I'm close to making E-6 as an 88M. I want something outside of my CMF that could assist me in making E-7 and guide me into possible retirement.

Where is AIT PSG at? I prefer that over Drill and Recruiter. I was one in 2011-2013. U have a direct impact on the transportation corp. all 88 mikes come through 58th trans. It's only 3 companies also. You are managing 100+ privates everyday for 8 weeks. When I was there every SSG made SFC. Even one with 0 college credit hours. I wanted to be a drill when I was a ssg until I saw my first e-5 drill, then I was like nah. They have sgt doing this gig.

1974, Fort Ord, CA, we had a drill CPL! He was a DI in the Marine Corps and reenlisted into the army, lost one paygrade but was allowed to remain in DS status. He had made SGT by the time our cycle was done. And we had two SGT's that had rotated out of Vietnam into DS duty. Of course Fort Ord was the home of the 7th ID!

I got drafted for recruiting in my 5th week of DSS. Being a Drill Sergeant at McClellan was the most difficult and rewarding part of my career. 92-94 A 795th MP.

Either way is a good road to excell. It takes commitment and belief in what your are doing.

Schooling helps alot. Take any one week course they offer. I made staff when points dropped to 992.
