What does a Reserve Drill Sergeant need to do to be placed on orders?

I've tried everything. Using COC didn't work. All the way up to division. I was told NO every single time. Pretty messed up if you ask me. I believe the Reserves just want that number. They can say we have this many drill sergeants. Yet they don't use us. It's very upsetting.

This is a great way to ingratiate yourself with your COC / NCO Support Channel, do an end run on them . . . Not really.

You need to know what the AT load plan is for the year and what your unit staffing requirements looks like. Things a young drill sergeant probably has little visability of.

Also, with war fighting dollars winding down, reserve funds to support such a mission, especially in the 4th quarter of the government fiscal year may be few to nonexistent at this time.

It would help if the drill sergeant already has a working relationship with a unit at Fort Benning that could put in a by name request in for the Soldier with his command.

Funny you should ask - I just ran across a listing where the folks at Jackson, Benning, etc. need DSLs. Interested?
