Army Recruiting Ring

The Army Recruiter Ring is the highest achievement award for recruiting excellence offered by the United States Army Recruiting Command.

The ring, designed by Leonard Trzeciak, a former Recruiting Command employee, is custom-made of yellow gold inset with a green stone to symbolize the Army. Around the stone is cast "U.S. Army - 1775." The Liberty Bell, surrounded by 13 stars, is molded into the right side of the ring, while the left side is embellished with a representation of the Army Recruiting Badge. Laurel leaves surround the ring and enhance the design.

As the recruiter continues to progress successfully after earning the Gold Badge, the gold stars on the badge are exchanged for sapphire stars. When all the gold stars have been replaced by sapphire stars, a recruiter qualifies to earn points toward the Recruiter ring.

The long quest for the ring takes the Army recruiter through eight levels of proficiency that test and prove his or her ability and skill in recruiting. The ring is not easily won; only a small percentage of Army recruiters wear this award.

When an Army recruiter earns the Army Recruiter ring, he or she is forever marked as one of the finest members of the Army's recruiting team.
