Air Force Recruiter Ribbon

The Air Force Recruiter Ribbon is the most recent of the Recruiting Service Ribbons to have been created and was established by order of the Secretary of the Air Force on June 21, 2000. It is worth 2 points in the Weighted Airmen Promotion System.

Personnel graduating from the Air Force Recruiting School may wear the Air Force Recruiter Ribbon immediately provided that the service member is presently serving in a United States Air Force Command. After thirty six months of recruiting duty the award may be awarded permanently providing the service member's tour as a recruiter as been free of disciplinary action.

Additional awards of the Air Force Recruiter Ribbon are denoted by oak leaf clusters. The award is retroactive to any member of the Air Force who performed thirty six months or more as an Air Force recruiter, provided that the service member was on active duty after June 2000.

The Air Force also issues a Recruiter Badge for temporary wear while serving in duties as an Air Force Recruiter.
