How that iv gotten a few to respond. What going on is. I sent in a packet to transfer from the National Guard to a Army Reserve unit for my last 2yrs. They stop the packet till after AT. (27th May 2017) and don't wont me to leave. I been getting offers and offers E8 spots and now this 1SG job. We have a strength issue and I believe that's what is running this push to get me a good job to stay. Wanted to share this additional information.

They are attempting to stall so that you stay.
I guess it boils down to whether the offer they are making is something you want enough to abandon your current course. The stories are many, MANY about this kind of thing occurring. You might want to verify the legitimacy of the offer before pulling the plug on other options.

Depends. Many units used to have Senior NCOs that could take the 1SG place. This was just a temporary replacement until he came back. Also if there Isa shortage of E8s then again a temp can be put in. Usually only a promotable SFC could actually replace a 1SG

Take the job.Lead as you would want to be lead. I have sat in for 1SGs and Ops Seargents many times. It is a great learning experience.
