What is the best way to prepare for an interview for your first 1SG position?

1SG Steven Stankovich maybe you could give some good advice to SGM (Join to see) on this question!

Not much more to be said here. I read the first 4-5 responses and couldn't agree more. Be yourself. YOU are the one selected for an interview, there's a reason for that. Knowing the creed, unit mission and how you can make the mission successful is a must. Challenges you've faced and overcome is worth discussing. Lessons learned can't hurt. Simply be the person they told to report!

If you are being considered then the positions conducting the interview process truly believe you already possess the skills required to fill that position. Always remember not only are going to be responsible for health and welfare of your soldiers, you will also be a direct link to their families. So a good home life also means a good soldier. Stressful home life means that the soldier is carrying additional stress and burdens to work. Which can affect the whole unit. Be proactive and identify these risk early on, observe your soldiers the signs will be there just camouflaged a little. Be yourself in the interview, know your unit's (Army's) mission and how to accomplish it (have a plan). You are the Senior Leader, Counselor, Tactition, and Trainer of your unit. Good luck. There is no better job or position in the Army than being a 1SG.
