RECRUITING DUTY

Soldiers may volunteer for duty as an Army Recruiter

The Army is seeking Soldiers from Specialist through Sergeant First Class interested in becoming recruiters.

The rewards for Recruiters are many. Soldiers who volunteer for recruiting duty have the option of selecting their priority of assignments under the assignment incentive program. They first attend the Army Recruiter Course at Fort Jackson, S.C. The 53-day course has five major segments: introduction to recruiting, management, eligibility, prospecting and sales techniques, and communication skills.

Following the Recruiter Course is a six-month non-rated new recruiter program, during which the new recruiters sharpen the skills they learned in the course.

If you volunteer and are selected to become an Army Recruiter, you will be joining a team of professionals dedicated to manning today's Army in the image of what the Army's leadership wants the Army to be. You will become an important member of the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) family, and your job will require 110 percent of your energies.
