Both recruiters and applicants alike must understand that the enlistment of any applicant whois not immediatelyavailable for federal active service whencalled upon is not compatible with the worldwidemission of the Air National Guard of the United States (ANGUS). Each applicant will be thoroughly screened and every effort made to ensure that only the most capable, dedicated and conscientious persons are selected for enlistment under the established enlistment priority programs.It is imperative that only the most qualified applicants be enlisted to achieve and maintain the highest possible skill level, consistent with Unit Manpower Document Active (UMDA) requirements. For the required Enlistment Questionnaire See Figure 1.1. 1.1.1. The military records of a Prior Service (PS) applicant (Attachment1, Terms)must be closely exarained to determine the mannerin which the service was performed and progression within their previoas skill. When considering a PS applicant for enlistment, all prior service docuraents will be reviewedto determinethe reason for discharge or separation. An applicant's eligibility will be determinedonly after an overall view of previous service (see paragraph 1.16.).

To obtain prior military vice records, use SF Form180, Request Pertaining to Military Records, see paragraph 2.1.8.

If during the briefing, the briefer discovers information they feel raay be disqualifying for enlistment, or the applicant declines to accept requirements of the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC),the Director of Personnel should be notified immediatelyto verify whether or not such informationis in fact disqualifying. If the Adjutant Generalchoosesto utilize unit orientation briefings, it is incumbent upon the state to ensure that the briefings are accomplished all applicants, informafor tion coveredin the briefings are not discriminatory, and the orientation is presented in a fair and equitable manner. 1.1.4. The Air National Guard policy for Pre-service Drug Abase, including Pre-service Marijuana usage and self-admission to drug involvement is outlined in Attachment7.
