Actually study the material you're given. I've had two very capable, very knowledgeable, NCOs go and fail the admin portion because they just assumed they knew the material because they're awesome infantrymen. One guy failed because he didn't know how to adjust for windage on iron sights. So, don't be cocky

As Mr. Boyd stated, dobt be the arrogant infantryman as all others are. When it's study time, take time to really study with your roommate. Like REALLY STUDY. But other than than its a breeze. Take full advantage of walking on to other schools if you can.

Okay, don't ask Dr. Google but instead goto the ACTnow "Communities" page to find expectations and requirements. It was greatly revamped: We are now shooting the new .40 course of fire (no more iron sights), and we no longer specifically assess students on marching and PRT, but NOT knowing will affect your overall leadership grade. Sadly our #1 & 2 reasons for dismissals are APFT and HT/WT fails, and about 1/3 fail dismounted land nav for their first run. The academics require reading BEFORE learning in the classroom, because class discussion-facilitated by the cadre is THE BEST way to learn. We are the institution and you will go home more knowledgeable.

SSG (Join to see) - When are you arriving? One other thing I'll add is that you should try to jump on a follow-on course like Ranger, Master Marksmanship Trainer Course, Heavy Weapons Leader Course, etc. You'll get read on to all the options once you arrive but it's BEST to have your mind made up prior to arrival with unit concurrence (and physical knocked out if applicable).

Last guys I sent through were almost 3 years ago. Marching manual and PRT were big things for them. There is quite a bit to do in the Columbus/Phenix city area it just depends on what your tastes are.

SSG (Join to see) sorry I can’t help more brother. We didn’t get too many lower enlisted as cadre at 198TH. Most likely you can find the course syllabus on the Henry Caro NCOA portal though.

SFC James Cameron no worries man, any insight is better than nothing at all! Yeah I’ve been using Dr. Google, but think I’ll actually have to hop on a PC for some more
