Do the recruiters get any kind of training concerning the X-ray program or do they just hand them out and say best of luck?
The 18x contract is a special mission for USAREC
A recruiter get two "points" if they sign an 18x candidate.
Pretty much all they need is a 20+ year old individual, with a 75% percentile in intelligence
They're not trained to particularly care about anything above this
A recruiter might sign 50-60 individuals in their stint
They're lucky if they ever see an 18x contract
They can't know everything about the 100+ initial MOS options
