U.S. Air Force Senior Recruiting Service Badge (1st award) U.S. Air Force Master Recruiting Service BadgeThe U.S. Air Force Recruiting Service Badge is authorized to all personnel who are assigned to active duty Air Force recruiting stations. The badge is worn as a decoration centered on the left uniform pocket for males and centered on the right side of the uniform above the nameplate for females. Depending on the recruiter’s personal achievement, the badge may be modified with a silver (Senior Recruiter) or gold (Master Recruiter) wreath. Subsequent awards of the silver wreath are denoted with an appropriate numerical designation at the top of the badge.
Recruiters earning their fourth silver wreath also earn the U.S. Air Force Senior Recruiter Ring while those earning the gold wreath receive the U.S. Air Force Master Recruiter Ring.

The badge is worn as a decoration centered on the left uniform pocket for males and centered on the right side of the uniform above the nameplate for females. The badge may be modified with a gold rope that incorporates a gold banner at the bottom of the badge that denotes the recruiter’s position (Staff, Assistant Senior, Senior, or Medical). Additionally, the badge may be modified with a gold wreath which incorporates a gold banner atop the badge denoting a recruiter's personal achievement (100, 200, or Master); these badges are called "Century Club Badges." Staff, Assistant Senior, Senior, or Medical recruiters with century awards have recruiter badges that are modified with a gold wreath that incorporates gold bannars at the top and bottom of the badge denoting both position and achievement; these badges are called "Dual Century Club Badges." However, recent official Air Force photographs of Air Force Reserve Command Recruiters wearing the Dual Century Club Badge have a numerical designation in the bottom banner where the recruiter's position is usually noted. This numerical designation could be a change in how recruiter positions are identified on the recruiter badge; however, no documentation describing this change has been found.

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or force:
“There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet; impulses smothered too long in the fetid air of underground caves. The soul lives in a sickly air. People can be slave-ships in shoes.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
