successful tour of duty in recruiting and at the recommendation of their
commanding officer or officer in charge. CRF personnel, Campus Liaison
Officers and Recruiting District Assistance Council members will be eligible

duty. CANREC and Active Duty for Special Work (ADSW) recruiting personnel
will also be eligible for the ribbon after completion of 3 consecutive
years of combined recruiting duty provided no break in service of more
than 60-days occurs during the period.

3 years of recruiting duty, a waiver request may be submitted, via
the
recruiting chain of command at the time of service, to Commander,
Naval Reserve Recruiting Command. Personnel who were fault transferred
