The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is looking to turn some staff or technical sergeants currently serving in the Air Force Reserve or airmen who plan to leave active duty for the Reserve into special agents. There is school work involved—11 weeks at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, followed by eight weeks at the Air Force Special Investigations Academy, both in Glynco, Ga.
The Air Force is requesting about $141 million for initial enlistment bonuses in its fiscal 2026 budget, while Space Force wants $13 million.
