What are some other ways to become a recruiter?

I PCSed to Fort Bliss on December 2022, I am trying to become a recruiter and possibly change my MOS to 79R so that in a few years I can drop a packet for 270A (I have a master's degree in Legal/Law) When is the earliest I can submit my packet. I am trying to progress, but it seems like every time I try, I don't get even close, my branch manager never helps me, and units "lose" my packet, and really I think I am out of options. I'm willing to give this new unit a try but apparently, they have a policy where they won't let me go to military schools until I've been in the Unit for 12 months. Is there anyone in USAREC I can talk to?

Only two ways I know of. Volunteer and be approved or DA Select

Why don't you just try applying directly to the 270A board? You have a master in the field, that should make you a strong candidate for a feeder MOS waiver. Otherwise you're looking at waiting about five years. You have to serve an entire ASI4 tour before you can reclass to 79R, and then that's only if you were a successful recruiter.

Get a hold of the "Recruit the recruiter" team if that still exists....Volunteering for recruiting duty used to be fairly easy to do. Sounds as though your new unit wants to retain you atleast one year. Call the "Recruit the recruiter team to find out how early the window is. Used to be 6 months but that was years ago.
