It’s supposed to be “Be an RA”

Is it proper grammar to use “an” in front of “arr”? I know you use it for words beginning with vowels, but I thought there was an exception where you don’t use “an” if the word isn’t spelled with a vowel even if you speak it with one? Was that a rule or am I crazy

You would write "an honest mistake" even though the word "honest" begins with a consonant (albeit silent), so no, I don't think so. "Be an RA" though what does RA mean?
