Can I volunteer for both SFAB and recruiter?

I am currently on assignment so I know I can not go recruiter at this moment. I would really like to be able to do both. Will I be able to volunteer for sfab and after that contract is completed volunteer for recruiter?

Why not?

Once have company compleated a successful SFAB tour you would probably be a prime candidate for recruiting duty. It should be a manner of developing a career plan and adjust it as necessary.

Good luck on your future endeavors!!

A good friend of mine just got accepted into SFAB for JBLM he reports I think in August he is a buck sergeant. From everything I have heard I would drop a package for SFAB once you are done with it then go recruiter if that is what you want. I have spoken with a lot of NCO's that have joined the SFAB it seems like a good job. I might start looking more into it next year.
