Expect to be in charge of 16-20 Soldiers depending on the size of your sections. MLRS is only located at Sill, JBLM, Bragg, and Korea. Do you know where you are headed?

First PL time. I would ensure you had an additional duty and clearly defined expectations and goals. Your first CDR should do the same. Expect an initial counseling. Ask what your CDRs plan is for professional development. If I were you I would ask when the Section Certs are and Tables I-VI and backwards plan with your PSG every day to ensure your crews are ready.

Keeping your tracks running will be your biggest challenge. The most fun I had in MLRS were live fires. Something special about watching a six pack go down range in the middle of the night. Awesome thing to witness!

He knows the business. Ask questions and Don&#39;t stop learning. CPT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 02 Jan 2017 22:37:34 -0500 2017-01-02T22:37:34-05:00 2016-01-17T11:37:31-05:00
