Is anyone aware of if GM is still to critical of a rating that one could not apply for a special duty assignment? Thanks

Not sure if it is, but why would you not want to try? The worst they could say is NO. Worth the effort.

I have spoke with the detailer regarding Special assignments and also spoke with the Special Assignment Detailer. The only one that the Special assignment detailer will go to bat for you on is CC. Unless of course you make GMC then thats a whole different story. There are 5 GM1's still who have applied, been accepted and cannot get release for recruiting. Good luck!
