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. 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 position you will be responsible for recruiting applicants in the
following programs: Enlisted Active Duty, Reserves, and all non-Academy
Officer accession programs. 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, and community centers 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 commissioning.
Recruiters frequently work irregular hours to conform to civilian schedules and
perform travel to accomplish the mission.
b. Recruiters in Charge (RIC) lead one of 65 Recruiting Offices (RO) across the
nation and require robust leadership skills. In addition to all 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 assigned to their RO.
3. Members are reminded that both RIC & PR positions come with Special Duty Pay,
Incentive Pay, and increased Assignment Priority (AP4) upon successful
