How to Order Recruiting Material
Who Can Order? All Commanders, Directors, and Officers of Recruiting and Retention, Public Affairs, and Administration duty positions have permission to order recruiting material through eServices. Orders are usually processed and shipped out within 24 business hours. If you need more materials than the maximum quantity allowed on the order page, enter the amount you need. Orders over the maximum and/or within 60 days of a previous order are reviewed before processing.
1. Log on to eServices
2. Select "Menu" from the top left; then select "Administration"
3. Under Administration, select "Material Orders"
4. Click on the red chevron and "Material Orders" on the top left of the screen. In the drop-down menu that appears, click on "Order Request."
5. You should see a drop-down box labeled “Material Category" with three choices: AE Materials, Forms and Pamphlets, and Recruiting Materials. If you do not see an option, don't hesitate to get in touch with your squadron commander or WSA to request permission to view and order the material. For recruiting material, select Recruiting Materials from the drop-down menu.
