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 am about to do the same! Did the course help you succeed in raising your score?

Education is nothing to be embarrassed about. You are trying to improve yourself, not your class mates. It's not competition, it's your education and and advancement. Go for it, you will be glad you did.

Today's downsized military is very competitive and every Service Member should ensure that they continue to grow professionally, which also means academically. A person should never be embarrassed for bettering themselves. If that is an issue there are many alternatives especially on the Web to help raise one's GT scores. But by attending class, and being a serious student, think of the real message that you are sending to those 'Privates'. Hopefully they get that message and also take the classes serious. Back in the 80's we used to send Soldier's to BSEP, and many just used it as a means of getting out of work. Hopefully the times have changed.

Simple answer, no, improving oneself is good at any time in life or career!

If it is, you better take a hard look at yourself. Something is lacking confidence or character wise.

In addition to my earlier comment SSG Johnson. GO FOR IT!!!! You will never regret becoming a Warrant Officer. Being a Warrant was the impitus for me serving more than 30 years. U loved every minute of it.

I'm not in the Army (obviously) and I don't know the requirements of the course but I do have a question. How bad do you want it? If you want to be a Mustang and you need to do some work to make sure you have the best chance of getting accepted to the illustrious Mustang ranks then GET IT DONE! Don't ever assume the answer is no without asking the question. Make them tell you no. Several times. And when you get in the course, do the work, put in the time, and excel because that is what Mustangs do.

I’m doing BSEP as a SSG as soon as I get back from this deployment.

They're just Privates. Not even real Soldiers yet. Their opinions are meaningless. They know nothing of you or the Army. You do you.

No. You do what you have to do.
