You are MSgt Young, assigned to the 342d Recruiting Squadron at Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Although your squadron headquarters is in Minneapolis, you are assigned as the flight chief for the southern Wisconsin region and eight recruiters total. You' re the rater for all eight recruiters. The 342d covers almost all of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
The flight office is in Madison, Wisconsin, and you are next door to the recruiting office.
Your supervisor, SMSgt Hughes, works at headquarters. He's a good boss but will sometimes send a little extra work your way because of your knowledge and experience in supervision.
SMSgt Hughes has two subordinates: SrA Delk (unit administrator) and A IC Griffey (unit vehicle NCO).
The recruiting business is fastpaced . Fortunately, you have eight top-notch recruiters who are experienced and hardworking. Your fl ight recruits at least 225 young people a year. This job requires complete dedication. There' s no such thing as "regular" duty hours, because most actual recruiting takes place after 1630. During the day, your recruiters are preparing mail - outs, taking care of administrative duties, and documenting personnel interview records
(PIRs). The PLRs are a complete history of all communication between a recruiter and individuals in the delayed entry program (OEP). It ' s important for your recruiters to keep in constant communication with their "OEPPERs" (recruits in the OEP) to keep them motivated and prepared for basic training. At any given time, there may be 25 recruits in the OEP, and their recruiter is their first line supervisor. Your recruiters are also visiting 25 high schools, 7 colleges, and making numerous classroom presentations. Each of your recruiters is responsible for a two- to three-county area (zone).
Your job is fairly easy because you have great recruiters, but there are always surprises that pop up. The weather is highly unpredictable. Government owned
