Good afternoon Rallypoint, I just got my promotion in February and while I've gone through all the classes and asked advice from my leadership I was wondering if you guys had any advice on how to be a good NCO. I know the basics like take care of your guys and make sure the punishment fits the crime etc. But is there anything else you guys can give me advice on?

SGT (Join to see) I am passing this down, when I made SGT/E-5 May 1, 1994. My SQD LDR said not to make the same mistake twice, then it becomes a habit. I have used this ever since. So keep in mind :" NO ONE IS MORE PROFESSIONAL THAN I, AS A NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER I AM A LEADER OF SOLDIERS".

Let me ask you this:
When you were coming up in the Junior ranks, what was it about your NCOs that you liked and disliked? What was it that your NCOs did that inspired you? What was they did that disheartened you?
In essence, be the Leader to them that you WANTED a Leader to be for you. Be friendly but not their friend.
Once you can master that, everything else will basically fall into place.

Remember, be friendly, not their friend. If you try to be their friend, they will try to take advantage of you. Treat everyone fairly and the same.
