I am a Reserve Drill Sergeant trying to get orders for as least a year to Fort Benning. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what steps to take and who to talk to. Thanks!

I've tried everything. Using COC didn't work. All the way up to division. I was told NO every single time. Pretty messed up if you ask me. I believe the Reserves just want that number. They can say we have this many drill sergeants. Yet they don't use us. It's very upsetting.

This is a great way to ingratiate yourself with your COC / NCO Support Channel, do an end run on them . . . Not really.

You need to know what the AT load plan is for the year and what your unit staffing requirements looks like. Things a young drill sergeant probably has little visability of.

Also, with war fighting dollars winding down, reserve funds to support such a mission, especially in the 4th quarter of the government fiscal year may be few to nonexistent at this time.

It would help if the drill sergeant already has a working relationship with a unit at Fort Benning that could put in a by name request in for the Soldier with his command.

Funny you should ask - I just ran across a listing where the folks at Jackson, Benning, etc. need DSLs. Interested?
