Tell everyone you were temporarily insane, pull your packet back, and stay in the real Army.

Pack your bags your going to school. You would have to be in a critically short MOS, to the point the SMA is tracking all 4 of you by name and duty location before that would take priority over DS, &amp; recruiter Response by SGM Erik Marquez made Mar 3 at 2017 11:53 AM 2017-03-03T11:53:43-05:00 2017-03-03T11:53:43-05:00 SFC J Fullerton 2389319 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>From what I understand, DOD is rebounding from a draw down and the recruiting mission has gone up. With an increase in the recruiting budget, that means more recruiters are needed in the field. There will be more NCO&#39;s getting that involuntary detailed recruiter notice in the near future. Volunteers approved by USAREC are pretty much automatic to be released by your branch, unless you are in a critically understrength priority MOS. Recruiting IS a priority duty assignment for the Army, especially during periods of increased recruiting mission and USAREC is being plus&#39;ed up with recruiter strength.

Regardless how balanced your MOS is or is not. Recruiting is a must in any branch of service and are needed. Yes, your unit could try to retain you, but USAREC is pretty powerful and besides it is normally just a 3 year tour. Unless of course you want to convert over to 79R full time as I did....good luck Warrior!!
