What are my best chances to get promoted to SSG?

I didn't know that there was a time limit for Team Leader. I was a team leader for several years either as a Corporal or a Sergeant. If your NCOER doesn't say from your reviewer "the Best Team leader that I supervise" or something to that effect, you are not done with your Team Leader time. You should be perfecting your skills as a leader and working with several other leaders, gathering as much information as you can so that when you are promoted, you will bring all that you know assist and teach your Soldiers with the issues that will be brought to your plate. Another respondant stated that hard work doesn't go unnoticed, and that is correct. Be the very best team leader that you can be and never, ever start thinking about yourself before you think of your Soldiers. Are all of you Soldiers prepared to take your position when you move up? If not, you have taks still on your plate that need to be completed.

Are your points maxed out? If not, what is holding you back from maxing them out? If you are unable to max out the PT or weapons qualification, and have the room to raise points in say education, I would look there.

Depends on the Army! You do control your career! I mean reclass if possible! I'm in the same boat as you! So we have to do our research!
