start with schools required, ABIC, SGITC, OC/T, for most, then there is the MOS qualifier

SSG Villacis is exactly right. Contact branch and personnel with 428 FIRES. Let them know that you are interested in becoming an Instructor/Writer. I'm a Fires Instructor on the ADA side and I can tell you that the requirements are similar between ADA and FA. Once selected you will need the schools SSG Villacis listed as well as the FCOE requirements for Fort Sill. For Basic Instructor Certification you will need the Cadre Training Course (CTC) this course teaches Instructors about TRADOC Regulation 350-6 and the DOs and DO NOTs of Trainee interaction. This is required in order to interact with the Soldiers at all. After CTC you will need ABIC, as well as ASIST or ACE-SI (suicide prevention/awareness). Once complete you will perform a certification board. (a class from the Program of Instruction given to a group of your peers). Good luck pursuing this. It has been the best assignment of my career. The number below may help you find a point of contact at the schoolhouse.

SGT Alex Monreal - I was an AIT Instructor and have an answer for My MOS, don't know if you are looking for specifics on 13D or what...
First, you need to have gone through AIT for your MOS, 24K for me. That's Advanced Hawk (CW) Missile Systems. The CW is for Continuous Wave. Mine was 43 weeks.
Then, you need to have been deployed within your MOS and I was, then came back to Redstone Arsenal, AL and go through the 2 week MOI school. That's the ARMY acronym for "Method Of Instruction". Then you can go to the school and teach only what you specialized in. I was a Tracker I & II Specialist for the Hawk HIPIR radar. I was in a metal container where one side wall WAS the entire test console. I could hook up a Tracker i or II module to the desk portion of that wall and it simulated the HIPIR radar. The set of manuals was huge, 3 foot wide when opened and there were several manuals for each module. We had to use plastic screwdrivers and wear static straps on our wrist. Some of the adjustments were so wild that you had to turn one of maybe 50 screws (potentiometers) 42 times, counter-clockwise to get to the null point on the meter for that adjustment then start back clockwise until the meter moved to the setting called out in the manual. (These "vans" like I was in could be lifted by cranes and put on the back of a deuce and a 1/2 to go to field sites )
If you did all of that correctly and the needle never moved then you knew you had a blown resistor or capacitor or even a microchip. Out comes the soldering iron, the solder-sucker and you had to know how to read the colored bands on the resistor to get one out of the drawer for an exact match. Capacitor values were labeled and the chips had part numbers. Solder in the replacement and start that adjustment again. I know, I know, it sounds complex and boring but I enjoyed it.
So, long story short = Go thru school, be deployed, go thru Instructor School, go teach. You have classroom training and hands on equipment training.
Good luck!

SGT (Join to see) I would contact your branch manager. I will look and see what I can find. Good Luck! MILPER messages on the HRC site is a good starting point.
