<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Go sit in with the supply sergeant and lean hands on as time permits and become familiar with the property accountability regulations

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Beside reading the regs, ask if you can assist the BN S4 NCOIC. You can get a bird's eye view of what he or she is expecting of your Supply Sergeant. If your are not getting the mentorship from your unit supply, the Sr supply Sgt will be a good source for information.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My best recommendation is the supply Bible DA PAM 710-2-1

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Also ask for a copy of the CMD Discipline Program check list. The list is just as important it will give you and idea of what your duties consist of and how you are suppose to organize yourself... Also follow around your supply SPC get as much hand on before school.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Get with your current supply sergeant or adjacent commands and ask for advice and training. Read the regulations and insure you fallow the regulations, there are a lot of responsibilities in supplying. Financial and legal, good luck with your career.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was completely foreign to the Army when I joined the Reserve. And they took me in as an E-6.<br /><br />I took correspondence courses as well as laying low as I learned the ropes.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>- Read the regulations - AR 710-2, table B-1, has a list of all the tasks you need to do.<br /><br />- Take the online training for GCSS-Army; this is the automated Supply System that's replacing PBUSE right now.<br /><br />- link up with your Supply Sergeant for hands-on training. I've never met a Supply Sergeant who didn't want/need help.<br /><br />- Read and learn the -10 manuals on weapons. Unit Armorer is a 92Y position, so...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Shadow your Supply Sergeant. The books going to give you answers, but the situations you encounter are never going to be in the book.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are corespondence courses in ALMS and read regs. Ask about the forms used and hang out with other NCO 92Ys. Often it takes being in the organization to find out how they do business, but look up CSDP info and ask questions.
