My SGT wants to become a Drill Sergeant and has volunteered for it but still hasn't been picked up. I was wondering how to help her get selected? If there's anything else she can do other than waiting for a "tap on the shoulder".

Interesting to see a SPC do something for a SGTs career track that the SGT should be doing for themselves.

I'm not sure if she's done this already, I just did not want to give the wrong information to her. Thank you for your input.

When I was a SPC/CPL team leader I had a Sergeant in my team some people need a little help! Or maybe Joe just wants to be high speed for his NCO!

There are a few problems with this question that concerns me. The most important of which is why is this young sergeants subordinate doing this research. This is not good business and in my opinion is not a trait that I would desire from a fellow drill sergeant. However that is not my decision to make. Unless they have changed it you must now be a promotable sergeant to become a drill sergeant. Tell your leader that she can contact the drill sergeant branch manager or ask her squad leader or platoon sergeant for information. Here is the drill sergeant web page.

If she volunteered and didn't get picked up something is there that they don't like. They want female drill sergeants like crazy. Maybe they are waiting for her to have more rated time. Who knows.
