Can I put in a recruiting packet if I’m close to maxing out the 9 year TIS requirement for recruiting?
I’m a E-5 promotable does that change the TIS requirement

In the Army there are waiverable and non-waiverable requirements. This one is waiverable, so put your packet in

Be careful what you ask for because, in this case, you will get it.
Know what you are getting in to, and if that is what you want do it right, be a hard charger and you can make your career outstanding.

Don't get me wrong, USAREC can be a excellent career move, and I do mean excellent, but it can just as easily be a stake to the heart. Consider your short and long term goals, make a plan and make it happen. No one plans to fail, they just fail to plan. Recruiting can absolutely help you achieve your plan BUT you have to know what your plan is.

MSG Brad Sand roger, a lot of my peers are trying to compete for instructor broadening assignment and I’m trying to be different because of that bottleneck in the instructor side.

You will have interesting discussion with them later in your career when they are standing at parade rest and addressing you, "Yes, Sergeant Major."

It's definitely not for everyone. I spent 3 years in recruiting and I look back on it as a good and interesting experience. I still talk to my recruits today. It's definitely not an easy job though.
