Hi am an HM and a recruiter. As an Active Duty HM you will be considered a BUMED asset in the recruiting community. What this means is that BUMED (the owner of your billet) has loaned your warm body over to NRC (Navy Recruiting Command). Because BUMED is taking a gap in your billet in the fleet to give to NRC they have put stipulations on how you can be utilized. The main stipulation being that you have to help ensure BUMED makes their accession goal, so you will be placed on the Medical Officer recruiting mission.

One thing to mention about being an Active Duty HM recruiter is that you must be at least an E-6. If you wanted to try to get released to NRC as an Enlisted Recruiter as an E-5 good luck, I've never heard of anyone doing this. Especially with the timeline you are giving yourself. You may very well make E-5 within 5yrs but when you do you may be already obligated to orders elsewhere and would have to complete those orders and then hope that you can get orders to NRC.

We do have HM2/1s on Enlisted Recruiting but they are CANRECs (Activated Reservist).
