As a former recruiter; who considered reclassification to 79R (permanent recruiter). I will tell you this; recruiting is not the regular Army, it requires that you are self-motivated, disciplined, and be able to work with zero supervision. Recruiting requires real leadership skills, some officer who probably never done recruiting told me that is salesmanship, incorrect! You cannot sell a lifestyle. Those who didn't like it is because they lack all the qualities I listed above. Recruiting is though, and you have no control over the applicants, no ucmj on your side to punish them. I am at your service if you need anything else. The horror stories are true Recruiting is not for the feeble minded.

Thank you MSg! That’s what I thought, that the ones that hated it or disliked it were in for more than they expected. Thank you for the info MSg !

If your not interested in long hours and having monthly goals that have to be met, I would suggest another field of endeavor. It has been a very long time since I was one, but I enjoyed it and if you work smart, it becomes easy and will give you many opportunities when you retire or just leave the Service
