Man go for it its embarassing not to go if anything ypur are setting a good example for soldiers to better them self . I took it August 2017 got my GT from 92 to 131 i recomend the Fort Irwin course and my wife also got 131 since i went wore soldiers had been motivated to go and with good results. Dont be embarrased to set the exanple for upcoming leaders even if it takes going back to basics .

It ignorance if you don’t take this opportunity to improve yourself as a senior NCO. You are a mentor to other therefore is the right thing to keep improving your career. Airborne

I don't know what BSEP is, but it's never to late for education. If someone is giving you crap for it, you're senior enough to assign that individual to shitter cleaning duty.

When does self improvement stop? Does the leadership within the chain and over years failed the Soldier? We have to take a better approach at things and not just what we see.

I’d be interested in why/how you came up with the thought of it being too late. “Know yourself and seek self improvement”....if this is true (which it is), at what point is it too late to better yourself when making yourself better usually has a direct and immediate impact on your Soldiers who might think it’s too late for themselves, but see a beacon of hope from you?

What was your decision process to come to this conclusion?

No but you can sign up at the local community college and take some basic courses. Spend the $35.00 for the ASVAB book that gets you tests so you can practice till you do better, or go to the base library and sign the same book out for free, and lastly many communities offer adult education courses, that are not college courses, so you could improve that way.

Never be embarrassed about trying to better yourself for any reason. I went in 2016 as a SSG, it was terrible. I literally couldn't remember how to do long division, and had to ask the instructor for one on one time so I could get it down again. Do what you need to do to get your score up, and meet the goals that you set. I went in just trying to get over 110 from a 101 and ended up with a 125 on GT.

No, I actually used it prior to retiring to prep for College classes. Saved me money instead of paying for prep classes the college gave.
