osi man they're everywhere

The best place to get your answers is to contact your local OSI office. They will be more than happy to answer all of your questions. Good luck.

where would be the best place to

1. find a local OSI office

2. what OSI offices are accepting what ranks

3. how long do you have to be in to reclass into OSI

Any base should have an OSI agent...somewhere... Push the request to speak with one up the chain and they should be able to help you out. If that fails then OSI has a website somewhere with a POC for questions.

Normally to apply is SSgt and above agian contact them to be sure.

Same reclass rules apply for this or any other cross train, contact MPF but if they are special an OSI agent should know or get you in touch with the right people.

Q: I'm colorblind. Am I an eligible candidate?

A: it depends on the level of impairment. Per AFOSII 26-2101, A8.2.1.11, applicants must be able to distinguish primary colors as determined by an optometrist administering a standard color vision exam. The main reason for this requirement is the result of an agent's need to be able to provide flawless, unbiased testimony in a court of law (e.g., defense question -- "you said you thought the car was red, but don't you have issues distinguishing red/green colors?"). HQ AFOSI can review AF FM 422s with documented levels of impairment prior to application (highly encouraged).

Q: I currently have a Top Secret clearance. Does this make me more competitive?

A: No, not in your selection. If an applicant is selected by the board, HQ AFOSI will initiate a suitability investigation (formerly known as a background investigation) for the approved member. If the suitability investigation is approved by the Command Applicant Review Board, the investigation will be forwarded to the Air Force Central Adjudication Facility to establish/renew a Top Secret clearance.
