Every Special Agent is a volunteer. They're members of a highly-trained team that 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 with counterintelligence support for its force protection mission. It's a job that involves excitement and opportunity and it could be for you. Eligible enlisted applicants include staff sergeants through master sergeants with outstanding records and fewer than 12 years of military service. Eligible officer applicants include lieutenants through to captain with less than 12 years total active federal military service and no more than 6 years total commissioned service. All new AFOSI special agent candidates attend training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Ga.

Both courses offer training in firearms and other weapons, defensive tactics, forensics, surveillance and surveillance detection, antiterrorism techniques, crime scene processing, interrogations and interviews, court testimony, and military and federal law.
