My last two PCS's I have gone to Infantry BCTs, which is fine but they only need Supply SGTs. Hanging out in the supply room is killing my career. How do I insure that I can stay valuable and marketable to the army.

Get your Supply room straight and compete for the supply excellence award. Even if you don't win, the preparation alone will teach you so much. Be the standard for the entire Battalion or BDE. Get your civilian Ed and PME complete. There are also strategic broadening oppunttunities out there for NCO's. Check out the HRC milpers. Volunteer for WLC of ALC instructor duty. Volunteer for AIT platoon SGT's duty. Go through the SGT Audie Murphy board process. Volunteer for Drill SGT or recruitor duty. Apply to become a Warrant Officer. We are always looking for great NCO's who want to become SME's and true game changers for all Commands.

Did you attend ALC yet? Try to set up connections and get in on the SGL game, volunteer for AIT PSG, try to get your career manager to place you as AIT instructor, or go recruiting/DS.
While higher level PBO assignments are great to distinguish yourself for SFC, try to look at the entirety of your career path to see what the board is looking for. Do you have access to the QM DA PAM 600-25 stored on Army G1 and (maybe) ACT?

Sir,
That DA PAM is an excellent tool. I used it too rate a 92F in deriving job description and possible assignements for his progression. I used it for myself as well.

I know your pain. Drop a Drill SGT or Recruiter packet. I'm Drill SGT School now. Also, try and get MRT, EOL, and SHARP under your belt. I'm the SQDN EOL and SQDN S4. I completed SHARP last December. The additional duties will should help a little too.

SSG (Join to see) , I agree having both EOL and SHARP is great but you can't sit in both positions at the same time. Personally, I would prefer SHARP over EOL but that's just me. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to go to the EO training. Would have been a lot of fun.
