Who knows. You aren't like anyone else so even if they liked it you may not and vice versa. <div><br></div><div>Not all jobs in the military are ones that we like. The majority of the Soldiers understand they need to do that job and make it happen. I had the same answers on being a Production Control (PC) NCOIC. I didn't want to do it because others had hated the job. I reluctantly took the job and learned fast and became successful in that job/position.</div><div><br></div><div>Any NCOES instructor, replacement PLT SGT, WTB Leadership, etc will be favorable when you do it and you are successful.</div><div><br></div><div>Don't stress if others have liked it or not. Jump into the position, give it 110% and rock it. I am sure you will be successful and appreciate the time away from your MOS.</div> Response by SGM Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 21 at 2014 10:46 PM 2014-02-21T22:46:28-05:00 2014-02-21T22:46:28-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 151509 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SGL'S are not INSTRUCTORS. If you want a challenge and really be a instructor, be a AIT instructor and see how many hours it takes to teach a stranger, whom is new to the military, to be a Soldier and teach them their job.

It doesn't suck. Instructor positions always teach you a lot.

If you are not committed to very long hours, mentoring our future leaders, instilling/reinforcing discipline, standards and conduct, sacrificing any and all personal time, than an instructor is not for you. This position will enhance your career progression but Remember it's not about you, it's about those future leaders and our Army. Regardless of what others say, an SGL is an instructor. It's a tough job, but rewarding as well. Talk to your 1SG about applying. Good luck.
