My questioned is targeted towards other 25W4O or 5Os, but I welcome any and all input from those across the force that have served or rated someone who has served in certain positions. I'm a 25W4O and I've held Network Control Chief and Platoon Sergeant positions and I'm currently holding a Detachment Sergeant position. What are some demanding/career progression positions you would recommend for a Senior NCO?

A recently retired CSM-turned-civilian-contractor that I instruct with told me that holding the position of Battalion S-3 NCOIC (a MSG position) as a SFC will be an attention grabber, along with being a Platoon Sergeant (FORSCOM or AIT/TRADOC), Drill Sergeant, EOA, AIT or NCOA Instructor, or Career Counselor.

SFC Watkins,

Thanks for the feedback. I have received a lot of the same from my battles, superiors, and mentors here as well.

SFC Gannon,

I routinely check my career map for any updates. Positions that I'm considering are IG and EOA because they are also in line with my civilian degree path. A follow on question to the one above is: Should I pursue additional staff positions for my specialty before going outside it again? I did very well out in Recruiting. Would do recruiting again, but only if I was getting ready to retire.
