The special investigations career field is not entry-level; in other words, you cannot become a Special Investigations Agent when you first join the Air Force.
Enlisted Air Force members may apply for special agent duty once they've first served in another career field. Those eligible are master sergeants, technical sergeants, and staff sergeants with fewer than 12 years of military service, Senior airmen with fewer than six years of service, and senior airmen-selects. All applicants must have outstanding performance and disciplinary records.
The Air Force Office of Special Investigations hires special agents from the ranks of active duty and reserve personnel as well as civilians. No prior law enforcement experience is required, but candidates must have a minimum of a bachelor's degree with an accumulative GPA of 2.95 or higher. Preference is given to those candidates who either have prior relevant work experience or who hold an advanced degree.
Realistically, how long would it take me to be considered applicable and or worthy? Also, what's the commitment timeline and training pipeline (how long are both)?
Having a bachelor’s degree is incorrect information. It is not necessary if you are enlisted and retraining into the career field. It is only necessary if you are a civilian looking to join OSI. I am in the process now.
@@DuhJuan Thats nice to know. Some part of me figured I'd do special reconnaissance first, but I'm not sure of it, and they say never join SF if you're not sure.

OSI Additional
Hiring Information
OSI requires new entry-level civilians to have a bachelor's degree with a cumulative GPA 2.95 or higher or qualifying specialized experience. Applicants for journeyman positions can qualify based on their specialized experience as an agent. Entry level vacancies are normally at the GL-7 level, but can be higher for applicants with an advanced degree (GL-9 for master’s, GS-11 for a PhD). Journeymen (experienced) level vacancies start at GS 13.
Selection Process
First, a human resources specialist reviews all applications for completeness and minimum qualifications. Next, all
qualifying applications are evaluated, scored, and rank-ordered by a Review Board comprised of OSI special agents. From those applicants, some or all may be referred for interviews. The names of the highest-ranking applicants are provided to the OSI Executive Director who approves the list. The applicants who are selected are notified that he or she has been identified for further evaluation, and must undergo and pass a pre-employment medical examination. If the medical examination is favorable, the applicant must undergo a pre-employment suitability investigation. After successful completion of the suitability investigation, employment related documents (e.g., condition of employment agreements, etc.) are sent to the selectee for completion and an enter-on-duty date is established. The locations are determined by the needs of the Air Force.
How would i go about shadowing an OSI agent.
contact them.
You can’t shadow unless you are awaiting a class date. I am in the process of retraining to them now. I tried to shadow, they said no because of that reason. So they were down to talk to me in person and inform me on the job and how to get in.
