What would I need to look into to build a strong Green to Gold packet for my rank. I Should be a SPC before I submit my packet. I am really trying to push myself to do whatever I need to get it. I understand I have a limited shot because the other candidates are E5 with deployments etc.. But I still want to do whatever I need to get into the program.

I have had a few of my Soldiers go OCS over the last few years. The packet requirements have been different in a few cases, but some of the big items were consistent high APFT scores, college transcripts and Command letters of Recommendation. My Brigade Commander wrote me a solid letter of recommendation when I applied for OCS. Best of luck to you and if you aren't accepted the first time, take the recommendations, better your packet and don't give up.

Do your job, excel where you can. Prove that you uphold the characteristics and traits of what it takes to be a strong leader. Take on challenging duties and assignments. Support your organization, max your PT if possible, live up to Army values on and off duty. Get some advanced education under your belt. Ensurebtge woman in your life is ready for the lifestyle of a Soldier by introducing her to other Army spouses and getting her involved where possible. There are very few leaders who are successful without a supportive spouse, man or woman. The rest will fall into place. These are all things you should be doing anyway. Thank you for your service.

These are all things I live by. I appreciate the guidance. As for my spouse yes we are ready to take this step in life. Regardless, I will do what I must to stand out and show my leadership abilities.

You only live once, so live it large today. If you are inclined to go Green to Gold then, nothing can prevent you from achieving your Everest, except you yourself. Never give up and keep focus on your objective; the finish line is already in sight. All the best SPC(P) (Join to see) .

Don't struggle; remember, where there is no pain then, there is no gain. Maturity comes with admitting you don't have a clue or are confused; most great veterans will assist you and even guide you selflessly. Tried it and received it James.
