The army tells recruiters to put at least 2 "quality" people in per month. A prior service individual doesn't count as a"quality" individual. They want a high school grad that scores over a 50 on the ASVAB. You are what's called an "other." The recruiter gets zero credit for you. The station commander gets zero credit. You can try calling your local recruiting company headquarters and talking to the 1SG. Or find another recruiting station in another area. Neither are guaranteed to work, but you can try.

Here is the deal for the Army... First we need to make sure you are morally qualified and then medically qualified. If you are an E4 or below with less than 36 months active duty time you can pick any job you qualify for that is available. If you have more than 36 months active duty time than you have 18x, 35P, or 11x if you are already airborne qualified. These are the rules for joining the active Army. The reserves is different and you can pick any job you are qualified for.

That means tha whatever branch you choose to go into has different restrictions dealing with you. <br />If you are still in you need to see your retention NCO as that is a separate process. <br />I believe you said recruiter that translates to me that you are out. If I'll be 100% honest you are at the mercy of the needs of the service. Regardless of you stellar career the services are down-sizing that means less opportunity specially for prior service.

Your MOS will need to be open otherwise you will have to lateral move. I know we still have openings for FY 16 maybe not in your MOS. We have certain recruiters for prior service.

If you want to get me direct information, I might be able to give you a better answer. Are you trying to go AD, RE-Code, ETC. Response by MSG Brad Sand made Jan 11 at 2016 10:13 AM 2016-01-11T10:13:16-05:00 2016-01-11T10:13:16-05:00 PO1 Cameron Rhyne 1228606 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I worked Navy Recruiting for a few years and I'll just say that it was hard to put PS in. It happened but it was a lot of work and the Navy did not count PS as a contract until shipping(as opposed to when they intially enlist/DEP in), but it still counts as a loss if a PS person doesn't go(and since recruiting is very much about the numbers, you can see where this could happen). <br /><br />However, the Recruiter should give you a reason and if not, talk to his boss. Hell, our business cards had the number of our CO at District command on them, just in case someone was really not satisfied and needed to go all the way up the chain. <br /><br />If your recruiter refuses to give you an answer or even speak to you, better to find another recruiter. One who will at least tell you the truth or answer your calls. There's no excuse for leaving you hanging.
