JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas – The Air Force Recruiting Service (AFRS) is casting a wider net seeking the best and brightest to join the service. The goal is to reach out to under-represented groups that will help diversify the AF and its manning goals while helping inspire young people from all across the country. “(R)ecruiting must be about getting the ‘best athletes’ on the (AF) team,” said Maj. Gen. Ed Thomas, AFRS commander. AFRS has traditionally been strong in the South, but there are untapped areas of talent, he said. Thomas believes if the AF isn’t tapping those areas, then AFRS isn’t getting all of the best that America has to offer, but Thomas is also committed to maintaining high standards and combat readiness. In a move to improve AF’s rated diversity, leaders officially released the service’s Rated Diversity Improvement (RDI) Strategy March 17 to attract, recruit, develop and retain a diverse-rated corps.
