Does Recruiter School count as ALC?

Alc is required for promotion. I am going to recruiting school and from what I was reading I can’t leave for any schools until six months of recruiting. Does recruiting school count as ALC? Also I don’t want to go to alc for my mos because I still have three years of recruiting and I’ll forget most of everything.

No, recruiter school is not equivalent to ALC. E4 through E7 can attend recruiting school, what is the rank requirement for ALC?

You won't forget everything. I thought so much about my actual MOS as a recruiter I think I learned stuff while interviewing high schoolers.

Actual current Recruiter here. Yes, if you convert to 79R as E5, the ARC counts.

I am currently promotable, I have ALC on my SRB, and I have never gone to any other ALC for a prior MOS. It automatically populated upon graduation. This is how it is - now-.

No, once you go recruiter, you’ll still have to go to ALC for your primary MOS.

ARC does not count as ALC, but you can be scheduled to attend ALC by your branch within a month or two of arriving to your recruiting station.

As of FY21 ARC counts towards ALC, that is all.
