What is the process to become an Army recruiter?

I used to be like you. Told myself I was going to recruit out of Southern California and go home. Now knowing what I know about recruiter and especially that location to draw in recruits you couldn’t give me a bonus to do it.

Apply to be a recruiter IF:
1) You want all the good stuff you did in your career to no longer matter IF you don't make mission.
2) You want to spend HOURS upon Hours cold calling people just because they are in your area even if they have told you previously to go pound sand.
3) Did I say that if you don't meet mission, that every evening and weekend is remedial training? Oh well it is. You ran a dozen up the MEPS Flow but not enough passed the ASVAB or showed up able to pass a drug test so they could ship so YOU failed your mission.
4) Do you LIKE cold calling on the phone? You are the Army's telemarketer.

Run, don't walk to AVOID recruiting.

Most of the people you talk to who are prior recruiters will tell you to run away and find another assignment. I’d say that should tell you something.
