• First aid / CPR / AED certification.

Scoring key: 5 = fully meets/exceeds, 3 = adequate, 1 = marginal. Weighted = (Score ÷ 5) × Weight. Prioritize candidates who clear Gate 2 with a current, transferable clearance — they most directly de-risk the pre-award staffing timeline.

The intersection of SECRET-cleared, armed-qualified, and schedule-willing is a thin labor pool. Prioritize already-cleared, already-armed candidates — transitioning military Security Forces, veterans with active clearances, and retired/off-duty law enforcement in the San Antonio / JBSA area — because the pre-award adjudication requirement makes sponsoring new investigations impractical on the target start timeline.
