I'm reclassifying to a 92Y but I can't go to school yet. What can I do to learn my new MOS outside of drill?

I switched via IST. I have some supply experience but I still have much to learn. I really want to excel in my new unit. What can I do?

The best thing you can do is pick up and read AR 710-2, DA PAM 710-2-1, and AR 735-5. The biggest failures I've seen from Unit Supply Specilist at all levels is practicing things because that's how they've always been done although the regulation clearly states they're wrong. Can cost them and their commands money and possibly their carriers. This will also help you when you go into your AIT.

Make contact with the supply sgt of your new unit, introduce yourself and ask them if you can come in on a slow day and get to know the supply room. Most likely you will see paperwork that needs to be filed, clothing records that need updated, organization upkeep.....all the small little things that are hard to keep up with when you are working alone. Make note of those issues and when you have some downtime from training, offer to file/clean/purge....you will seriously be a lifesaver

I have been doing that. I was splitting with my new unit. I'm pretty close to my new NCOIC. It is great advice!!

- Read the regulations - AR 710-2, table B-1, has a list of all the tasks you need to do.
- Take the online training for GCSS-Army; this is the automated Supply System that's replacing PBUSE right now.
- link up with your Supply Sergeant for hands-on training. I've never met a Supply Sergeant who didn't want/need help.
- Read and learn the -10 manuals on weapons. Unit Armorer is a 92Y position, so...
