Tasked to go to recruiting school. What are some recommendations on areas I should request and what areas to avoid?

I have been in USAREC for almost 8 years I will give advise shoot me a message if you want. I have had a great time so far and was in 1st brigade and SORB. You being a 68W might have an opportunity with AMEDD. Hope all is well.

Do some research on where the top producing places are, and where the worst producing places are. 2nd Bde is in the South, and is traditionally the top producing Bde and region. 1st Bde is the Northeast and usually struggles. 3rd Bde is the Midwest, and does okay on occasion with a lot of effort, with the exception of Minneapolis Bn which is traditionally one of the worst in the nation. If I were you, I would base my preferences on propensity to enlist and history of high production and avoid places that are historically low producers and low propensity to enlist. Remember, on recruiting duty, your quality of life (stress level, daily hours, and occasional Saturdays off) is dictated by production, not the amenities in your area.

They do take demographics into account in assignments as well, not too many white guys in Atlanta or Camden for recruiting. So keep that in mind. You can also try to trade with people. Biggest hint for it and call USAREC G1 now to do it. See if there is a SORB assignment available, we do have detailed recruiters here and itll be way better than NPS recruiting.
The ARC is an incredibly easy course if you can navigate an AR or two. Bring your drinking legs too because its a massive party for 7 weeks. Bring your car or you're stuck with taxis or someone elses car.
