I have a friend who has become an NCO and has gotten into Recruiting. She's expressed difficulty with dealing with potential Recruits which I can imagine can be difficult on a Recruiter attempting to get people on board. Do you have any advice I can pass her way on how to deal with people and the frustration involved in the job?

Tell her to just be herself, and always be as honest as possible. Knowing the features and benefits of what the Army has to offer is a must. There are always questions that you may not know how to answer, so tell applicant you will research it and get back to them. Then make sure you do follow up with the applicant. I recruited for 14 years, and if you tell an applicant something that isn't true, it's like poison!

Do you have any recommendations on places to recruit? When I joined up I was already fairly certain I wanted to do it, made my Recruiters job real easy. I know Colleges and High Schools sometimes have recruiting tents but they are not there everyday. So how do you decide where to beat feet?

Honestly to be successful you need to pull recruits from a vareity of sources. Schools and events are ok, but I found that getting the initial appointment and get them in your office or comfort zone worked the best. I always would encourage them to bring their parents too!
