SEBR- That would be one hell of a recruiting incentive for a college kid.

Surefire seems like a neat idea.

Yeah, make it a yearly thing. Most people who get others in gets a rifle. Or a 1911. You can get a decent 1911 for not a whole lot of green. |

The promise of coed tents on FTX's?
Although, remembering back to the beasts in my ROTC class...it may not be a good approach!  Actually there were a few good looking chickies...especially one MSIV when I was an MSIII...she ended up branching MP, she was sweet. I got a pic of her and I at a MILBALL somewhere.... |

Heck, I'd even sign again if someone gave me one of those!  Unfortunately, the chain of command would probably frown on practical gifts such as that.

Well, we only have 1 female cadet right now and she's married. Besides, I don't want to deal with the fallout that would come from this. |

How about a real nice knife...maybe a good Ka-Bar?
Wrangle some sort of helicopter ride from a Guard unit? Hell, we had a local Guard Aviation unit transport us to an FTX site, they were flying anyway that weekend, eggbeater rides are always fun... |

Yeah, Cadre frowned on fraternization, especially in the field (it did happen) |

Hmm, knife might be good. We already get the helichopper rides sometimes. We usually try to get them for FTX like you did. Probably wouldn't be able to wrange a ride just for a few cadets. |

Yeah, it happens. It happens all the time at NALC and they don't really try to hide it. It happens between cadre and cadets too..... |

OK,
I know this is WAAAY out there, but how about, a scholarship? And a T shirt that says on the front: I have got a job after graduation And on the back: And I am not a dirt bag pussy like your boyfriend. |

Shit, that could be dangerous! Get caught, goodbye career, in a hurry... Speaking for me, a nice set of Gore Tex is a great incentive, a nice Ka-Bar like I said. the Sure-fire would be great, handy in the field. For the real gung ho (like I was) maybe a nice Tac-Vest... I guess it would depend on the cadet, but there are some good ideas there.... |

I can't give a scholarship to cadets who recruit other cadets. Most of my cadets are already either on scholarship or are SMP. I could give them money, but I was looking for something more substantial. I like the T-shirt idea, though. My guess is the school administration wouldn't like it too much, however. |

Try and get a slot for Airborne or Air Assault. The recruiters here get them for 3 good recruits in one month and will pass it on to the person who makes three good referrals in a month. For lesser try giving UnderArmor, particularly in the compression versions these are nice shirts. |

Sexy schools.
Send them as a group to sapper school and get them a tab. You are in Missouri anyway. lickies and stickies are always popular. Airborne and Air Assault are OK, but there are SCUBA slots to be had. Be creative and hook them up. Still like the T-shirt idea. Surefire aviators look like the shiznit. |

I'd love to send these guys to Sapper. <cough>already did it and got in trouble<cough> Cadet Command won't pay for Sapper, unfortunately. We can't send them without orders because if they got hurt, the Army wouldn't pay. What's a Surefire aviator? Is that one of the flashlight models? |

I have had ROTC guys take my Combat Life
When I was in all I got was a ribbon. I think you have some pretty cool stuff already but Knowing Officers the way I knew officers... Maybe you might want to throw in a GPS.

Yes.
Its got red LEDs that last forever and a 50 lumen white light for when you need things bright. I think there is an IR version as well. Best of both worlds and built like a tank. Next deployment, I am picking one up. Not cheap, almost 2 bills. The surefire executives is 94 and the Z-2 combat light is 90. The nitrolon is cheap, but not worth the money (I have one). Sucks about Sapper, they can't go permissive? Oh, and my next job may be XO of the ROTC det at UT Knoxville. |

Yeah, but you can't call it a Desert Eagle or they won't know what it is. You have to call it a deagle. Remember that: "deagle". New pair of good boots (Danner Acadias?) Small GPS How much are you guys able to spend? |

We can spend as much or little as we want. I'm thinking no more than $150 per. Would prefer to keep it less so I can get more. |

My Recruiting district is paying for Dress Blues/Mameluke Sword for officer candidates who bring in enough referrals.
Not sure what your uniform purchasing schedule looks like or if you have anything on the Army side that'd compare to the sword. |

2 Good Refferals- US ARMY Coin (there are some nice ones at the PX's). Go through a briefing about the history of coining in the Military to get them excited about a chance to get "coined".
3-5 A full Army ACU uniform, with boots. See Ranger's Joes and Quartermaster for commercial regulation equivalent uniforms cheap. Weapons are nice but in todays school environments you will be putting yourself in a bad situation. The ammount of refferals of course adjust fire but do not make it too easy. I am assuming you are talking Army ROTC if not subsitute the Army ACU with a larger Camelbak. Good luck. |

Yup, Army ROTC. If you're talking about Brigade Quartermaster, they state their ACU's are not regulation. I believe the one's from Ranger Joe's are. Expensive, though. |
