<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You don&#39;t choose stations, you request battalions. A battalion can half a state or three states<br /><br />At least that&#39;s how it was last time I saw a recruiter packet

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I belief your assignment is &quot;The needs of the military come first&quot;, so expect intercity or rural locations until you can &quot;qualify&quot; for better placement.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>An area with a mild climate will better allow you to get out into the community. I was in Minnesota, where the winters were cold and long. It made things more difficult from October through May.The other 4 months were great.<br />Also, consider the demographics of the area. For instance, if you don&#39;t speak Spanish you may want to stay out of the southwest.<br />I always heard Dallas was the happy hunting ground, but that shifts over time. <br />Do some research and find out where the Station/Sub-station of the Year, Recruiter of the Year, etc., were for the last few years.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you request an area where recruitment is difficult and retention is low, you will most likely get your wish... The stations and battalions that process &quot;walk-ins&quot; are typically manned by 79R&#39;s. If you want to be a recruiter in paradise, your best bet is to: go where they send you, kick ass, network, and then convert to 79R (only after some successful quid pro quo on duty assignment). By that time you will be aware that if you trip on your ****, they will send you to a place were career recruiters go to die.
