AFOSI seeks new special agents

  • Published
MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan --  Military members looking to cross train into a challenging and rewarding career field should look no further than becoming a special agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. 

Headquarters AFOSI recruiters will conduct the briefing in the Shogun Conference Room in the collocated club at 8 a.m. Aug. 1 here. People who are deemed eligible from the briefing will be scheduled for an interview Aug. 2. Interested individuals need to bring a Records Review RIP with them to the briefing. A RIP can be requested from unit orderly rooms. 

Every special agent is a volunteer. They're members of a highly-trained team who investigate crimes against persons and property, defeat and deter base-level and contract fraud, combat threats to our information systems and technologies and provide the Air Force counterintelligence support for its force protection mission. It's a job that involves excitement and opportunity and it could be for you. Civilian spouses are encouraged to attend. 

Senior airmen with less than six years time in service, staff sergeants through master sergeants with outstanding records and fewer than 12 years of military service are eligible. Security forces members in the grades of staff sergeant select through master sergeant are eligible. Senior airmen must be in their cross training window -- 35-43 month for four-year enlistees and 59-67 month for six-year enlistees. Members must have at least 18 months time-on-station, which is waiverable. 

Officers must have less than 12 years Total Active Federal Military Service and less than six years Total Active Federal Commission Service to apply. AFPC must agree to release officer applicants in order to apply. More information can be found at

Applicants with foreign language, computer and technical skills are among those highly sought after by the AFOSI.
