I didn't know that there was a time limit for Team Leader. I was a team leader for several years either as a Corporal or a Sergeant. If your NCOER doesn't say from your reviewer "the Best Team leader that I supervise" or something to that effect, you are not done with your Team Leader time. You should be perfecting your skills as a leader and working with several other leaders, gathering as much information as you can so that when you are promoted, you will bring all that you know assist and teach your Soldiers with the issues that will be brought to your plate. Another respondant stated that hard work doesn't go unnoticed, and that is correct. Be the very best team leader that you can be and never, ever start thinking about yourself before you think of your Soldiers. Are all of you Soldiers prepared to take your position when you move up? If not, you have taks still on your plate that need to be completed.

Depends on the Army! You do control your career! I mean reclass if possible! I'm in the same boat as you! So we have to do our research!

I always told my troops to set thermselves apart from each other. What are you doing to make you rise above the rest?

I checked your points and did a 12 month average for SSG.
PZ average - 738
SZ average - 788
Like SGT Petters said, you control your career. If you want to fast track or look at a different field, I recommend reclass. Perhaps 31D which is within the same field. This is the 12 month average for 31D.
PZ average - 566
SZ average- 665
I wish you good luck in your search battle.

Check your awards, check your qualifications, check your education, PT, check your NCOERs. Look at where you can improve or add. Check the points and availability. Start asking about the promotion board. Do the same old---write down your goals. Short term, long term and what is going to get you there. Good Luck!

Make sure you prempitively have the next SSD level done, bring it up with your command and discuss furthering your career with them. I've found that often times command staff get busy but when you show an interest in your future they will too. Beyond that I can't say. That's a bridge I can't cross yet myself :)

The moment you pinned on SGT you should've been working on your SSG. People tend to say "Max your APFT score", I'll tell you, "do the best you can" because it's easy to say "Max" without knowing the individual's limitations. Max weapons score, awards, military schools, civilian Ed, and go to ALC.
Your promotion depends on your MOS cut off points, if you can, give a little more information on that so we can look at where you're at.

If you are now just looking you are way late. Look 2 ranks up and do those jobs and requirements. Lead from the front and you can't go wrong. Go drill while at FLW since you are already there. Ask YOUR leadership and follow their advice.
