Wrapped in bold Air Force graphics, the four specially refitted recreational vehicles will circulate the country full time to help boost recruiting. Each RV has space for a public affairs noncommissioned officer and three recruiters. The ROVers are equipped to operate at remote locations and contain enough recruiting supplies and specialty merchandise to accommodate 5,000 visitors per month.

Onboard, computerized equipment collects contact information provided by visitors, and also prints out a commemorative, embossed metal "dog tag" for each visitor that features the new official Air Force symbol. On the exterior of each ROVer, large, multimedia video screens with audio systems treat visitors to a "tour of duty" presentation highlighting the job skills and advanced technology offered by the Air Force.

"The new ROVers will greatly expand our efforts to take the Air Force message to many more cities across America," said Brig. Gen. Duane W. Deal, Air Force Recruiting Service commander. "We've found that one of the best ways to reconnect with the American public and showcase career opportunities is by reaching out and going to the public directly, especially in high traffic areas like high schools and shopping malls. The boldly designed ROVers with their space-age appeal are attractive to young people and are self-contained with all of the tools our recruiters need to put their best foot forward."
