VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Detachment 804, is scheduled to host a recruitment drive at the Vandenberg Center at 2 p.m. Aug. 19.
This summer's recruitment drive is specifically targeting Airmen, ranks senior airman (E-4) through technical sergeant (E-6), who are interested in becoming criminal investigators.
"We are taking more of a proactive approach to reach out to eligible military members who are interested in a career field that is rewarding, and of service to the United States Air Force," said Special Agent Nelson Roman, Detachment 804 superintendent.
The recruitment drive will begin with an introductory speech presented by Detachment 804's acting commander, Special Agent (Maj.) Marnie Buchanan.
"OSI detachments are encouraged to do their own recruiting to serve the purpose of feeding the career field for the future," said Agent Buchanan. "We are looking for the best Airmen out there. We want motivated, mature, adventurous and physically fit people."
Candidates who retrain into the OSI career field come from a variety of different Air Force career fields.
"One of the reasons why we are so strong (as a federal law enforcement agency) is because of our diversity," Agent Roman said.
Special agents from Detachment 804 will discuss various aspects of the OSI career field as well as the overall recruitment process during the event's information session.
