That Marine recruiter was looking out for you big time. You hear a lot of bad stuff about recruiters, but it's nice to hear about one who was actually looking at the bigger picture about the needs of the military as a whole instead of just his branch.

That Marine recruiter lied to him about the Navy. I’m a Navy Veteran and you will not spend you entire career on a ship and their are some Navy jobs that will never go on a ship.

"Don't let your job define who you are." That hit me the hardest.

I am a former AFOSI agent. I became a Turkish linguist and served in Turkey during desert storm. I loved AFOSI. I also served in Army CID and I became a Special Agent afterward. I was also an instructor at the AFOSI academy. I am not a private investigator. If you wonder what we do, watch NCIS. BTW, you can be a civilian agent in AFOSI also.

One of the most diverse and interesting career fields in the Air Force

OSI was founded Aug. 1, 1948, at the suggestion of Congress to consolidate investigative activities in the U.S. Air Force. Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington created OSI and patterned it after the FBI. He appointed Special Agent Joseph Carroll, an assistant to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, as the first OSI commander and charged him with providing independent, unbiased and centrally directed investigations of criminal activity in the Air Force. Interesting book about Carroll found himself in the Air Force as the 1st CO of OSI.

Few things changed from FLETC, they separated the police officer (UPTP) course from the criminal investigator course (CITP), they no longer call it “basic”, both of those courses are about 3 months long and if you are wondering, CITP is where the money is at.

Heres a tip, shorter enlistment periods means more bonuses. C on pared to longer enlistment periods means you must wait longer to re enlist for a re enlistment bonus. Or if you choose a longer term you must wait longer to receive the rest of your initial enlistment bonus. So choosing a shorter term means you get your first bonus faster and that also means you can re-enlist and get your re-enlistment bonus faster. Its your choice regardless don't forget that

Awesome interview , I have some experience with that career field back in the day. Glenco is so much better as a training location than Artesia. Thanks again for the video.

I was asked to join the OSI in 1985, unfortunately I turned it down , have regretted that decision for over 30 years.

I spent 10 years in the air force and loved it. Always wanted to be a part of osi.

this was very helpful. I'm former army infantry. This was one of two jobs that attracted me. As a prior service officer, i was wondering what my options would be as a capt?

I might actually crosstrain into this. Always wanted to do law enforcement but couldn't do so because I was too young, so I joined the Air Force. But this sounds like a really good AFSC to crosstrain into.

Hey I did 4 years of Power Pro! Always also thought OSI was pretty neat. I remember my same briefing at my first base seeing the OSI guy in civies.

You have to start off as security forces first and cross train into K9. Good thing is you don't have to be in your cross train window to do it either. Just need to put in the work at the kennels and get a recommendation from the kennel master. Once you receive that have your supervisor put together your package and send it up. Then you just have to wait to see if you get accepted or not.

Believe it or not that is actually encouraged. The Air Force wants you to make use of your time. When you get to your first duty station your supervision will want you to learn your job first, but when you are out of that initial training you should be filling your time with college. Can definitely say the Air Force strives for education and learning more than any other branch.

@macburger5026

5 жыл бұрын

Scylo also it's arguably more doable than with other branches. At least online college courses. I'm army myself and in the army, unless you get a really good job at a really good unit, you will have to go to the field and stay for weeks or longer. that would get in the way if you wanted to do college courses. Most people in the air force will either never go to the field (after basic0 or if they do its just for one or two days. Plus we have to do a few hours of mandatory group PT which makes our days even longer whereas air force more often allows their people to do PT on their own and only mandates group PT once in a while. So you would definitely get more time to complete college work (but again, it would be easier with online courses) than you would in the army or marines or navy. Even with online courses, a lot of us army soldiers still don't have the time to work on courses because of the things i mentioned.

It’s a great idea... if you’re a masochist. Just kidding. It’s both encouraged and rewarded by the military. But bear in mind that it’s difficult. Another option is enlisted in the Reserves or National Guard and go to college while serving part time. You can always go in as an -active duty officer when you have your degree.

All the specialties within OSI have to do with criminal investigations, counterintelligence and protection of assets.

These are just some of the specialties but being a medic would not be a specialty within OSI.
