TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --  Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Detachment 303, will host a recruiting day Feb. 25 at 9 a.m., at the Airman and Family Readiness Center, room 156. We are seeking motivated personnel who would like to apply to become AFOSI special agents. 

AFOSI has been the Air Force's major investigative service since Aug. 1, 1948. The agency reports to the Inspector General, Office of the Secretary of the Air Force and provides professional investigative service to commanders of all Air Force activities. Its primary responsibilities are criminal investigations and counterintelligence services. 

AFOSI has four priorities: 

1. Detect and provide early warning of worldwide threats to the Air Force 

2. Identify and resolve crime impacting Air Force readiness or good order and discipline 

3. Combat threats to Air Force information systems and technologies 

4. Defeat and deter fraud in the acquisition of Air Force prioritized weapons systems
Enlisted Air Force members may apply for Special Agent duty once they have first served in another career field. Those eligible are master sergeants, technical sergeants and staff sergeants with fewer than 12 years of military service. In addition, senior airmen with fewer than six years of service will be considered as well as first term Airmen within their retraining window. The grade restrictions may be waived in special or unusual circumstances. 

Current active-duty Air Force officers may retrain into AFOSI from most Air Force career fields. Officer applicants may have no more than six years federal commissioned service, have no more than 12 years of total federal military service and must be released by their Air Force Personnel Center assignment team. Lieutenants subject to force shaping may be restricted from cross training into AFOSI. The agency is accepting very few cross-flow officers.
