C. ALCGENL 047/22 AY23 Special Assignment Kick-Off
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 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
stronger Coast Guard. As the Coast Guard grows in resources and
capability, it is imperative that Coast Guard Recruiting meets the
demand. In this competitive assignment, you will be responsible for
recruiting applicants for all Enlisted Active Duty and Reserve
programs, as well as 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. Recruiters must be creative to find new ways
to gain accessions. Additionally, recruiters conduct the screening,
processing, and accession paperwork necessary for enlistments and
commissionings. Recruiters frequently work irregular hours to conform
to civilian schedules and perform travel to accomplish their mission.
b. Recruiters in Charge (RIC) lead one of 61 Recruiting Offices (RO)
across the nation, and require robust leadership skills. In addition
to 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 that RIC & PR positions come with Special
Duty Pay and increased Assignment Priority (AP4) upon successful
completion of recruiting tour.
