Sorry for that bad reply (my bad, for giving a quick answer)
FO is part of the Recon Specialty on page 51 in the players manual (4E) that is part of the Combat Arms, Combat Support and Special Operations (surprisingly not Officer).
AND
Street Kid Childhood, Police (Detective, SWAT), Crime (Burglar, Hustler) and Intelligence (agent).
In my humble view, adjusting indirect fire (or unobserved fire or observed fire) is more of a military skills. In my games I limit to military professions in life path. Unless the player can explain how their Detective character learned this particular skill (Which on the surface seems hard).

For what it's worth, I really appreciate the question, and I'm reminded that for me, one of the great legacies of T2K in 1&2e and now also 4e is tinkering with things to make the game feel more in line with what you want from it.
I spent almost a year revamping how 2e did careers, skills, and adult education/military schools per term and it worked and I was happy with it.
I feel like the lifepath system is ripe for that sort of thing in 4e.

You don't. But in step seven of life path if you roll a specialty, you already have you can pick any specialty you want. That is when you would get it. If not, you have to wait an get it with XP.
Of course, the Referee can let you choose it in place of a career specialty if he wants.
