    It is a special duty assignment, and it is a four year assignment. Basically you are re-training for those four years, and when that time is up you have to return to your normal job. That is why it is called "special duty" instead of actually re-training (if you retrained, you would stay in that job as your primary AFSC).

    So, in your situation, it will not work out since you do not want to re-enlist.

    If you did want to re-enlist, and do your last four years or so as a recruiter, you would go to your Orderly room or Military Personnel Flight (there is a new name for it since I retired, but it is where you get your ID card made, where you test for WAPS, where you get your marriage paperwork at, get your orders at, you should realize where I mean). They have the office where you apply for special duty assignments, go talk to them.

    In reality it is not a bad idea to do another four years as a recruiter. You could get stationed at your hometown, get BAH, buy a house, have the BAH pay your house payment for 4 years, and you could be looking for a job when your enlistment is up--all while being in the town where you want to live.

    You would have no choice but to reenlist or extend your service commitment.

    If accepted as a recruiter, you must serve as a recruiter for 3 years after going to recruiter school
