 Shore Special Programs Detailers at Navy Personnel Command are looking for sailors in pay grades E5 and above to serve as recruiters. Recruiters are important to the Navy because we're always looking for the most highly qualified men and women to fill our ranks. Recruiters recruit men and women for enlisted officer candidate and officer status in the active and reserved components of the Navy. Recruiting duty is very demanding. It teaches you time management and prioritization unlike any other job in the Navy. Recruiting duty is challenging. It gives you a chance to step outside of your normal rating and show the Navy that you can do something different. You have future sailors to look after. You have a mission to obtain and you always have to be ready to go at a moment's notice because you're the face of the Navy. According to Custer, there are recruiting opportunities for sailors across all 26 recruiting districts throughout the United States. You learn things on recruiting duty that you will not learn anywhere else in the fleet. Most importantly, it gives a sailor the opportunity to give back to the community. It allows them to talk about what the Navy has done for them and promote Navy awareness within their community and give others the opportunity to serve their nation. The most satisfaction is watching somebody make their transformation into a United States sailor. When they come back in my doors and they salute me and they say, how you doing Petty Officer, instead of being one or, you know, that's a good feeling. For eligibility requirements, read Milper's Man 1306-964. Sailors interested in applying for recruiting duty should talk with their chain of command and command career counselor. From Navy Personnel Command, I'm Petty Officer Andrea Perez.
