So with the SFC board over, and everyone got the good news or the bad. What’s your next move? Rather that be for pushing and better your resume for the Sfc board fy19? With the SSG Promotable's, will you wait till you pin SFC to start pushing to get ready for the msg board? I’m not talking about ncoers. Just for example maybe working for your mosvm, BAIB, Senior instructor badge, jump master, things in that nature. Would love to see what everyone’s plans are.
For me; I PCS’d to fort lee when the board closed. I have earned my mosvm, basic badge, and one tech cert and as far as troops I got one troop to take the DLPT( I took the dlab to motivate him to do it) he did really well, me not so much. However, as a teacher I just teach Troops about their SRB, correspondence courses, for young soldiers going to their first unit. For the Ssg that just got promoted to Ssg i just tell them what I did to make SFC gave them my “continuity book for Sfc”

I tend to prefer for an NCO to be good at his/her rank than hyper focused on promotion. Why look forward to being a SFC/MSG/SGM if you aren’t any good at SSG/SFC/MSG and seemed preoccupied with checking blocks?

I never really looked for the next promotion. I was usually already serving in a position at least one grade higher, so I just concentrated on doing my job. I tried to do the best I could to support my peers and superiors, while leading and looking out for my subordinates. As has been pointed out, do the job you are being paid to do, and be the best at it that you can. If you take care of your troops and the mission, everything will work out.

That is solid advice I used and worked for me
One addition is never ask your subordinate to do something you can not do

I have found that focusing on you duty performance and attending required and enhancing programs all supports you leading your Soldiers. Those that are looking for their next promotion as they pin or prior generally fall to the wayside after E7. It is almost assured destruction as they forget why they are there I. The first place, to train and prepare our Soldiers for combat. It is their readiness that gets you promoted. Thank you for your service.
