If you’re told you’re going to hotel 8 by your leadership can you deny it? Is it a requirement to go?

It's in the PDM for a Skill Level 1 91S as Functional Training. It allows you to serve as a Recovery Vehicle Operator..one of 2 positions for a Level 1 91S. Your unit likely needs a H8 91S and you performed well to be recommended. You can request to not go, but they will likely push that you go, especially if you have a ATRRS slot already.
It also separates you from your peers when it comes time for promotion.

Why wouldn't you want to get more training?

It is required if you are in a recovery operator or NCO slot. Its a good course to attend, don’t short sell yourself.

Basically what everybody else said. Its a good course to have, is technically involved, is useful downrange, makes you more valuable to your unit, and increases your mobility.
