Army Referral System- Sergeant Major of the Army Recruiting Team

The Army Referral System - Sergeant Major of the Army Recruiting Team (ARS-SMART) is a way for people to provide referrals who are interested in enlisting into the U.S. Army and/or Army Reserve. 

Everyone who makes a referral through SMART is eligible for the Sergeant Major of the Army coin and certificate for the first referral resulting in an enlistment in the Army or Army Reserve. There are no bonus payments associated with ARS-SMART referrals.

Referrals must be made via the ARS-SMART referral link at https://smart.goarmy.com/ or through the USAREC 1-800 number dedicated to this program, 1-800-223-3735, ext. 6-0473.

 

In addition, the individual making the referral must provide the name of the acquaintance as a referral through the ARS-SMART site, before the acquaintance conducts an appointment with an Army or Army Reserve recruiter.

Future Soldiers should make all their referrals through the ARS-SMART system to qualify for advanced promotions.

You might not be aware of this but the “BEST” referrals for the US Army/Army Reserve are a referral of a Future Soldier.  The reason for this is that we need people that are just like (you) the Future Soldier. 

You must have an AKO (Army Knowledge Online) account in order to register your referral with the ARS-SMART program.   

Once your referral has enlisted into the US ARMY/ARMY RESERVE you will receive a coin and certificate for this referral.   

In order to receive a promotion for your referral you must at least have provided to your recruiter a NON Prior Service applicant, who enlists into the DEP (Delayed Entry Program), Regular Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve.  

This referral must enlist on or before the date the applicant enters the Regular Army, IADT (initial active duty training) for Army Reserve or Army National Guard, in order for the Sponsor (Future Soldier) to enlist as a pay grade of PV2 (Private Second Class). 

Two or more qualified NON Prior Service, Glossary NON Prior Service, or Prior Service applicants (any combination) who enlist into the DEP, Regular Army, Army National Guard, or Army Reserve on or before the date the applicant enters the Regular Army, or IADT for Army Reserve or Army National Guard, may enlist as a pay grade of PFC (Private First Class).

So, what are you waiting for?????   Why enlist as a PV (Private)?  If you could make more money prior to going in the US ARMY/ARMY RESERVE, wouldn’t it be worth it to you, and benefit your friends if you could make a difference in their lives?? (lb)
