If I accept an AGR recruiter offer will it be a good way to get into the AGR program for a different duty or will I be stuck as a recruiter?

I want to know if I can do my PMOS as an AGR after I do a tour as a recruiter?

If you are coming into the AGR program to be a 79R then that's what you are going to be stuck in. We are understrength and switching to your PMOS will be difficult unless you are already AGR and your just detailed for a certain period of time.

Well my PMOS is 38B and thats what I was applying for. I didn't add an AGR recruiter application and I just noticed that they don't have that option anymore. When did that change? I wouldn't mind doing recruiter but I don't want to be stuck doing it. I also feel like its a back handed offer because its not what I was seeking and if I decline I go to the bottom of the list.

SGT (Join to see) - Usually how it is it seems when I talked to other AGR who are recruiters but it wasn't their purpose. Way out the pros and cons of becoming a recruiter. Like all jobs it has it ups and downs. If you want more info, you can always message me but remember... Everyone experiences are different.

2LT James Montgomery - Oh it's all good Sir. I have looked at the V side and it's just like being a recruiter it seems. Work more weekends and lose sdap. I'll stay where I'm at. Lol Besides, my new position in recruiting, I lost my sdap and now go TDY a whole lot more.

if you are coming from a TPU for an AGR Recruiting assignment, you must first of all reup for a minimum of 3 years. Once you accept an AGR Recruiting assignment from a TPU, you are automatically converted as a 79R for the period of which you reenlisted for. Then from this point on you can reup to stay or return to your TPU with a skill's identifier (79R).
The only opportunities you will have as an AGR 79R are, Center Commander or Assistant position, Work at Battalion as an AGR NCOIC (MSG position, which is very competitive, you might not even make it), stabilized in one battalion forever or move to another battalion within the Brigade, and if lucky move out to another brigade.
Food for thought, make the numbers, get the most out of college education, kiss up with your chain (go for guy) and stay out of trouble and then you might become successful in Recruiting.

Thank you all for your responses. I found out some more information on it. It is a detail position, so I'll have a recruiter SQI instead of a PMOS change with the option to change to 79R at the end of tour or to return to my PMOS. I decided to take that offer and now going through the fun process of all the paperwork and what not.
