I am an SGT promotable.  I have already had ALC resident phase for my MOS.  I have been trying for some time to get a Common Core slot and I figured it should be fairly simple since it is online.  My S-1 submitted a 4187 to attempt to get a slot and in response I received an email stating that there are too many SSGs and SFCs that have not had it and that is why there is a backlog.  I know many SGTs that are having the same issues.  I'm just curious as to what your thoughts are on this subject.  Should the army emplement more classes to meet the high demand?

I do not know the merit of getting ALC CC but I have it as a non promotable SGT with two years left in the army.  If I don't make SSG by then, I am out of here.

The merit of getting ALC CC at least for me is the fact that you don't get the 90 promotion point for ALC unless you have finished both CC and classroom portion.  I am unfortunately in an MOS where I can be maxed out on everything, but if I don't have those point I cant get promoted.  I have been promotable for 3 years and the points have never dropped below 798.  I'm thinking maybe its time to re-class, but I hate to having almost 10 years vested in my current MOS.
