1. All members are highly encouraged to pursue at least one Special Assignment
(SA) during their career. These career broadening assignments provide members
valuable opportunities to represent their ratings, network, and learn about
other operational and mission support activities. Furthermore, serving in
a SA increases your selection potential for future highly visible leadership
and management positions (e.g. Silver Badge, OIC, and School Chief).
2. The selection, motivation, and training of Recruiters is a top priority to
meet the Coast Guard's human capital needs. In an effort to best shape our
future military workforce, we are seeking candidates who demonstrate strong
interpersonal skills, infallible character, professionalism and a spirited
focus on building a diverse and inclusive Coast Guard. You will be responsible
for recruiting applicants in the following programs: Enlisted Active Duty and
Reserves and all non-Academy accessions. Visit www.GoCoastGuard.com to see
Coast Guard Recruiting in action.
a. Production Recruiters (PR) make daily decisions on how to attract applicants
most suitable to become a shipmate in our Service. Recruiters visit schools,
colleges, clubs, community centers, etc. to advertise Coast Guard opportunities,
identify prospects, and develop relationships. Recruiters often engage
influencers such as family members and community leaders to garner support
for an applicant's decision. Additionally, recruiters conduct the screening,
processing, and accession paperwork necessary for enlistments and
commissionings.
Recruiters frequently work irregular hours and perform travel to accomplish
their mission.
b. Recruiters in Charge (RIC) lead one of 56 Recruiting Offices (RO) across the
nation, and require robust leadership skills. In addition Production Recruiter
duties, RICs are responsible for mission planning, training, and administrative
oversight of their RO. They supervise up to 10 Production Recruiters as well as
scholarship program Officer trainees recruited by their RO.
3. Members are reminded RIC & PR positions come with Special Duty Pay and
increased Assignment Priority (AP3) upon successful completion of recruiting
tour.
