The actual "OSI" system in place with the Air Force is typically all civilian personnel (if I'm not mistaken).
They wear things like khakis and polo shirts. There are ways you can apply to become an OSI agent on the internet too.
As far as how the system works between the Air Force and OSI, I'm pretty sure it happens a couple different ways.
1) Airmen are recruited by OSI at some point after reporting to their first duty station, after tech school (to report anything unusual or suspicious)
which I'm assuming happens after either a lengthy background check, for security clearance, or to people already holding a top secret security
clearance.
2) OSI agents or agents from outside agencies recruited by OSI might be sent to tech school for training in a specific trade, then sent to their first
duty station, their OSI responsibilities in the background.
I've heard reports from ex co-workers of mine from my time in the Air Force that OSI is sometimes involved with cover-ups of UFO sightings too. The
UFO sighting I'm talking about happened in 1995 overseas, I won't say where. But the guy who say it explained it as a reddish/orange triangle
shaped craft. Agents, which he said were OSI, made him file a complete report of what he saw and sign a non-disclosure statement... He later found
out they did this for each indidual involved with the sighting.
I guess my point is that whether or not these "men in black" guys are really OSI, CID, whatever, they do exist and are well documented. Not only
from witness testimony from around the world but people I knew personally. This isn't the only time I heard of them either from my time in the
Military.
