You may want to consider CBRN Warrant Officer. Do you have at least 1 year rated time in a verified CBRN billet?

In the role of a BN level CBRN NCOIC, yes. Documented in previous NCOERs and ERB. I don't know how much weight that will hold. I am definitely looking at that (CBRNWRNO) as an option. Even with being on the trail, I now have a better opportunity to pursue completing warrant packet. I do feel that going to a CBRN unit will greatly enhance my chances though before doing so. L5 or L6, I feel would put me in a better position for acceptance.

They were, at the same time, pretty selective, yet in great need for more warrants. Give it a shot. If not, wait a year or so and build your credentials and try again

You need time in a leadership position with a CBRN platoon. Are you L5 or L6 qualified? You might consider Recon. I don't know how you feel about Strikers, but NBCRV may be the thing. Otherwise look at decon.
Consider 20th CBRN CMD. they have units in Hood, Carson, and Campbell.

Its funny that you mention 20th, SFC. I was in the process of transferring to either 20th or the 82nd Recon Det in Carson before becoming a Drill Sergeant. I wouldn't mind going back to Carson. In your opinion, how's Campbell? If you've been.

SFC(P) (Join to see), I can't see anything on your profile except for your current assignment. Don't know if you haven't filled the history section out or if you have a privacy setting on. Hard to discuss where to go next without knowing what experience you've had prior to going on the trail. What level of leadership you've completed, and what commands you have been assigned to. No one should give you advice on where to go without knowing that information.

SFC(P) (Join to see), definitely need to get in a platoon in a leadership position. Thanks for updating the profile. You don't need any more time on staff. If you aren't up for promotion in the next two years, a Section Sergeant or Squad Leader job needs to be done. Step up and take a platoon right after that. If you aren't L6, then stick with the 20th. Keeps you in the branch arena. I am not sure how promotion boards look at Recon Platoons, but once you are done with the platoon you generally have to go somewhere else because it's back to staff at that point if there isn't a Chem unit on post.
