Alc is required for promotion. I am going to recruiting school and from what I was reading I can’t leave for any schools until six months of recruiting. Does recruiting school count as ALC? Also I don’t want to go to alc for my mos because I still have three years of recruiting and I’ll forget most of everything.

Actual current Recruiter here. Yes, if you convert to 79R as E5, the ARC counts.

I am currently promotable, I have ALC on my SRB, and I have never gone to any other ALC for a prior MOS. It automatically populated upon graduation. This is how it is - now-.

SGT (Join to see) - I have not seen a SGT become a permanent recuter that is normally a SSG or SFC however to be promoted you need the ALC for your primary MOS.

It is definitely not a substitute to ALC and as long as you're promotable there is a good chance you could attend ALC while on recruiting duty

Current E5 Recruiter. This is all speculation, and it's all rather wrong.

As of FY21 ARC counts towards ALC, that is all.
