Is it embarrassing to go to BSEP class as a E7 and try to raise your GT score with a bunch of privates just to go warrant?

I reclassified from 180A to 351M a few years back. When I got to Ft. Huachuca, I was faced with the prospect of having to take the entire 35M AIT in order to qualify in the new MOS. That’s 22 weeks in a class of E3s and E4s. At the time I was a 50 year old CW3. When I balked at the idea, a very wise WO reminded me that if I was unwilling to do subsume my ego and do what I need to master my chosen profession, perhaps I should not be a WO. If your embarrassment is an obstacle to becoming the best you can be, you mind is kicking your ass and it’s time to retire.

Any tools available to prepare you for any of the steps ahead in your career should be taken advantage of. Just think of how many vets/retirees from the mid 20s and older are in English 101 with 18 year olds.

If you haven’t already, eventually you will have to tell one of your troops to take his ass down to BSEP or, one of your troops will ask about going to BSEP. Either way, you can show them the ropes because you’ve been there.

Never too late for self improvement...if only for self confidence!

No it’s not and nothing wrong with trying to improve and trying to set an example for your soldiers to follow Hooah

Why would it be. You would send a Soldier if the needed a higher score for reclassification wouldn’t you.

Are you the E7?
