I think it may be too late to do BSEP as an E7

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
