Where are my Recruiters AT? Give me some pointers as I head to recruiting duty

Be opened minded to new things you dont know and take that with you to the field.

1. Maintain your integrity, by not entering the grey area!

2. Get involved in the community. It may take some time before you are actually effective, but the more the community knows you, they will start to reach out to you.

3. If you're on the engagement team (prospector), I highly recommend going to every high school that you cover, and introduce yourself, without asking for anything! The first couple of times you visit should only be to show your face any offer assistance. That is how you will earn school faculty respect. When they know you are there to assist in any way that you can.

4. Don't forget that the community doesn't need you, you need the community.

5. Take advantage of all of the resources that your battalion has to offer. Specifically awards that they can print for the students such as JROTC awards, scholar athlete, etc. They should also have Rock walls, trucks, etc.

Good luck, and remember it's not only your name that you'll be giving out all of the time, it's also the Army's. Recruiters truly are the first impression that a civilian with no knowledge of the military sees.

Do what you do with vigor and enthusiasm. More importantly maintain your integrity and never let down your guard. Recruiting is tough but if you accomplish the mission you are on the right path.
