My volunteer recruiting packet was just approved; I’m still waiting to hear back on my 160th packet. Will I be able to decide which one?

Welcome to USAREC... you’ll need to resubmit you 160th packet in about 24 months after leaving Recruiting School. Good Luck!

You are locked into USAREC now, just the same had you been DA selected.

USAREC trumps 160th!

No, whatever packet is 1st approved NORMALLY takes precedence- but the 160 SOAR has a lot of pull.

Once you're tagged for recruiting your AEA code is changed to prevent any reassignment. Unless USAREC releases you (no chance) you'll have to apply to SOAR later on.
