The MTOE should tell you and the Retention NCO should share that Information!

There is a couple of different ways, talk tot he retention NCO, The commander or 1SG, or the training NCO. If they are not helpful you can call the unit's higher and ask what is open in a given unit. With Select, Train, Promote or what ever its current name is, a slot that appears open may be being competed for or offered to someone not in that unit currently.

Your admin nco should know. Sometimes they can be found on the M day opportunities memo the states put out.

That would be your SIDPERS troop in S-1. Although usually a company 1SG has that info as well.
