Alright Guys, my staff board is tomorrow

[Wiiman741]

I've decided to go for S-1 of my Battalion.
I've studied the part pretty well in the LET book, and I hope to get the job.

Any specific things you guys think I should know about the job?

Prepare to be bored to death by the paperwork and messing with JUMS.

Also, prepare to be frustrated, as JUMS has the tendency to freeze.

Buffalo hit it right on the head, people have some of the most boring jobs in the battalion, but they are necessary to keep the battalion running. Also, in staff there aren't many promotion opportunities so you are going to be stuck at whatever position you enter as. I just recently got assistant s-4 and the previous s-4 and A s-4 left a mess so be prepared for that too. Best of luck.

I see.

And I don't have to worry about becoming stuck at a rank. The reason I need to get into staff is that my battalion is really messed up.

I was only 1 out of 2 LET 1's last year that achieved the rank out C/SGT.
This entire year there has been no boards and I am still stuck at C/SGT while mid-year there are already LET 1's with the rank of C/SGT.

Hm...

Well, good luck in your BN Staff. I hope you make C/2LT.

[Wiiman741]

Yes thank you. I just finished prepping my uniform.
And also, the rank is C/CPT in my school, not C/2LT.

[Buffa1oso1di3r]

Ah. You know what they say about assumptions, right? lol

*kicks himself in the head*

Good luck! I just found out tonight that i made Public Affairs Officer for my unit.

Good luck Wiiman, hopefully you will get the spot! Fill us in when you know.

And congrats Berry!

Well ,the board was canceled for today, with no rescheduling date.

A funny thing is that we were talking about one of the cadets who will probably be BC next year, and my AI said he would rather have me as BC than him. I was all like I'm still a LET 2.
