"Secure" means something different in each branch. I was Navy and the description of how they secure something is accurate. The coast guard would probably do the same thing as the navy.
Yeah, I don't totally get that either but the Air Force is a different animal...more like a 9 to 5 job, really nice facilities, golf courses,etc. We always called them the chair force. If we had our hands in our pockets, we would be told to take off those Air Force gloves. They seemed to be less military than the other branches of the military.
From the comments:
When you ask the Army to secure a building, they bar the windows, block the exists, and set up an armed guard post.
When you ask the Navy to secure a building, the mop the floors, empty the coffee pots and turn off the lights.
When you ask the Marines to secure a building, they take a platoon to breach it and fortify the position against assault.
When you ask the Air Force to secure a building, they take out a lease with an option to buy.”

Not a military brat--aside from interservice rivalry, what makes the Navy and Air Force so incompetent here?
One wonders what the Coast Guard would do.

That just makes the Air Force line even MORE confusing. They get into real estate?
