The last time AFRS achieved this milestone during May was in 1986. "What is exceptionally special about this announcement is that it occurred during the month of May, which happens to be the last of our toughest accession months," said Col. James Hola-dachief of the AFRS operations division. "We refer to our slowest time as 'FMAM,' which represents the first initial of the months of February through May. Although we consider last year also to be very successful, we didn't reach this milestone until July." Even with nearly 37,000 signups in hand, recruiters are still y, hard at work recruiting addi- tional candidates in anticipation of possible cancellations and to begin filling more than 35,000 new jobs for next year. The Air Force also faces a tough challenge in recruiting health professionals primarily nurses, dentists and pharmacists. "This is an indicator of how hard our recruiters are working, but we still have a daunting challenge ahead of us," Deal said. "But the success of meeting such a tough challenge is part of what makes recruiting duty so special." Recruits cite the opportunity to further their education as the top reason for joining the Air Force, according to a recent survey. All new recruits are automatically enrolled in the Community College of the Air Force; the only accredited junior college among the armed services. "When our great recruiters talk to young people today," Deal said, "they recognize that joining the Air Force equals enrolling in college. If s automatic on their enlistment, and new trainees earn between 15 and 72 college hours when they complete training, depending on their skill areas. Added to that, they are gaining a skill, immediate responsibility and being part of the world's greatest aerospace team." With an ever-increasi- empha- sis placed on high-tec- h operations and weapon systems, the Air Force is recruiting the best of America's youth, Deal said. Young people entering today's Air Force can qualify for more than 200 skills. The Air Force is currently placing special emphasis on recruiting qualified high school graduates and college stu- dents interested in electronic and mechanical fields.
