First, complete an AF Form 1288. If you are a traditional reservist (TR) it must be signed by your losing wing commander; IMAs need signatures from both their losing commander and losing RMG/PM. Guard members need signatures from both the losing commander and a reserve recruiter. If you are active duty you need signatures from both your region commander and a reserve recruiter. Inactive (any service) must contact a reserve recruiter for all actions.
Second, send an email to HQ RIO/Det 7 (arpc.hqriodet7forcemgt@us.af.mil) with a complete package which consists of (1) the signed AF Form 1288, (2) last 3 performance reports and (3) a Record Review Rip (RRR). They will send your package to OSI/DPR to initiate the suitability investigation.
Once the SI is approved, HQ RIO Det 7 will contact you. Ensure you are current on all readiness requirements (PHA, dental and fitness test) to prevent any delays in the assignment process.
Note to recruiters: Please do not submit the 1288 in AFRISS until HQ RIO Det 7 notifies you that the member's suitability investigation is approved. Otherwise, it will sit in AFRISS and flag as overdue.
