I am a tanker who’s unit doesn't currently have tanks.So my unit is encouraging me to attend a school. What schools should I consider?

Not sure what your rank is but if it's SGT, if you haven't done your respective leadership course, that should priority 1. If you have then I might look into Master Fitness Trainer Course (MFTC), ACFT Level Certification, and/or Battle Staff NCO Course if possible. Those courses will make you more marketable and vital to your units readiness. If you aren't an NCO then disregard for now and apply to the other schools you've listed, but keep those three in mind because they will matter once you get your stripes. Good Luck on you journey soldier, Do Great Things.

Start by going to BLC, (Basic Leaders Course) In my reserve unit, we had limited promotion slots, so it was a requirement to make NCO, it's a great course that will prepare you. There are several schools like it as you work your way up the ranks but that's the best start you can do. It's good for promotion points if nothing else, and even if it's not a requirement for you to go before the NCO board, it's good to go to each of the leadership courses as soon as you can.

Thanks for the memory. In Vietnam I served with a ”brown shoe Army” Personnel Sgt. who reported to his Armored Unit in WWII as a tank driver. They also had no tanks. When they found out he knew what a typewriter was, he was made Company Clerk. Thirty days later, they got tanks, which he operated until he couldn’t walk, hear, or think. But by God he was a soldier and the Army took care of its own, so his records were reviewed and because he had been Company Clerk, he was OJT Personnel. I know he went from Vietnam to Ft. Lewis, WA. I suspect he retired afterwards. He was a quiet and decent man. What school? Things are so different now I couldn’t begin to guess. I can only wish you the best.

Cyberspace, you will get a security clearance and defend against worldwide threats every day. You will have a job if you ever leave the Army

Move towards learning a skill you can use in civilian life…

I would base it on what comes after the Army!! I would go engineer and heavy equipment operator or mechanic. Maybe night college for an engineering degree. Want to be a jumper? There are civilian Jumper schools out there, Its a lot easier without having someone screaming at ya. You can really build your future in the military, but only your personal drive will get you there, or not. You gotta plan ahead and have a goal for your retirement years. I left in 92 at 53, and I still work. (because I want to.)

Figure out what floats your boat and go or it. I have 4 mos schools, 2 college degrees, and volunteered for what ever military training came around as long as was at least 1 weeks long. Find out what works for you in service and after you get out. There is no civilian use for a tanker and contrary to what they all say alot of civilian companies do not want you because you will most likely be over qualified and to fired up for them. Education is the key for both military and civilian world. And not just college. Depending on what you want to do technical schools can work also.

Sounds like you have a "Rendezvous With Destiny".

Try going to an NBC school or course or combat engineer school.
Airborne is out we don't drop M551s anymore.
Ranger School is out it would only benefit you if you were infantry and most likely you would get washed out for being the odd man out.
Sapper School as well.
Sniper school will be very hard to just get in, your unit may not have a slot for such a position and priority will be going to Infantry, Ranger, EOD and SF
Cross Training with TOWs would be good or going to such a training course. Too bad we still don't have 106 recoilless anymore they were a lot of fun.
Forward Observer course.
Demolitions course.
I don't recall what courses that would help in bridge identification and fording areas. a scout course of some kind could help. Know what bridges Armor can cross over safely is always good to know. or what locations one can cross without having to wait for a scissor bridge to show up.

These are just ideas that benefit you and your unit.

Go to a unit that has tanks.
