How is active duty life as an OSI special agent?

I recently stumbled across the career field of special investigations as I was seeking a way to merge my desire to become a military officer with my love for criminal justice. I was hoping somehow could briefly describe the life of an active duty OSI agent. How hard is it to get into? What is the training like? What is the current ops tempo? Also is this a career you can come into directly out of OTS or ROTC. I'm currently a police officer and will be nearing completion of my bachelors degree as my contract in the TXARNG ends. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

I can't speak to the Air Force OSI program. But the Army has CID, you could join as a CID agent and then later become a CID warrant officer in that field.

Too late. By writing this you've told the world that you want to be one, which puts you on the radar, which makes it so you can't be one.
