Looking for agents

The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is recruiting exceptional officers and noncommissioned officers for duty as special agents. If you are interested in a challenging and rewarding career as a member of the team that identifies, exploits and neutralizes criminal, terrorist and intelligence threats to the USAF, Department of Defense and U.S. Government, then duty as an AFOSI special agent may be right for you. AFOSI has approximately 2,000 federally credentialed special agents who have been conducting independent and unbiased investigations for the USAF since Aug. 1, 1948.

All new AFOSI special agent candidates will attend the Criminal Investigations Training Program and the AFOSI Basic Investigators Course at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia. After successfully completing nearly 20 weeks of training in criminal, fraud, counter-intelligence and anti-terrorism investigations, crime scene processing and firearms, special agents will be assigned to one of the 280 detachments worldwide.

Most special agents initially conduct investigations into general criminal areas involving crimes against persons, fraud and counterintelligence. Special agents with previous electronics experience or computer science backgrounds may be selected to specialize in computer “cyber” crime investigations or within the technical services division.

Senior Airmen with less than six years of time in service, staff sergeants through master sergeants with outstanding records and fewer than 12 years of military service are eligible. Senior Airmen must be in their cross training window – 35 to 43 months for four-year enlistees and 59 to 67 months for six-year enlistees. Members must have at least 18 months time-on-station, which is waiverable. Applicants should have more than 13 months remaining on their DEROS.

 Officer applicants must have less than 12 years Total Active Federal Military Service and less than six years Total Active Federal Commission Service to apply. The Air Force Personnel Center must agree to release officer applicants in order to apply.
