How is it been a recruiter?

Recruiting is what you make it! It's all changed now since I was out there and is sliced up in the teams: engagement team (generate appts), process team (build packets), future Soldier Manager. My recommendation is: be honest because your name will be circulating through shopping malls, high schools, local businesses, employment offices, etc.. Your name is your credibility and you represent the Army, remember that!

Don't mess with high school girls, as a matter of fact, I was borderline rude to them so they wouldn't/couldn't think I was flirting. Set up fun events to draw big crowds to get the Army story out there, it was fun and a bit of a stress reliever. Leave your business cards everywhere: ASVAB study guide books in the library and Barnes & Noble, 6pack beer cartons in liquor stores and supermarkets, leave business cards next to the urinals/sinks in bars/restaurants/nightclubs. Again, be honest and know your product and know what the other branches have to offer so you can better suite your applicant! Once they enlist, treat them as a Soldier!

Oh and I would call branch prior to submitting your packets because there isn't a HUGE difference with one of nine choices and it's easier and quicker than all the paperwork (that's what I did and I got my first choice). DA Select have to fill out the same sheet within the first couple days of school. 9 times out of 10 you will be in one of your areas you choose (this is based on my experience and others that I know). Good luck!!
