Barksdale AFB, La. --  Miranda Lambert will take the stage at the CenturyTel Center in Bossier City, La., Sept. 29, 2011. Among the audience could be a few lucky Airmen from the 307th Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, La, who could meet the recording star thanks to the Air Force Reserve "Get One Now Refer a Friend Tour."

"The program is designed for Air Force Reserve members to refer people to the AFR to join. The program rewards those AFR members for their referrals by offering different incentives like coins and other unique prizes," said Master Sgt. Steven Bender, assistant senior recruiter for the 307th Bomb Wing.

"Roughly, only 17 percent of a given population is tentatively eligible to join the AFR, and it seems that Get One Now leads are coming from more of that percentage than outside of it. So, AFR members are helping people change their lives by referring them to a recruiter," said Bender.

The program not only benefits unit recruiters; it also provides the kind of incentives for Airmen, who refer their friends for service in the Air Force Reserve, like their own service memories that can last a life time.
