GRAP

The Guard Recruiting Assistance Program (GRAP) is a contracted program designed for individuals who voluntarily apply online at www.GuardRecruitingAssistant.com to become eligible to serve as a part-time Recruiting Assistant (RA). The RA applicant will be verified and hired by a contractor, not the ARNG. Each RA will cultivate quality Potential Soldiers from within their individual spheres of influence.

Once a Potential Soldier is identified and pre-qualified, the RA will facilitate a meeting engagement with their local Recruiting and Retention NCO (RRNCO). The triad of RRNCO, RA and Potential Soldier will then work closely to process the Potential Soldier and move them towards accession.

Upon enlistment, the RA will receive an initial payment of $1,000, with a second $1,000 payment upon successful shipment to Basic Training. Note: exact payment timelines vary depending upon prior service/non-prior status and availability of training seats.

In addition, all active M-day soldiers of the Army National Guard qualify for optional medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage through United Healtcare.
