Communication skills are not easily acquired. Even Marines who have excelled in their military occupational specialty in the past may find it difficult to learn effective communication skills, which provide the foundation for selling skills. This is something that they've never done in their life, and sometimes it takes a while for them to catch on. You just have to get them one on one most of the time. The school isn't all about selling skills, though.
Students learn what they can expect life to be like as a recruiter.
Topics discussed are advertising, financial management, stress management, recruiting ethics and equal-opportunity counseling. Additionally, the students must undergo numerous personnel inspections. Decoteau said he volunteered to attend the school. My intention is to get meritoriously promoted on recruiting duty. The students are also put to the test physically at the basic course, where they must take two physical fitness tests before graduating.
