Air Force Recruiting Ribbon

The US Air Force was the last to establish a Recruiting Service Ribbon, and did not institute it until June of 2000. These Air Force ribbons were created to honor another area of essential service that they had no previous method to reward. These US military medals are worth 2 points in the Weighted Airmen Promotion System. These medals of America are awarded to personnel graduating from the Air Force Recruiting School provided that the service member is presently serving in a United States Air Force Command. After thirty six months of recruiting duty these Air Force ribbons may be awarded permanently providing the service member’s tour as a recruiter as been free of disciplinary action. The Air Force also issues a Recruiter Badge for temporary wear while serving in duties as an Air Force Recruiter. There are no corresponding military medals for these awards. 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. These military ribbons are worn below the Air Force Military Training Instructor Ribbon and above the Air Force Professional Military Education Graduate Ribbon in the general order of precedence that has been established by the Air Force for the proper display of all military medals and ribbons.
