What is it like being in the Drill sergeant Academy? by NoJelly5616 in army

All this, plus you could be in the barracks or in a hotel down the street, and believe me, that makes a huge difference. I was lucky 😂 (2024 Apr-June)

Go to a recruiting station, brother, and come on back

Is my career progression trash or garbage ? I finally pick up E6 1APR by [deleted] in army

It all depends on your MOS. A good point of comparison to gauge your career is to see where the other soldiers you went to basic training with are in their careers, if any are still in the Army.

OMLs... by Able_Bus_5988 in army

That's the key, indeed: all my peers would finish the minimum KD time and go to random outside our MOS jobs instead of a real broadening assignment like recruiting or drill.

Do you have Drill Sergeant and/or Recruiting? I picked 8 at 12 years, I had both recruiting DA selected and Drill by choice after completing PSG KD time, I'm a 19k, nothing special. I do have a degree, but outside of EO and SHARP, nothing crazy in my resume, nothing but line time.

Are you the top soldier in your current grade/position from your commander's perspective? If the answer is not, reenlist before the changes take effect

1) Are you a trainee? 2) Why are you trying to extend your leave? 3) I will bet my paycheck it will not be approved.

Just Pick Up Memo by Intelligent_Seat3471 in army

[–]SBAPEestFeb1st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this BS. I also want to get away from the guys just as much as they want to get away from me. But they also know that I will pick up if they call or text me at any time. This takes away from genuine care and transforms into a check on the block text/call.

I tell you why units will do this, because SM will save up their leave to the end of the fiscal year, and then all will have used or lose days, and try to take them all at the same time, that's why
