Wait until you hit SSD 4. You want to talk about painful.  My advice for ANY of these self-development courses is get through them as fast as you can so you can jump to the head of the line for the schoolhouse.  Fortune may favor the Bold, but it loves the well-prepared. Get that NCOES out of the way.

I have finished all NCOES and completed everything thru SSD4. I am still E-6 and allot of us are waiting for something significant to get selected to the next level. The competitive pool has increased exponentially and it is not looking good for the Corps of Non-Commissioned Officers in my branch MOS.

Well let's see.....I did PLDC, BNCOC and ANCOC. SSD3 is not for me. SSD4 was made mandatory years after I completed ANCOC. These SSD's no matter the number are laughable at the least. Just tellen' it like it is.

I was told to do SSD3 in a week while I was in Afghanistan in 2012, all my free time was dedicated to completing this in a week. I thought I was done, I showed my modular complete screen and some certificate to my 1SG, he said I'm good. I don't think he, and I definitely didn't know what SSD was at the time.
Two months ago I got n email saying I'm one of the E6s getting looked at for E7 that have not completed SSD3, I called the help line, and they said I didn't complete it since I didn't do the 8 question survey in the end......super sad face

I just graduated SLC. I have completed SSD1,SSD3 and SSD4. I have worked in BN S-3 shop and know for a fact that you will have priority to go to NCOES schools when you complete SSD's. Just my two sense in if you want to excel that's the way to do it.

I'm still a SSG and have ALC,SLC and SSD 1,3,4 completed.

I know My Board File on Facebook was posting percentages which is probably what you are looking for but only for a select few MOSs. I know they didn't cover the CMF25 series and Gordon didn't release any Memorandums that I am aware of.

Every branch should publish percentages IMO

If anyone have access to CSM Ron Pflieger the regimental CSM PLEASE ask if the signal regiment released or will released a memorandum showing percentages and what we must do to be selected.

I've only seen this done with a few MOSs, I know last year I saw the tankers had one. It was fairly surprising tbh

It harder for some mos to get slots for SLC due to the
overall strength. I have SSD 1,3, and 4 complete as well WLC and both phases of
ALC. Called branch and was told I couldn’t get a slot for SLC unless selected
for promotion.
