It is all about referencing. Know where to find the answer in the applicable regulation, and you will be fine. This goes for school AND life as a 42A.
Control F is your friend.
Keep out of trouble, no matter how bored you get. Fort Jackson is full of eyes ever on the lookout to pin a student to the wall.
Good luck!

Congratulations on the 42A reclass. (1) Keep an open mind and take what you learn there as a reference point. If you do not have strong soft skills like Word, Power Point, Excel or other Office related programs you will get better at it. Need typing skills? There are plenty of computer programs to help you. Start strengthening these skills. It will save a lot of time dealing with dead lines with quick fingers. :D. 90% of HRC is mental and thinking outside the box with daily solutions, so if you had Combat Arm skills you can use this to your advantage. I went through my reclass in 2009 from Combat Engineer and I had to go through a huge learning curve, but once learned what was needed I excelled. Most important pay attention to details, when you reference and cross reference and keep an open mind to learn. Always save your work and recheck your work and if you have time have a battle double check your work, once you hit your first duty station. You will be the SME regarding ERB updates, Leave's, SGLI's, NCOER's and other S-1 Matter's. Much is expected from you from those who come to your with their S-1 issue's. So be the SME these folks will appreciate and have a higher regard and respect for you in the end. If you have any questions. Use your resource's available on the net. There is plenty of information is out there to glean from, you just have to ask and retain. Also, sign up with the S-1 Net. I Hope this advise has helped. Good luck and May God Bless you with wisdom and knowledge to complete this school and enhance your next career step and life after the military.
