Definition
(Identify, Prioritize, Develop, Program, Consider,) 5 key words.1st Step: Identify and use all available assets by:
NCOIC provides all action and tracking cards from working file
Organize recruiting area by high school
Place all tracking cards in separate stacks by high school area
Place all action cards in separate stacks by high school area
2nd Step: Prioritize and distribute time:
High schools and high school areas are already prioritized
Amount of time spent prospecting in any high school is determined by high school priority
Many valuable assets must be worked and given attention no matter what
Determine and distribute time by looking at the percentage of total male seniors in that high school’s area
Multiply the percentage of males by 20 prospecting days to figure out the amount of days per school needed
3rd Step: Develop a prospecting plan:
Review List Scheduling Cards each month to determine how many names are left to contact from each list
Review all PAC’s, PPC’s, and RC’s for the month to set priorities
HOT – Probable Enlistment
Warm – Favorable Response but could go either way
Cold – Said they weren’t interested
Schedule an even flow of cards throughout the month in order to Spread Load (Do not overdo it)
4th Step: Program utilization:
Effective use of recruiting programs requires sound planning
List known events on month-in-sight (pool meetings, high school visits, etc)
Schedule individual action dates on month-in-sight
5th Step: Consider all assets:
Integrate all assets such as IRT’s, Take-ones, Contacts, Media, and Reserve Centers into your monthly plans |

| How do you complete a month-in-sight? |
|
Definition
Place appropriate dates on the Month-in-sight Sheet (block out all non-working days (leave, liberty, holidays, etc.))
Designate dates and days you will prospect in each high school based on your time distribution plan
Schedule lists based on the above distribution plan and mission assigned
Complete the prospection plan by scheduling the appropriate percentage or number of PAC’s, PPC’s, and RC’s
Incorporate known events, commitments, or administrative matters for the month
Weekly Reports
Phase Lines
Pool Functions
Center of Influences (COI’s)
Family Nights
HS Visits
Enter individual poolee events or action dates on the month-in-sight such as ship dates, weekly poolee contact, etc.
Enter individual command recruiting events or action dates on the month-in-sight such as recruit graduations, PTAD, etc.
Fit in additional assets like IRT’s, Media, Contacts, etc.
The Working File should directly reflect the monthly plan (return all cards to NCOIC) |

| How do you develop a week-in-sight? |
|
Definition
Little more than a mirror image of each week of the monthly plan
Daily plan must reflect those known events and planned prospection on the weekly plan
Daily plan is a detailed plan for the recruiter’s day
Ensure planning has maximized productive time by reviewing the plan each day with the SNCOIC
Leave an open block of time to allow for adjustment of the next day’s activities
Daily plan must be carefully scrutinized by recruiter and SNCOIC and appropriate adjustments made |
