Is being a Brigade CSM RTO/Driver a positive or negative job for an NCO?

It's a great position to be in. Sometimes it can be a great career move.
Be on top of your game and be sharp.

Stay on your toes, keep your uniforms clean and pressed, everything perfect. You are now in the spotlight, but not in a bad way. You'll be highly visible for anything that could get you any awards or promotions. The very best of luck to you.

Can you give us an update to see how it is working out for you?

it will only be a negative thing if you make it, everyone here is right, shut up, listen and the experience will take you farther than you think. be the best damn driver he's ever had!

4 years ago i was a SSG and RTO for a BN commander ( let me remind you it is normally a PFC) i was selected due to be super high speed.

whether you are a over paid rto or driver. Be the best at that and let your NCOERS write itself. You being a SGT wont effect you for a SSG promotion board. If anything it will make the promotion board a walk in the park.

I've never been one, I'd like to know though

SSG Trevor S nailed it. Bear with me... As a 19 y.o. PFC with about zero judgement I failed to salute a WO1 as we passed each other on the sidewalk at my duty location in FRG. The CG of my former unit had a local policy of not requiring that W.O.s be saluted. I just took it for granted that this was Army wide. Wrong! The WO1 wanted to make a big deal out of it (wanting to meet with my COC, request an Article 15, etc) and I took it the wrong way. To CYA I stayed late in the afternoon at work (I was a driver in a brigade S-3 section), writing down the info pertinent to the encounter. The S3 popped into the conference room and asked what I was doing so I explained my predicament. He told me to just hang onto the statement and don't worry any more about it. I didn't know this gentleman personally. I just did a good job for his NCOIC on a regular basis. I figured this W.O. had me dead to rights. I was clearly in the wrong...but with extenuating circumstances and its just my nature to fight back. Two days later nothing had been said and this situation was eating at me. I'm walking down the same sidewalk and here comes you know who. I saluted and greeted him the instant we made eye contact. He RUNS over to me, shakes my hand and apologizes for his attitude the previous time we met. I assured him that I knew he was right to expect me to render respect to his rank and we parted on good terms. I'm thinking WTF, over... I don't know what the Major said to this guy but it obviously put the fear of God into him. The Major eventually made 3 stars. The way he advocated for me (probably having spoken only to my NCOIC to determine his course of action) was to me, stunning. It was absolutely unexpected (and perhaps undeserved but that's another discussion). I felt like my contributions were acknowledged and I felt appreciated. This was a turning point as I was planning to ETS that year and attend college. Instead, I re-enlisted. The Army benefited by retaining someone who later became an NCO that took leadership seriously. I benefitted not only by being able to have a career but by getting a glimpse into the value system of an extraordinarily good officer. Interactions with people who are going places in life will tend to benefit you as they shape your ideas about how to BE, KNOW and DO.

Not sure... SSG (Join to see) ATW by the way.... That is a CSM question... Everyone job is all about manner of performance. It depends...
