So I am a 74D and I am in a medical unit, I almost never do my job and I am one of my unit's commo guys. How do you stay caught up on your CBRN skills, when you almost never do your job? Any advice helps, thanks everyone!

I have been in the Army 10 years, and aside from my 3 years in a Chemical Battalion, I barely do my job.
The best asset I have found for staying "in-the-know" for our MOS is http://www.chemicaldragon.com.
The other things you can do is read your PM magazines, JACKS, your senior leaders, etc.
Hell, I am here for you. You can always send me messages if you have questions.

I've heard that your problem is pretty common. They say that's how it was in my unit before I arrived. But all the CBRNs in my battalion for all the companies work very closely together. It helps that we get a lot of support from the BN CBRN NCO in S-3. That was we always have word coming down from battalion to all our companies that ensures our commanders give us free reign to accomplish all we need and do our required training events.

First off SPC (Join to see) I want to commend you on leaning forward in the fox hole! You will succeed in this Army because you are thinking ahead and taking the necessary steps to succeed.
A key aspect that I always took a part of and then implemented was "Low Density MOS Training" in my Battalion/BDE etc.
We would take one or two Sergeant times a month and get all of the CBRN (NBC back then) Soldiers together and train on our skills.
I am sure this is something that has been lost with our OP tempo but get with you BN or BDE CBRN NCO/Officer and ask for training.
When I was a PFC I lead the training a few times and it was a great experience.

Go find your NCO and then see the CSM..tell them your concerns as it may affect promotion potential. Maybe pick up a new MOS that you are working in as a secondary/additional skill? Might as well get something out of it.

SPC Lund, an enlightened leader will listen and understand your situation if you don't com across as whining or undermining your supervisor. So please approach them as though you are seeking "wisdom of their advice" rather than pushing them off a cliff to action on a complaint. We all want to be helpful in a positive way; consider what might realistically be done and why things are the way they are --personality driven or mission driven? It's not unreasonable to seek to work in your primary MOS--however, sometimes people do need to shift focus a bit. When they do, make sure you can make the most of it.
