To maintain today's readiness and strength requirements while preparing for tomorrow's challenges, the Guard Recruiting Assistance Program promotes strength from within by recognizing and rewarding those who help the ANG achieve its goals.

Air National Guard Recruiting Assistants can earn additional income assisting ANG recruiting efforts by identifying well-qualified men and women for service in the ANG. RAs earn $2,000 for each new recruit who enlists and reports to Basic Training/AMS or for each prior service member who completes a 90 day affiliation with the unit.

Air National Guard Recruiting Assistants are embedded in their respective communities and are uniquely positioned to identify Potential Airmen/Officers in the people they already know. It's the effective way to promote strength from within.

Be an Air National Guard Recruiting Assistant. Qualify to become an Air National Guard Recruiting Assistant through a simple online process. Take the first step toward earning additional income while assisting the ANG in meeting future manpower requirements.

The Guard Recruiting Assistance Program (G-RAP) is a contracted program designed for individuals who voluntarily apply online at www.GuardRecruitingAssistant.com to become eligible to serve as a Recruiting Assistant (RA). The RA applicant will be verified and hired by a contractor, not the ANG.

Each RA will cultivate quality Potential Airmen/Officers from within their individual spheres of influence. Once a Potential Airman/Officer is identified and pre-qualified, the RA will facilitate a meeting engagement with their local ANG Recruiter. The triad of Recruiter, RA, and nominee will then work closely to process the nominee and move them towards enlistment.

Upon verified enlistment, the RA will receive an initial payment of $1,000, with a second $1,000 payment upon verification of the new recruitÕs successful shipment to Basic Training or AMS. For a Prior Service recruit, the RA will receive the initial payment of $1,000 upon verified enlistment and the second $1,000 payment upon verification of the new recruitÕs successful 90 day affiliation with the unit. Verification is received from both AFRISS and MILPDS systems.
Note: exact payment timelines vary depending upon prior service/non-prior status and availability of training seats.
