I became a US Army Recruiter against my will. In the late 70s three was a major Shake Up in USAREC due to some recruiters doing illegal activities. A major amount of them were relievved ! That caused the Army to involuntarily send many of us out to serve there. Even though I was not happy I did my Best. That was not good enough (at least at first) as I did not write an Enlistment Contract until my 4 month. However, as with Most Army Assignments, IF I DID NOT GIVE UP AND PUT MORE EFFORT INTO THE JOB and LESS Justification for my Failure.. well IT PAID OFF! I was very Successful, I got Promoted and I feel my Successful Time BECAME A STRONG Achievement in my career. I know that it NEVER HURT ME!

My advice is GO WITH A POSITIVE OPEN MIND AND GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT! It will Make you a Better SOLDIER either way! One Bit of Advice, Remember those you help become Soldiers, may be the same Individuals that guard your life in the future.

My advice is don’t do it, unless you want a post Army career as either a pimp, used car salesman or televangelist. I was a recruiter and it was by far the worst job I ever had. You basically lie for a living and it was my experience their was no honor whatsoever among recruiters.

Thank your for responding sir, coming from another branch is like starting all over again pretty much a PVT in the Army. Most of my schools are not transferable, Time in grade was move from 2015 to 2017. The only thing i have is my time in service and my Awards. Will Recruiting separate me from my peers? or will it be the down fall of my Career ? every body around me telling me not to do it.

SGT (Join to see) - Okay, now that your initial question is a little more clear, I'll adjust your title to hopefully draw more appropriate responses from the RP community.
