had seen on the army reenlistment board that they are offering a small bonus to reenlist for 79R shortage MOS, but i was wondering of u needed prior recruiting experience in order to reclass under that program
unless you are AGR, you have to be in a detailed recruiter slot for 24 months or i believe... 18? months with a waiver/recommendation.
79R's ( non-reserve) serve as on production Small station commanders, or , large station commanders.
I cant recall the actual regs, but, my acting station commander is considering reclassing to 79R and was telling us what he was told by a newly converted 79r.
If you ain't CAV, you aint....

Although detailed recruiters will be counseled no later than the 15th month, normal reclassification to 79R will be accomplished after the 24th month on recruiting duty.

I am just finishing up my time on recruiting..
Even if you could reclass to 79R with never being on Recruiting detail, I would strongly suggest against it. This is by far the most challenging job in the Army in my opinion. Some people are better equipped than others to do this job effectively.
Be prepared to work six days a week one some occasions, anywhere from 8:30am to 9PM. Just depends on your station and your station commander... how well you do with your mission and such.
Good luck in your decision!

they cant pay me enough to be a recruiter, but unfortunately, DA Orders override..
lucky for you about your MOS. i'd rather be an PVT scout than a CPL recruiter any day. Thank God I'm getting out of here soon and PCSing back to the line.
