Any advice for a Signal NCO looking to submit a Signal Warrant Officer Packet in three years?

I was recently promoted to Sergeant 2 months ago, I haven't obviously gotten my first NCOER so with that being said I still have 3 years before I can even submit/finish my packet. I have NET+ and SEC+ certifications, working on CEH at the end of this month. And I am currently at an Army 25B broadening assignment. Any advice would be helpful.

The warranty officer candidate selection boards look for the top NCOERs, especially those with strong leadership and character bullets.

Talk to your leadership about your goal. Hopefully you have good, supportive leaders that will help you with your packet, and give you opportunities in a leadership role. Take the reigns whenever you can.

You are definitely on the right track with a couple of CompTIA certifications already. You should seek out a Warrant Officer for mentorship, as you will need a letter of recommendation from a CW3 or higher - along with a letter of recommendation from you Company and Batalliom Commander when the time comes. Keep your PT score up, add some college, and keep your evaluations strong and you will be good to go. Hopefully this helps.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member send me an email and we can talk. I did my whole packet while sitting in the same seat you are in right now.
