Can you still do SFAB if you are on recruiting duty?

Currently on recruiting duty as an 11B , am I able to do SFAB just like selection or warrant are allowed? Or is SFAB out of the question ?

The SFAB was getting people out of recruiting duty, it might have changed though. Contact your branch manager to put you in contact with the SFAB recruiter. Not many 11B2 slots though, so you may have to wait for either a slot to open or a promotion.

SFAB was getting people out of recruiting orders, but once you're on recruiting duty, USAREC would have to release you. Last I heard, SFAB was only taking 11B3. Selection isn't allowed either unless you're at the end of your tour. Commissioning trumps all though because it ends your enlistment

I feel your pain. I was looking for every way possible out of recruiting when I left the 82nd and went there.
But no, in the three years I spent on duty, I only saw one guy leave and he went to Delta. No shit, Delta (CAG) whatever you want to call it.
As for the rest of us, enjoy your broadening assignment that will help you get college and possibly the E7 list some day. Don’t get an RI.

I say put in a 4187 and sf 600, no harm in trying. I do believe you have to be SGT(P) as an 11B. But go for it.
