6-10. School Entry Vehicles (SEV)

Within general campus recruiting, there are two methods to gain entry to our assigned schools, which are host to our primary NPS market. They are as follows:

School presentations are to expose both faculty and students to the assigned RRNCO and ARNG, with the end result creating interest in what the ARNG has to offer. School presentations can fit into either one of two categories:

(1) School entry vehicles (SEV) are developed by the individual RRNCO or purchased through State or NGB initiatives. The NGB has obtained at least one program under a national contract in which RRNCOs are trained to present training and assistance to students in obtaining skills to survive in the job market. There are many programs that can be used as a SEV to gain access to the students; however, the main goal of an SEV is to sell the student on the need to further explore the benefits of the ARNG with a face-to-face appointment with the RRNCO.

(2) Classroom instruction in a subject in which the RRNCO is well qualified to instruct, such as the mission of the ARNG and military history can provide a useful service to the school and provide exposure for the RRNCO.

Career days are usually an open forum for military, business, and/or school and college recruiters to present their programs and opportunities to students. Maximum participation in career days hosted by the school are highly encouraged as the students are required to attend, in most cases, and the RRNCO has the opportunity to talk to a large number of students in a short time. Maximum usage of ARNG personnel who are graduates or students in the particular school pays big dividends in personifying the ARNG message through these satisfied customers as part of the ARNG display. Both school presentations and career day activities must provide a benefit to the student, school, and the ARNG. When designed to enhance a student’s learning and/or provide them a service, the school will usually support and welcome the RRNCO.

3-3. Soldiers and Army Civilians enter the Army with personal values developed in childhood and nurtured over years of personal experience. By taking an oath to serve the nation and the institution, one agrees to live and act by a new set of values—Army Values. The Army Values consist of the principles, standards, and qualities considered essential for successful Army leaders. They are fundamental to helping Soldiers and Army Civilians make the right decision in any situation. Teaching values is an important leader responsibility by creating a common understanding of the Army Values and expected standards.

3-4. The Army recognizes seven values that all Army members must develop. When read in sequence, the first letters of the Army Values form the acronym “LDRSHIP”:
