I am interested in volunteering for recruiter as I have no broadening assignment as of yet. However, I don’t want it to hurt my chances for MSG as I would be outside of my CMF. Has anyone volunteered for recruiter and had it assist their career? Thanks.

Having sat on the selection board for MSG... Recruiting/DS/ACRC assignments are all priority 1 assignments. Although not traditionally organized so that you get Plt Sergeant time...etc, we gave you equal credit. The Army has to fill these billets and won't hold it against you. Now, if you haven't had any line PSG time, deployments, etc, don't stay too long.

I’ve been deployed 4 times and have 3 years motor sergeant time. I’m a 91X so platoon sergeant is helpful but not required. Thanks for your input CSM.

Shouldn’t hurt your chances at making MSG. I was selected for SFC while in recruiting school, did 2 1/2 years as a SFC recruiter and I still was selected for MSG on this last list.

Niether. It takes you away form your job as a squad leader and PSG. It hard to get picked up with out your rated time.
