AFOSI officer

[Jworley98]

Are there any AFOSI officers on here. Or can someone let me know if officers get to go do invesigations in the field. I know they are managers but I emailed the air force and a recruiter said that they are in the field as much as the enlisted agents. Is he right?

He is not right, as an AFOSI officer, you'll be in the field for your first year on probation status, after that you'll find yourself confined to a desk in a leadership position unless you do a specialty like 9Q. It is possible to avoid the desk for awhile, but every officer's destiny is the desk. After your first approx 3 years, you can expect to be a detachment commander, which means no field work at all unless you go to a small 2/3 man det.

What is 9Q?

I'm not in AFOSI, nor even close... Though I will be in the AFROTC hoping to get a slot when I graduate...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 9Q is the counter-espionage investigations.
