I am a PFC but I was in charge of my section as Ammo Section Chief and the way it sounds like I could be again. Will I acrew Chief time for that slot?

Not sure how you would document that without an NCOER. It may be a contributing factor to obtaining waivers to earn Specialist or possibly appointment to Corporal. As a Corporal it is,optional to receive an NCOER. I applaud you for leaning forward and taking responsibility for a big challenge.

Accrue

You will not receive official credit unless you receive a rating on and NCOER. Thank you for your service

If you are really filling that MTOE'd slot, it should be annotated on your ERB by the position. As far as acrew Chief time, i'm not sure what your MOS is or what your acrewing it for?

Probably not. Chief time accrual requires you to be at least a Corporal. SPC won't count so, if you're Chief, buck for a lateral promotion to Corporal and then you will rate an NCOER.
In any case, if you get that slot again, work your butt off and get your CO recognize your efforts with a local certificate of appreciation. It will count towards your promotion points for Sergeant and Staff Sergeant (5 points is better than a poke in the eye). Other than that, you will get some great experience and become a better soldier.

Well it gives you training, but doesn't guarantee you the slot. In the military you alway's train for the next level or get left behind.
