How do I sign up for the Guard Recruiting Assistant Program (GRAP)?
Guard Recruiting Assistants can earn additional income assisting Army National Guard (ARNG) recruiting efforts by identifying well-qualified men and women for service in the Army National Guard. RAs earn $2,000 for each new recruit who enlists and reports to Basic Training or for each prior service member who affiliates with a unit for four months. The Guard Recruiting Assistance Program (G-RAP) is a contracted program designed for individuals who voluntarily apply online at www.GuardRecruitingAssistant.com to become eligible to serve as a part-time Recruiter Assistant (RA). The RA applicant will be verified and hired by a contractor (Docupak), not the ARNG.
Each RA will cultivate quality Potential Soldiers from within their individual spheres of influence. Once a Potential Soldier is identified and pre-qualified, the RA will arrange a meeting with their local Recruiting and Retention NCO (RRNCO). The RRNCO, RA, and Potential Soldier will then work closely to process the Potential Soldier and move them towards accession.
Upon enlistment, the RA will receive an initial payment of $1,000, with a second $1,000 payment upon successful shipment of a Non-Prior Service referral to Basic Training for a total of $2,000.00. As for a Prior Service recruit, the RA will receive the initial payment of $1,000 upon enlisting in the Army National Guard with SIDPERS and ARISS having been updated, and the second $1,000 payment upon successful drilling of 120 days in their unit. Note: Exact payment timelines vary depending upon prior service/non-prior status and availability of training seats.
