Go SF or put together a warrant packet and become a pilot, or go commissioned
You can become a Jehovah Witness, they are exempt from the military under conscientious objector status……However if your already in the military you’ve signed a contract that is very difficult to break.
You can transfer into another career field, if you’re lucky.

Prove you are under financial hardship. I’ve known a couple of guys who got out of it that way. One of my recent platoon sargeants went in for a psyche eval and basically convinced them that he was unstable due to our last deployment. That could come around and bite you in the ass though if they consider you to unstable to continue to serve anywhere and med board you out.
Put a warrant officer flight packet together, I went to flight school with a handful of recruiters who did just that, to get out of recruiting detail. If you’ve got college under your belt you could go to ocs. Or you could always put a green to gold packet in and go to college, you’d still get paid and everything I think.
I really hope that this question didn’t come from a true military member. If so get out…we don’t need your sorry rear-end in one of our fine military branches.
Volunteer for a MiTT (Military Transition Training) Team assignment. That is the Top priority in the Army. I personally know two recruiters who did exactly that. And you can be 100% reassured that you will get deployed.
depends on how long you have been assigned recruiting duty most commands give you a 6mo window to see if can cut it and if you can not then they can terminate that and send you back. after that it gets real tricky because it does not look good on the station or the command so what happens the other people in your office will pad your stats just to keep you around. Look I know from experience that recruiting is tough esp during a war I was a navy recruiter during the 1st gulf war Jan1991-DEC1993 so I totally understand I would suggest that you have a serious heart to heart with your chain of command and let them know how you feel. My opinion is that most lifer recruiters are running from something depending on the service either combat or sea duty and they like to be in control and love dealing with young impressionable minds, so they have a phobia of dealing with a real deal person like your self. I wish I could give the magic bean but there are ways just be careful. I know I did quite well as a recruiter but I did NOT like it. I did wind up with a couple of Navy Achievement medals and several I love me placs and ECT. So follow what you truly believe in and should that be back with what you do full time then go for it. Most of all remmber one thing be honest with the young people and there parents always sell the service for what it is a job with good benifits nothing more nothing less do not write a check that your @!# can not cash I think you under stand what I mean.
Don’t meet your quota of recruits. You’ll be back in your regular job in a nano second. Old shipmate of mine was an E-5 in Kansas. Junior person in his office. He spent more time driving to appointments than he spent ON the appointments. Didn’t meet his quota and was sent to NAS Ocean, Weapons Dept. He HATED recruiting duty. Good feather in your cap if you can succeed at it. It’s not for everyone.
My brother retired US Army as a recruiter and was picked up as a civilian contractor doing recruiting (literally retired Friday and returned to his old desk in civvies on Monday). He lasted a year and quit.
Good luck!

No BS allowed!! Give up recruiting? Right.
Brother, I hate to tell you, but I was voluntold to be here on Recruiting duty just as you were. As to the answer to your question, you are screwed. Do your time as others before you have and then go back to a real line unit as I plan on doing. You are a non-commissioned-officer, buck up and do the best that you are capable of just like you were supposed to have done in your real MOS and you will survive.
