Think of it as an excellent opportunity to get tons of quality time with a mentor who has reached the pinnacle of an enlisted career. It will not be fun, probably. But you will get some opportunities to travel and well-positioned support for special schools.

Thanks 1SG! I've come to the realization that if I do get this job, I'll be on a microscope so to speak. But who said being an NCO is an easy job. It's what you make it, just like anything else. So I'll definitely use it to my advantage and make the best of it! Thanks though for the feedback!

Once again, I should have looked for your response before I inadvertently repeated it! We were thinking on the same wavelength 1SG (Join to see)

You might think the job is outside the scope of your MOS duties and does not present a leadership position but,,,,
1. You may be put in charge of the command driver section giving you a leadership opportunity.
2. Everyone has to do some form of staff time.
3. Having the senior leadership of your unit so accessible as mentors is an incalculable value for forming your leadership style for years to come.
