What is the recruiting experience like?

I was a Recruiter/Station Commander and Sr. Guidance Counselor for a total of 15+ years.
Recruiting is very much what you make of it. You shoulder a lot of responsibility for your success. You must be willing to invest a lot of time and effort. If you plan on doing the 3 year tour, prepared to work hard the next 3 years, may have some late nights, early mornings, and you must be flexible!
You are going to experience a lot of rejection, but the people you do enlist make it all worth it.
My experience led me to a great civilian career. It's not for everyone, and as my First Sergeant used to say "It's all about attitude"

Most NCO's do not like recruiting fore the very reason your asking about it. All you hear is the horror stories. Most NCOs do not want to fail. They are stellar in their MOSs. Coming to recruiting is full of intangibles, and things that they can not control....it is a scary proposition...I you believe in yourself and the Army, you will succeed...good luck

It is good for career progression if you do not want to be a Drill Sergeant. It doesn't matter what anybody else tells tou, being a Recruiter is going to be like the rest of your time in the Army. It is what you make of it. You will have good leaders and toxic ones, long hours but not in the field... I like to compare it to a roller coaster. Some people love them, some hate them. It is based on the person and how you choose to work with the hand that you are dealt.
