I have been put in for common core over 3 times. Every time I got rejected a seat. I don't think it's fair that due to some nco's not doing the required training that us junior NCO's should have to keep getting denied a seat.  Thu, 13 Mar 2014 07:07:32 -0400 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-fair-that-sgts-have-to-wait-to-get-the-common-core-corse-due-to-sfcs-and-ssgs-not-attending <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am a SGT(P) and have completed ALC phase 2 over a year and a half ago.

Good luck and keep the faith.</p> SFC James Baber Tue, 18 Mar 2014 20:21:29 -0400 2014-03-18T20:21:29-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-fair-that-sgts-have-to-wait-to-get-the-common-core-corse-due-to-sfcs-and-ssgs-not-attending?n=78665&urlhash=78665 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Fort Drum!  Miss that place so much!<div><br></div><div>SGT Newsome,</div><div><br></div><div>To answer your question, NO, its not fair at all when looking at it from your end.  As the E-6 or E-7 that has already done 15-20 years and wants nothing more than to retire if they are already not in the process, why would they care right?  There is no doubt that the OML list for ALC-CC needs some tweaking at the very least.  Like SFC Baber has already said, just be patient...  It will be that much sweeter when you do make 6.</div><div><br></div><div>So, I don't have any supporting material but I have heard that ALC-CC will eventually be known as SSD II thus eliminating the OML list completely.  This would obviously benefit you and all the fast trackers.  I believe it is supposed to take place next fiscal year but again, I do not have anything that validates that info.  If I can dig anything up on it I will certainly get back with you.  </div><div><br></div><div>CLIMB TO GLORY!</div> SFC Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 18 Mar 2014 21:10:56 -0400 2014-03-18T21:10:56-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-fair-that-sgts-have-to-wait-to-get-the-common-core-corse-due-to-sfcs-and-ssgs-not-attending?n=106977&urlhash=106977 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ive been told the same thing.  They are so back logged its not even funny.  And its not fair for the E5 and E5 (P) who are trying to advance.  They should have left SSD-II alone.
