I have attended the NCO of the month and quarter boards and won both but after reading the frago for the NCO of the year competition, I am now worried.

Big Sarge ,
Talk to your platoon sgt and 1sg about getting an MOI for the competition. That way you know what to study. Stay up on your current events. Be confident. You got this Sarge....

Going to CSM is good, but you would be skipping your whole NCO support channel..Talk to your platoon sgt and 1sg before you talk to CSM.

Having been successful with Sokdiers in my units I will share the same thing I told them. Backwards planning. Start with reviewing the last three years competition at Army level and walk that back you your BDE or Div. competitions. Study those areas and it will all come together. In factor that cannot be managed this way is the leadership factor. They will assess deeply your care and training of your Soldiers and their Families. Good luck and Thank you for your service.

Why? It is a waste of time, & effort to worry about trivial things that you cannot control. Pack your gear, check it twice. Study your material, make sure your blues are good and go do your best. Ensure you take care of the factors you have control over, worrying will only waste your time so leave that behind.
