Force Recruiter Ribbon:
On 21 Jun 00, the Secretary
of the Air Force established
the Air Force Recruiter
Ribbon to recognize
those officer and enlisted
personnel who perform
the challenging duty
of Air Force recruiting.
The ribbon was designed
to acknowledge past,
present, and future
Air Force recruiters
who display the extraordinary
commitment and dedication
required to perform
this important function.
For eligible personnel,
the Air Force Recruiter
Ribbon is valued at
two WAPS points. The
ribbon criteria for
active duty, reserve,
and guard personnel
are as follows: - Individuals
will be authorized to
wear the Air Force Recruiter
Ribbon on a temporary
basis while performing
recruiting duty immediately
upon graduation from
Air Force Recruiting
School. - Wear of the
Air Force Recruiter
Ribbon will become permanent
after successful completion
of 36 months of duty
as an Air Force Recruiter.
The Air Force Recruiting
School Commander (AFRS/CC)
may waive the minimum
qualifying tour length
if an individual cannot
complete the tour for
a valid reason. - Each
additional 3 years of
assignment as an 8R000
(enlisted recruiter
special duty identifier)
or 83R0 (officer special
duty identifier) entitles
the member to an oak
leaf cluster. - The
authorization to wear
the ribbon is retroactive
for any individual who
has successfully completed
36 months of duty as
an Air Force recruiter
and is currently on
active duty or a member
of a reserve component
as of the establishment
date of 21 June 2000.
- The AFRS/CC may withdraw
authorization to wear
the ribbon for those
