OK, Here is my 2 Cents worth! I served 24 Years 1974 - 1998 in 2006 I was Recalled out of Retirement I served at A.P.G., Md. wound up being a NCOIC and Platoon Sgt. good times Old Dawgs can learn New Tricks. Now why am I writing this someone dropped dime on me and informed Recruiting Command that I wanted to be a Recruiter! LOL I was on my way home from Ft. Hood my wife and I were on our way home she headed to Afghanistan. MSG calls me and offers me Job as a Recruiter I was 52 when I Graduated from School I could only do 2 years 1st year was "Bitch" 2nd year was much better I wanted to stay 3rd year and someone at Recruiting Command said No. 2 Years you are just getting into the Job and what to do to get Johnny or Jane into the Army. I wish I could have stated for 3rd. Yes it was hard, Yes it was long hours, Yes I made it Fun and I am Glad I did it.

Definitely not. You need some time to find your way into the groove. The 3 years gives you an opportunity to actually become productive.

I just spent 10 years as an AGR Recruiter. It is definitely one of the hardest duties I ever did. I went back to TPU in order to reclassify to 79V Reserve Career Counselor. 2 years sounds good but will never happen.

How do you keep up with your MOS while on recruiting duty?

Depending on your MOS keep your head in the manuals and regs that involve your job. As an infantryman you play with Army guys.
