I recently PCS'd from a FORSCOM unit to TRADOC as an instructor and the challenges were immediately evident. I would like to hear from SM's that have been in the same situation and their experiences, both positive and negative.

Embrace the suck. Know that you are under he microscope even more. Consider it an office environment and obide by the rules of a gender friendly, private friendly, micro managed civilian job. Even as a Drill I feel out of the loop and I do Army things every day. You can stand out. When you do contribute it is usually on a greater level. I'm talking DA level. So attack the beast from the inside.

TRADOC is definitely not FORSCOM. Just don't get involved with new Soldiers, learn the regulations and policies, most of all don't get lazy. If you need to finish a degree or civilian certifications, this is a good time.

This is excellent advice. Especially about the degree or certification completion.

Ssg Shawn foster I am not tradoc but I on Gordon too. I totally agree. It is a different ball game. When we get to fort Gordon we get some of the same briefs about this being tradoc and about the new Soldiers.
