Are inscom foundry courses worth completing? And if so what rank is suggested/required to attend?

I’m on leave so I can’t have an in depth conversation about it with my team lead and I also didn’t bring a cac reader with me to look at it on attrs

Hey, I’ve completed a few INSCOM Foundry courses. Are you asking if they give promotion points? Anyway, I found them to be pretty useful and have helped me in my day to day duties. I’ve been wondering if they would be worth points as well.

Absolutely. Foundry courses are well worth the time. Attend every single one your unit will let you go to.

SPC Private RallyPoint Member you can purchase a CAC reader at Best Buy, or any other tech store. Definitely a good investment. Hell, they even make them for smart phones, now.

They are worth it helped me and my Soldiers during deployment. Shouldn't be a rank requirement from my experience.

Since you are a 35F, DIA courses may be more relavent, but Foundry courses are overall pretty good. Several of the classes have been revamped/updates within the last year; with a couple more getting final approval as we speak
