A more vital enlisted profession does not exist in the United States Air Force. It's a tough, tremendously challenging, satisfying and rewarding job. Only the top personnel from a variety of career fields are selected for recruiting duty. The ideal volunteer or candidate is an Air Force member who is sincerely motivated to be a recruiter and is willing to accept any geographical area. However, we know many applicants are motivated primarily by a desire to serve in a specific geographical area or by dissatisfaction with the area where they presently serve.
Geographical preferences are the first criteria used in trying to make initial assignment matches.
Follow-on assignments in recruiting will be made to volunteers when possible. If there are no suitable volunteers the most eligible non-volunteer will be chosen as other Air Force assignment selections are made. Under the Recruiter Extension Program , recruiters have the option to extend for 1 year at a time. Although stability is one of the most attractive features of recruiting duty, there are associated constraints. Once placed in a stabilized status, individuals normally remain in that status until completion of the entire tour.
