It's been another hot recruiting year for the Air Force thanks to Recruiting Service's dedicated producers and support personnel. Members and units were recognized for outstanding dedication to duty during the annual award banquets that took place in autumn.

"This year's top awards and honors went to extraordinary individuals ... professionals who faced recruiting and recruiting 'business' challenges head on, pushed through adversity and maintained a sharp focus," said Brig. Gen. Suzanne Vautrinot, AFRS commander. "And when those individuals worked as a team, we saw flights and squadrons also win big. We remain the only military recruiting service in the nation that delivers the right number of Airmen, with the right quality, right skills and at exactly the right time ... right down to the ship-day level."
