Hello all, I am currently available for waiver in February for
E-4. I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to stand out to my company COC more to get wavered. I have been putting in hard work since I got here with PT, studying about my training, and I even started to finish my college degree online. If there is anything else you could think of that can make me a better soldier to them please let me know, I'd appreciate any advice.

Short and simple? Be awesome. When I was the 1SG, I always kept tabs on my rockstars and my duds. Whenever I had waivers available, I always kept an eye out for my rockstars' eligibility. Just be awesome day to day. There's nothing "special" you need to do. You either deserve it day to day, or you don't. Don't try to fake the funk, that generally ends up coming out in the wash.

You competition is every other PFC in your unit that needs a waiver. If the other PFCs are going for Soldier of the Month you should be right there with them, besting them. Same thing for weapons qualification, PT test and anything else your Platoon Sergeant can use as demonstrated evidence with the First Sergeant when they are discussing who is most deserving of the waiver.

Every PFC who was up for one had to take a written test. I tied with some dude, so sometime in the middle of the night before a patrol, me and said dude got woken up by our platoon sergeants and taken to the 1SG's trailer. Then we had a "front leaning rest" competition where whoever could hold themselves up longest would get the waiver. I wasn't about to lose to the CO's driver, and left out of there with a waiver.
