Army Recruiter Tips for Success

Enlisting high-quality recruits in the Army and Army Reserve is what you do for a living. ConAP helps you by attracting college-capable men and women. Following are tips for making ConAP a success:

  • Provide ConAP points of contact with a list of recruiting stations in your battalion so that they always know how to contact recruiters with questions or problems.
  • Conduct DEP functions at ConAP colleges several times a year. By prior arrangement, bring DEP soldiers, parents, and guests to ConAP colleges for a briefing about academic programs, financial aid, what they can expect from the college, and what they should do as ConAP soldiers on active duty. Arrange a tour of the campus. Allow time to fill out ollege Referral and Intent to Enroll forms for enlistees who have not already done so.
  • Invite ConAP college points of contact to attend or speak at Center of Influence (COI) functions.
  • Invite ConAP college points of contact and Directors of Counseling on Educator Tours.
  • Volunteer to speak about ConAP and Army education programs to high school and college staff members, civic groups, etc.
  • Match courses of instruction and degree programs at ConAP colleges with Career Management Fields (CMF) and Military Occupational Specialties (MOS). When an enlistee's MOS (such as Aircraft Power Plant Repair, Heavy Wheel Vehicle Mechanic, or Military Police for example) matches an academic program, arrange for the enlistee to see a college counselor and discuss a degree plan that takes advantage of the MOS or CMF. Use the chart entitled Linking Career Management Fields (CMF) and Selected Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) ith College Programs. The chart is on the ConAP Web site under the section entitled "Forms and Guides".

Include ConAP in your Company School Plan. Recruiters should visit their high schools and colleges frequently.

Always attach your business card or stamp your name in the "Contact" block of the Student's, Parents' and Counselor's Guide to ConAP" and on the last page of the USAR Job Vacancy Report. Provide these documents to high school and college counselors.

Cooperate with your colleges in every way possible.
