What are some special duty assignments for a SSG that are not really common place?
The qualifications are fairly high and the application process is a pain but this turned out to be the best assignment of my 27 year career:

SSG Paga,
CID is not MOS dependent, although they do like you to have some type of LE or MP background it is not mandatory, in fact when there was a big push on about 5-10 years ago if you got accepted and while waiting for a school date/slot, they would OJT you with an MP unit for about 6 months and a current Agent for 6-12 months, the school dates on average would take 12-18 months to get while they completed your background, interviews, clearances, etc.
I did it for awhile when we were down from drug missions in the early to mid-90s, I enjoyed it, but I didn't like all the paperwork and office time, I was also still all gung-ho for the adrenaline action as well at that time, was still in my mid to late 20s.
