I was hit with orders to recruiting command while assigned to 3rd Ranger Bn. I was crushed. The chain of command got me out of it once, but the second time I had to go. It sucked allot. I was a SSG then, close to be being selected for SFC. I was called on the carpet often. My SERE training came in very handy. I just kept thinking about being in my happy place. I was threatened with losing stripes, money, whatever. Bad NCOER, I didn't care. A bad NCOER for recruiting, I had three smoking hot NCOERs written by some of the finest infantrymen in the world. I didn't give a shit about anything recruiting command could threaten me with. It was a long three years, and yes I did loose a rank. I went back to the regiment, got my rank back and caught up with my peers.
After being chewed up and spit out by recruiting command, my advice for recruiters is to work hard, don't lie and don't let recruiting command get to you. Eventually it will be over, and whatever they did to you can be undone after you get back to the warfighting Army. F-ck 'em!
