For those that have yet to play #5-99 Paths We Choose and would like to not know about the Boons, this is your spoiler as I am asking about one such boon.
New Recruits: Your faction's success enables it to recruit and train new members. You may designate one newly created PC under your Pathfinder Society number who shares your faction as a new recruit. This additional training grants that PC one of the faction's traits as a bonus trait, though the PC cannot have more than one faction trait. You must include a copy of this Chronicle sheet with the new PC's records, though that PC gains no additional boons, equipment or wealth from this Chronicle Sheet.
My question is about the wording, specifically
"This additional training grants that PC one of the faction's traits as a bonus trait, though the PC cannot have more than one faction trait."
At character creation, the character (from my understanding) gets 2 traits and one faction trait. The wording from the Boon however, to me, makes it sound redundant.
My questions are, what does it mean by saying that your PC is granted one of the faction's traits?
Why would it matter when at the creation of the character at 1st level and joining a faction would the Boon be needed when its wording sounds as though it is just replacing the faction trait that you've already picked at creation?
The character I have #5-99 completed on is Velarrio Ileor and I was beginning to take notes for a new Qadira/Exchange character once Velarrio here hits 12th Level.

That is incorrect. A new character gets 2 trait, one of which can be a faction trait.

I have a question related to this boon. I have recently earned this boon from playing then GMing it. I planed on applying the new recruit boon part from playing it with a Grand Lodge Character to a new Grand Lodge Character. Can I Apply my GM Credit from this to the same character as a boon in waiting. BUT picking, obviously, one of the other two boons?

Short answer: No.
Longer answer:
No character may ever have two of the same Chronicle sheet—a given Chronicle sheet must be applied to a different character each time it’s earned.
You may not assign multiple copies of a boon to the same character. If the only difference in the Chronicle sheet is the title of the convention or event listed at the top, it is effectively the same boon.

I'm gonna state that this is a "no", mainly basing this off of the fact that you can't apply player and GM credit to the same character twice as found on p. 30 of the PFSOP.
Boons like this are tricky though, so it might be a work-around. Honestly, I really don't think it was intended to be used in this way, much like how stacking the same convention reward boon to a single character wouldn't do anything except waste the boon.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Kinevon.

It wouldn't make sense to do this, since the idea of the boon is that the faction member who played the scenario recruits another, fresh member to his faction due to their famous exploits.
The second part of the suggestion also doesn't work. If you applied New Recruits to a new character, both the character who played/received credit for the scenario and the new recruit must have this boon applied, marked with the character receiving it and initialed. You couldn't pick one of the other boons as well, no matter who received the chronicle.
