I am graduating from the 68C AIT program. I have earned many COAs, am on the student leadership board, have maxed out on civilian education and correspondence courses, am about to complete SSD1, and have a 230 PT score. How do I prove to my first unit at my first duty station that I am ready for WLC?

Pass your PT test, finish your SSD1 and tell them you want to go.

They shouldn't need much more than the OML

It sounds like your doing everything right except maybe patience. You have to have had more time in performing in your MOS and military duties as a soldier. Continue to do what your doing and show initiative and take formal and informal leadership opportunities, (formal is like one another said leading a PT session, but informal such a mentoring and supporting your peers.) You want to stand out, but also whats been said let your fellow soldiers take opportunity too. Be confident but not overly cocky; do your job help your fellow soldiers with theirs. As for PT keep working out. Maxing is great but the important thing is to keep improving. Nest goal try for 80 in each event. Good luck to you. From what you said, I'm sure your will make an outstanding soldier!

It only took me 2 1/2 years to get my stripes. When I was E-4 I could not say that I always steal the show but having a SPC rank gives you power over lower enlisted or low ranks below you. You should be responsible and take jobs or positions that nobody wants. If you want to take charge , take charge and I know Its hard because E-1 to E-3 they just follow but giving orders to another E-4 , trust me they will always say we are the same rank. It takes guts to lead and learn . Lead PRT, be a squad leader if your team leaders and squad leaders are out of the loop. If you cannot do initiative and leading, they will just send you with the rest of the herd.

All due respect.... You're not ready. You need to get your feet wet before you dive in. But you're on the right track for sure. Keep up what you're doing, be persistent and trust me they'll send you. I'm literally at BLC (not wlc anymore) if you have any questions let me know.

Continue as you have been doing. But also know you have not had a chance to perform in your MOS outside a training environment. It will be different. Now is the time to excel in your craft as well as a soldier. Believe me, it will get noticed. I'd give it 9 to 12 months

First great job doing all those things, stay motivated first of all and try scoring higher a higher or score(250 or higher). They will grade to standard there. Finish ssd 1 or you won't even pop up on the oml roster for the school.

Before I went to WLC, my unit got deactivated and some of us got sent to the battalion headquarters and the 1SG there gave us the welcome speech and us what were our expectations. Well I went right to the point. So I said to him, "when can I go to WLC because I don't have any intention of wasting my time while on the unit?". So I graduated from the July-August 2008 WLC class at Graf in Germany.
