SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- Citizen Airmen Wanted: Nationwide Openings for Reserve Recruiters

Motivated recruiters are needed to help shape the future of the Air Force

Reserve. The Recruit-the-Recruiter program is designed to identify Citizen
Airmen, like yourself, who have what it takes to support the mission of the
Air Force Reserve Recruiting Service.

"We are actively seeking qualified Airmen to apply due to projected
vacancies throughout the Recruiting Service," said Senior Master Sgt. Melissa Melichar,
the Flight Chief of recruiting at the 932nd Airlift Wing.

Sergeant Melichar said there are many benefits to serving as a recruiter. While
serving in Active-Guard-and-Reserve status, recruiters receive the same pay
and entitlements as active-duty Airmen, including Tricare Prime and the
opportunity to work toward an active-duty retirement. Also, many recruiters
believe the best part of their job is helping applicants obtain the
opportunities that accompany service within the Air Force Reserve.

Those interested in becoming a recruiter can contact Senior Master Sgt. Melissa Melichar
at 618-229-7077 or melissa.melichar@us.af.mil.
