My recruiting duty began in April 2003 with Harrisburg BN w/duty in the Carlisle, PA recruiting station. Being on recruiting duty allowed me the during my 32 months on mission. I joined USAREC as a volunteer recruiter at the age of 26, I was told how hard I would work the first year, then I would learn to work smart. I took that statement to heart. I learned how to become a smarter recruiter, being surrounded by other great recruiters in the station allowed us to become the Top Station for two consecutive years.
I was fortunate to be recognized several times over my three year tour in USAREC as top High Grad and New Recruiter in FY92, Top RA Recruiter in FY 93, and FY94 for Harrisburg BN to name a few. At my TTE review board my 1SG asked me if I wanted to continue in USAREC, my only response was, “Yes 1SG, my finger is in need of a new ring”. I was very fortunate to earn my recruiting ring in only 23 months in USAREC. My wife and I were sent to Fort Meade, MD along with 10 other recruiters across the US to be presented with our rings by Chief of Staff General Gordon R. Sullivan.
I was torn between staying in USAREC and going back to the Army as an 88M. I learned about a cross-walk program where I could convert to 00R as a Career Counselor. Submitted my DA4187 and in April 2005 I graduated the Career Counselor course. I continued my career with my USAREC gained skill-set in the Army as a Career Counselor. I eventually retired as the Senior Career Counselor for The Old Guard in Fort Myer, VA in April 2005. I have been extremely blessed as my two sons have also followed in my footsteps as Soldiers, my wife and I couldn’t be any prouder.
