Why is it hard to be enrolled for SSD and NCOES school?

For the past few years I've been trying to get enrolled for SSD2 and 3 and I've also been trying to get a seat for ALC with no success. First I thought the training Warrant Officer in my last unit was slacking, but I'm in a new unit and it's pretty much the same thing. Recently the training NCO told he'll put me on the list for SSD. Is there a waiting list that I'm not aware of? With the new promotion in place I want to complete all of my educational requirements for my rank so that I can move up to the next rank and it feels like they're making it impossible to do that. Is this just in the reserves or are people on active having the same problem?

It doesn't work in the Reserve. If they say there's "no funding" your pretty much SOL. It's annoying as hell.

SSD 3 should be easy as a click on ALMS. The sad thing is for SSD 2, your schools NCO should have enrolled you right away. I say that because ours schools NCO enrolls every NCO into SSD 2. Like my schools NCO, yours schools NCO or at least your 1SG should have put out every NCO needs to be enrolled in SSD 2. Hell, I know you're already a SSG, our CSM makes it a requirement for the board like BLC is for the E5 board

Thing is they stress to us that we need to get enrolled for it and complete it, but when we ask to be enrolled they give us the run around.

If you have a squared away schools NCO then he should enroll you directly because he should have that power to enroll you. If not then that's just sad because he's failing at his job.

SSG 2 was the hardest to get into. I had to email them directly. You have to have SSD2 finished preprocessor to going to ALC. SSD 3 will be automatic once you successfully complete ALC

I FOUGHT to get into it. I called HRC to get into it. When they told me to wait, I put my OIC on the line. She told them to do it. They said I needed to wait it would come eventually. She put a Major on the phone.
I had SSD2 the next day.

I called, e-mailed, and did everything in my limited power to facilitate this for one of my soldiers. In the end, he got in, and I got an a**chewing for "wasting" time and energy helping a soldier. Worth every second of it.
