What can I do to remain in the military given that I can't go to NCOES and I have the 8k bar? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-can-i-do-to-remain-in-the-military-given-that-i-can-t-go-to-ncoes-and-i-have-the-8k-bar <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am AGR on my first tour and I can&#39;t do my REFRAD. I had surgery 6 months ago and because I can&#39;t go to NCOES school I have the 8k bar. Now I know that when my orders come up at the end of the month I will be out of the AGR program. I want to stay in but don&#39;t know what path to take. At this point any help is greatly appreciated. But What can I do?

It is a pretty simple course to knock out. I don&#39;t understand why soldier just don&#39;t knock out there SSD and then going to NCOES falls on to your unit to slot you and it doesn&#39;t fall onto the soldier unless you decline to go to school.

Although I’m active duty; I was set on ETSing so I didn’t finish my SSD2. Life changes, I want to re enlist but have to finish that SSD2. It’s relatively easy if you do the modules and test in one sitting. Best of luck to you.

Sorry if I am not clear enough.

SSD, SSD2? I’ve been out too doggone long. I know they changed PLDC to Warrior Leadership Course. I guess BNCOC to BLC?
