Hello all. I am attending SLC (FT Lee) at the end of the FY. I am a 92A. I’m just looking to see if anyone has any recent experience and what I can expect. Thank you in advance!

I would assume SLC is similar no matter where you attend. Just like any NCOES school there is plenty to do and a lot to absorb. Stay focused and be prepared. The welcome letter from the school house, or ATRRS course scope should give you a solid start.

That’s exactly what I am trying to do - prepare. I am just trying to get a head start so I can focus on class instead of trying to learn something I could learn now. Thanks for the response! Much appreciated.

SSG (Join to see) Did you get a welcome letter from the school house? I’m not a 92A so I can’t give you an specifics, and honestly I’ve never been to Ft. Lee so I can’t really help there. I’m just trying to point you in the right direction.

Prepare to be academically and physically challenged. Formations, classes, PT, community projects, and the most important - group interactions. You'll be doing discussion boards, writing an essay, as well as carrying out some leadership roles, just like in ALC. You'll be treated as an adult, I mean professionally and ethically. Prepare on how to write an essay according to APA standard, as well as be ready for multiple inspections, ASU, barracks room etc...Being a part of the group is very important due to peer evaluations in the beginning and in the end of the course, which will have impact to your overall grade. So clear your head, stay fit, brush up on Army regs and you'll be acing it. At least I have experienced this when I went through SLC at Ft. Rucker, AL, SLC for 42 series at Ft. Lee may differ...but concept is the same. Good luck and congrats!

Be prepared to be overwhelmed at first, they will overload you with assignments and attempt to apply stress. Just breathe, work in study groups, take one thing on at a time and you will do great. Good luck!

Thank you! I’m prepared for the applying stress part. Luckily that’s my comfort zone. I’m more concerned with what we will be doing, what kind of inspections, what I need to learn. Unfortunately, being in the national guard, we have a slight disadvantage since we do not do these things regularly. I’d like to brush up on them before I get there so I can focus more on my studies.

Just be sure to know the standards when it comes to your uniform, this about who you are as a leader and setting the standard for all other soldiers at a lesser grade. Be prepared to march soldiers, in ranks inspections, master of ceremonies, etc. A lot of it is just plan for the unexpected.

The test are essay based, if you have the talent of writing essays you will not have any problems.

Yo Soldier ... Obviously you’re doing the right things being a Staff Sgt.
Keep picking up Leadership guidance from good Leaders that “Leads The Way” ... and learn to “take charge”with Responsibility. You’ll fall down once in awhile, but get up, dust yourself off, learn from what just happened.
The Corporate World is the same. Don’t give up; might need to take one step back, but keep your sights looking forward and always “think outside the box”.
You’ll meet many type of Leaders but you’ll be able to determine the ones
with BS (and you probably have).
If you’re waking up every morning, Life
is good. Keep having fun and do your job the right way.
Hooah.

Thank you so much 1SG. I tend to pick and choose what traits I’ve liked in leaders I have come into contact with and adapt them into my own leadership style. 1SG Michael Anthony Gonzales
