Talking to a marine recruiter: ''And that's when i knew I wanted to join the Air Force..''

[@tygrallure6895]

😂😂😂

[@Ruizg559]

That Marine recruiter was looking out for you big time. You hear a lot of bad stuff about recruiters, but it's nice to hear about one who was actually looking at the bigger picture about the needs of the military as a whole instead of just his branch.

[@freedomcalling]

I’ve got to be honest...there was no way I was doing 4 pull-ups at that time. I was 6ft 3in and weight about 165. Skin and bones. I wouldn’t have made the cut back then.

That Marine recruiter lied to him about the Navy. I’m a Navy Veteran and you will not spend you entire career on a ship and their are some Navy jobs that will never go on a ship.

[@samd7476]

"Don't let your job define who you are." That hit me the hardest.

[@billbaggans1799]

OSI was founded Aug. 1, 1948, at the suggestion of Congress to consolidate investigative activities in the U.S. Air Force. Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington created OSI and patterned it after the FBI. He appointed Special Agent Joseph Carroll, an assistant to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, as the first OSI commander and charged him with providing independent, unbiased and centrally directed investigations of criminal activity in the Air Force. Interesting book about Carroll found himself in the Air Force as the 1st CO of OSI.

Awesome video and incredible interview. So awesome to learn about another job.

[@dereksmith6097]

I am a former AFOSI agent. I became a Turkish linguist and served in Turkey during desert storm. I loved AFOSI. I also served in Army CID and I became a Special Agent afterward. I was also an instructor at the AFOSI academy. I am not a private investigator. If you wonder what we do, watch NCIS. BTW, you can be a civilian agent in AFOSI also.

Few things changed from FLETC, they separated the police officer (UPTP) course from the criminal investigator course (CITP), they no longer call it “basic”, both of those courses are about 3 months long and if you are wondering, CITP is where the money is at.

[@freedomcalling]

Thanks for this comment. I had to think back. I also went through CITP and BSIC. I have a cert from CITP and BSIC. CITP was the the first course and then BSIC was the follow on.

[@hollypass7462]

You should make a video about the transition from doing rotc to then getting a job (if your on scholarship or if you decide to join after college)

[@andrewtrammell4175]

Heres a tip, shorter enlistment periods means more bonuses. C on pared to longer enlistment periods means you must wait longer to re enlist for a re enlistment bonus. Or if you choose a longer term you must wait longer to receive the rest of your initial enlistment bonus. So choosing a shorter term means you get your first bonus faster and that also means you can re-enlist and get your re-enlistment bonus faster. Its your choice regardless don't forget that

[@spreadlove124]

dude i appreciate you for this info, i was totally sure i’d do a 6 year contract since i’d be e3 and the pay increase would make it worth it so i hadn’t thought about it this way i think the 4 year sounds smarter now. is there any other advice you’d have? i’m 17 and pretty much just waiting to graduate highschool so i can go to bmt

How does Reserve OSI work? Are you full time Reserve? Do you assist an Active duty OSI unit on your weekend? Does OSI have a special duty assignments like volunteering for undercover work? When I was active duty I always thought being undercover OSI would be so cool.

[@aimes.e]

Thank you for this 🙏 I'd also like to see the job prospects for K9 handlers

[@aallenbrown360]

You have to start off as security forces first and cross train into K9. Good thing is you don't have to be in your cross train window to do it either. Just need to put in the work at the kennels and get a recommendation from the kennel master. Once you receive that have your supervisor put together your package and send it up. Then you just have to wait to see if you get accepted or not.

Wothanar depends what intel job you want. But they all fall under the Line score : General for the Air Force. Minimum is 52 and the highest is a 72. And qualify for security clearance.

[@anthonyprophet7754]

Tha Realest to qualify for operations intelligence is a score of 52 in the general aptitude area of the asvab. And for a linguist you need 72 in thee general area. There are other intel jobs that fall between those scores. I know because i have a list of jobs and the required aptitude score for each job in the Air Force from my recruiter

[@561REALTLK]

Not familiar with the ins and outs. So I`m curious is possible to come into OSI as an Officer? I`m asking because I see it on the website as career choice and I know it`s possible to come into the Air Force as an Officer.

[@freedomcalling]

Yes. It's possible. We have civilian, officer and enlisted agents.

[@ByronC900]

Maybe I missed it, but do you have a chance of getting this when you enlist, or is this only something you can crosstrain into?

[@johnsmith-qe2fd]

Crosstrain only, you need to be in at least 4 years and senior airman.

[@freedomcalling]

Enlisted airmen must have some time in service under their belt. Now days, you must be an E-5 to be considered. You also must be released from your current AFSC. OSI does not control this. Your primary AFSC functional manager must release you.

[@michaelfetters7389]

What’s the difference between an officer member and an enlisted member on the a.s.t teams?

[@freedomcalling]

Michael Fetters, when I was in, either a SNCO usually an E-7 or an officer usually at least an O-3 were in charge of the smaller AST teams. Now if I’m not mistaken, all team leaders are SNCOs and they answer to an officer at our headquarters. I deployed once with an officer agent but he was only filling in for an agent that was injured right before his deployment. When you have a sec, could you ask this question on the video on Kyle’s channel so everyone can see it? I think a lot of people would have the same question.

[@icemonkey780]

Do OSI agents where civilian clothes or military uniforms.

[@jamesahlmann2992]

[@fishrepairs6400]

Thats what I want to know too. Make sure to ask your recruiter

[@scylumgaming8136]

i am currently in college, but want to join the air force active duty and do college at the same time, is it a bad idea?

[@jayp4772]

Believe it or not that is actually encouraged. The Air Force wants you to make use of your time. When you get to your first duty station your supervision will want you to learn your job first, but when you are out of that initial training you should be filling your time with college. Can definitely say the Air Force strives for education and learning more than any other branch.

[@macburger5026]

Scylo also it's arguably more doable than with other branches. At least online college courses. I'm army myself and in the army, unless you get a really good job at a really good unit, you will have to go to the field and stay for weeks or longer. that would get in the way if you wanted to do college courses. Most people in the air force will either never go to the field (after basic0 or if they do its just for one or two days. Plus we have to do a few hours of mandatory group PT which makes our days even longer whereas air force more often allows their people to do PT on their own and only mandates group PT once in a while. So you would definitely get more time to complete college work (but again, it would be easier with online courses) than you would in the army or marines or navy. Even with online courses, a lot of us army soldiers still don't have the time to work on courses because of the things i mentioned.

[@Xpistos510]

It’s a great idea... if you’re a masochist. Just kidding. It’s both encouraged and rewarded by the military. But bear in mind that it’s difficult. Another option is enlisted in the Reserves or National Guard and go to college while serving part time. You can always go in as an -active duty officer when you have your degree.

[@Dndragon55]

I'm thinking of doing things or security forces I would want to do FBI when get out and this is about the same and I thought you can be an officer and get in right after

[@freedomcalling]

You can go straight into OSI as an officer, but it’s still competitive.

[@rds479]

Can you be a K9 handler and then go from Canaan to OSI or use your K9 skills in OSI

[@handyfoot7526]
