Joned in '72 and became a 20250 Comm Analyst (hated that).
Two years later I was declared excess to needs so happily retrained as an air traffic controller. My AFSC was 27200, but the AF's constantly changing ways converted it to 1C100.
The wing king at Holloman hired me to be his Air Show Director for the 2000 Air Show. I picked the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War as the theme, and our featured act was a chrome-shiny F-86 beating up on a oil-streaked MiG-15 over the 'drome. Barbara (a First Sergeant) did some research and found out I was the first enlisted guy to serve as an "Air Show Dude" -- her name for my job. 28 years, 4 months, & 4 days. I loved every minute as a 'troll.

It was 511x1 but then after a re-shuffle of numbers later designated 491x2 - Information Systems Specialist (Communications Computer Programmer). Later got my wings as an A49172. One of those system quirks that says a programmer can be in an airborne position, but not a computer operator. They needed an operator on board select EC-135's to "operate" a new system being introduced (back in '92). But since they couldn't have a real operator on flying status and an "A" prefix, they would settle for finding a couple of us programmers that were willing to do an operators job while flying. Yes please! So, I'm one of VERY FEW USAF career computer programmers with (aircrew member) wings.

Does that mean an OSI agent?

Is that a CID agent? A separate MP job?

Things have changed over the years (I've been out of the Army for over 40 years). US Army MOS designations for enlisted grades used to consist of a group of 3 codes. First two numbers indicate branch (11=Infantry, 95=Military Police, etc). Then a single letter to indicate specialty (11B=straight infantry, 11C=mortarman, 11F=infantry operations & intelligence, etc). This was followed by a skill level (10=basic, private or private first class; 20=corporal or spec4; 40=sergeant or staff sergeant, 50=senior NCO).
The 95BV5 MOS indicates Military Police Investigator (formerly known as Provost Marshal's Investigator). CID agents were under separate chain of command (USACIDC, not organic to specific localized units), had a different MOS designation, and when I was in the Army most (not all) CID agents were warrant officers, with some enlisted personnel so qualified.
My primary MOS was 11F4P (Infantry Operations & Intelligence, skill level 40, airborne).
Secondary MOS was 95B40 (Military Police, skill level 40), and later qualified as 95BV5 (Military Police Investigator).
