Air Force honors top recruiters for 2010 Published March 14, 2011 By Staff Sgt. Hillary Stonemetz Air Force Recruiting Service Public Affairs RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Fourteen Air Force recruiters were named tops in their field for fiscal year 2010 by the Air Force Recruiting Service in a ceremony here March 8. Known as Operation Blue Suit, the AFRS program recognizes the best recruiters worldwide for their efforts in recruiting a diverse, high-quality volunteer force to fill career fields critical to the Air Force in accomplishing its missions. The program selects the best from nearly 1,200 Air Force recruiters worldwide. Winners are nominated by their recruiting groups and selected based on their performance in meeting assigned recruiting goals, leadership qualities and other professional traits. Operation Blue Suit began in 1979 to help bolster production in critical recruiting programs. The competition was originally designed to enhance enlisted recruiting efforts during the traditionally slow months of February through May. It proved so successful that officials expanded it to include officer accessions recruiting. Air Force Recruiting Service officials recognized Blue Suit winners and their spouses March 8-11 in San Antonio, Texas. The Air Force Blue Suit recruiters for 2010 are: -- Master Sgt. Daniel C.
