The information is used to create the initial personnel record that is used to prescreen and qualify enlistees, line officers, and health professionals fit for service and ultimately induction into one of the three Air Force commands. The information is also collected to process security clearances for those individuals requiring clearances for sensitive and classified positions. The respondents are recruiting applicants of the Air Force who may seek more information or request copies of their personal information. The collection instrument is by various forms as applicable. Form names and numbers are listed in accompanying System of Record Notice. Collections instruments are completed by applicants and recruiters into the system of record as applicable to their recruiting and application purposes. Forms are collected by recruiters after completion by the applicants. All completed instruments of collection reside in the system of record which has safeguards in place to protect privacy information. The end result of a successful information collection is the successful accession of an applicant in the Air Force and the safe keeping of said applicant's personal information.
