Frequently Asked Questions About the AFRS IMT 1327
What is the Recruiter Assistance Program?
The Recruiter Assistance Program (RAP) is an Air Force program that allows servicemembers to assist local Air Force recruiters in their home communities while on non-chargeable leave. Participants help recruiters connect with potential enlistees by sharing their personal experience as Air Force members.
Is RAP participation paid?
No. RAP duty is voluntary and unpaid. Participants serve on non-chargeable leave, which means the time does not count against their regular leave balance. Travel, housing, and other expenses are the responsibility of the participant.
How long does approval take?
Approval timelines vary by command. Plan to submit the AFRS IMT 1327 at least four to six weeks before your desired participation dates to allow time for the two-level approval process.
Can I participate in RAP more than once?
Yes. Servicemembers may apply for RAP participation multiple times by submitting a new AFRS IMT 1327 form for each requested period.
