I was assigned to assist a recruiter for a few weeks. It isn't something I would care to do again. It was very much like I imagine a telemarketing job would be like. Cold call a number, read a prepared script, and get turned down. Over and over. That's pretty hard, especially if one is strongly introverted.
All of those people suddenly being sent to recruiting school must have had someone recommend them for a recruiter position in their performance evaluation. Not just anyone can be a recruiter. I don't see how they would have been selected otherwise. It's just bad planning that led them to being ordered to turn up on such short notice. Bad planning reflective of disorder at the very top... like one would expect from a senile commander in chief.
Nope. They are lowering standards as much as they can and sending all qualified (at the lower standards) to USREC school. It is forced.
They will do additional assessments after school or after they report to school. So there will be plenty of soldiers that will be disqualified AFTER reporting to school.
