"you get to try every rate a little bit"?

Well... When I signed up, the recruiter told me " Oh yeah PACT is the rate for those who don't know what to do yet, you get to try a little bit of every rate on the ship then pick whatever the rate you want" All I get to try is BM and that's it, and when I strike "Oh there's no quota for FC BU or anything you want, sorry buddy maybe next cycle " 3 times. Is there anyone out there who actually had a PCAT life as promised by your recruiter?
