In popular culture the 71S Special Investigations (CSI for the Air Force!): In the 2008 film Eagle Eye, actress Rosario Dawson played AFOSI Special Agent Zoe Perez. In the 2013 film Mirage Men, Richard Doty, a retired OSI special agent, played himself in a documentary about the AFOSI investigation into UFOs between 1952 and 1969. In the seventh episode of Season 8 in the 1997 television series Stargate SG-1, SG-1 team member Teal'c has been given permission to live off-base by the OSI in general, but is subsequently investigated by AFOSI officer 'Colonel Kendrick' for stopping or otherwise becoming involved with crimes in his neighbourhood. In the first episode of Season 2 in the 2013 television series The Americans, KGB Agents Phillip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) and Emmett Connors posed as "United States Air Force Security Forces" and wore OSI badges.
Been loving your videos so far. A great aid when it comes to looking for federal jobs. If you can find the time, a video on Capitol Police would be great.
Thank God I found your channel. Great insight into the pay scale and special agent positions throughout the federal government. I just finished by BS Degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration Homeland Security a couple of months ago. I'm thinking of going to Army or Air Force so I can have a bit edge when it comes to getting hired. A couple of local police departments are offering high 50K to 60K pay so I will keep my eyes open to any Police Officer or Special Agent positions if I qualify. I believe a GS5 or 6 is the starting point. I applied for FEMA Police Officer let's see if I get call. Thank You for your videos.
I was an 1810 special agent in the Federal Investigative Services in OPM before it was returned to DOD from where it originally came. Conducted personnel background investigations primarily. Also counterintelligence investigations related to government employment and sometimes also internal affairs investigations of employee misconduct. The agency is now called the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency.
Honestly, you may want to consider posting your videos over on reddit (specifically r/usajobs and r/protectandserve) to reach a more targeted audience. Not too many people go this in-depth on federal LEO agencies like you do, especially the lesser known ones like OSI. A lot of your material seems to be geared towards military agencies. I'd like to hear your take on more civilian side agencies like DSS, FBI, and others in that realm. Maybe take a look at the agencies that could see the most travel? I might consider some of the IT (my current industry) positions available, but this is still interesting nonetheless!
I appreciate your feedback and comments. I will also do some research about those other 1811 positions. Thanks for all the advice, and esp about the Reddit subs, I will check them out for sure.
I have two degrees, one in accounting and finance. Is that good to get in or is it usually based off of AFOQT score? Considering going in as an officer
Hi Andrew, OSI IMO is better than CID for the fact that there are more opportunities to gain entry into the career field. OSI has commissioned officers, which are better paid than Warrant Officers. OSI also has more civilian GS-1811 SA's than CID. If I had a choice between the two, I would choose OSI.
Senior airmen, sorry don’t know to much about rank structure in the air force, but for 4 year contracts it’s between the 35th month, and 43rd month of your contract is when you can apply, 6 year contracts are similar but 52nd month and 63rd month. Good luck!
I hope I can’t I get into OSI after my first contract. Do you think having a degree in criminal justice or anything similar will help when doing the process to get in?

What did you mean when you said poly was bad?

Thank you for this video! Where can I find the medical requirements? Having trouble trying to find them online.
Very informative. Thanks.
Can you do Federal protective service 1811 special agent
If you collect social security can you do this kinda work
Does Civilian OSI’s applicants require to take written tests?
Would you be able to review the best federal roles for persons with an engineering degree (or technical undergrad) and MBAs?
Thanks for the comment. I will do some research and post the info as requested.
Does osi deploy overseas.
Yes
I have two degrees, one in accounting and finance. Is that good to get in or is it usually based off of AFOQT score? Considering going in as an officer
Great video! How similar or different is Army CID compared to Airforce OSI?
Hi Andrew, OSI IMO is better than CID for the fact that there are more opportunities to gain entry into the career field. OSI has commissioned officers, which are better paid than Warrant Officers. OSI also has more civilian GS-1811 SA's than CID. If I had a choice between the two, I would choose OSI.
Does osi deploy overseas?
All over the world
So E-5 is required to be OSI
Senior airmen, sorry don’t know to much about rank structure in the air force, but for 4 year contracts it’s between the 35th month, and 43rd month of your contract is when you can apply, 6 year contracts are similar but 52nd month and 63rd month. Good luck!
Let me also add, they require ALS (Airman Leadership School)
100 different I investigation divisions in the United States Air Force Base McCord Air Force Base Tacoma Washington
Love the video but OSI coming in brand new have to 100% polygraph
How do you know
I hope I can’t I get into OSI after my first contract. Do you think having a degree in criminal justice or anything similar will help when doing the process to get in?
Yes
