For my fellow Army NCOs, have you thought about volunteering for Recruiting assignment? If so, what are some questions you have?

Love the enthusiasm! Definitely suggest you read DA PAM 611-21 and familiarize yourself with the requirements to be either a 79R Recruiter or 79S Career Counselor. The next thing to consider is, do you want to help young people enlist or Soldiers to reenlist/extend? I personally had never thought of the 79S route and love the opportunities to step "outside the box" being a Recruiter affords me. Then, I'd look at comparisons of both MOSs' overall personnel size (over/under strengthed?) and promotion trends. That way you aren't only thinking about the upfront MOS decision but long term career impact or potentials as well. 

You do have to wait to hit that 6-12 month from DEROS time frame for OCONUS. Volunteers select a total of 9 battalions within 3 brigades (3 per brigade) in order of preference. If your #1 BN choice is at 99% strength or less, you will be assigned to that BN. If the BN is at 100% strength or more, USAREC G-1 looks at your #2 BN choice. This process will continue until you are assigned to the first BN on your list at 99% strength or less. Nothing says you can't call the BNs and see what strength % they are at. Just saying...
