Just try to teach the basics. Most units will accept that some will want to do it there way.

I am a MSG and the NCOIC of the G3/5 with the 78th Training Division out of JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ and we have 4 BN's of OC/T's that we are always looking for NCO's to fill vacancies in. We have units up and down the east coast, so depending on where you are located maybe you can join one of these units. We conduct 2 Exercises (WAREX and CSTX) {this year we are the lead in a DSCA (Guardian Response) Exercise with Army North and USARC} but our 2 main ones each year a the previous 2 and we do this for the reserves in our DIV. We are 1 of 3 Divisions with in the 84th TRNG CMD that do this and all 3 Divisions have units all over the US. So if interested let me know and I can get you in touch with my G1 moving forward.

I was with the 91st TSD and I wound up being the PC/T Instructor and Validator. If you enjoy designing training lanes and holding people to standard you will do fine. Personal experience is good to pull from but everything is standard driven. Some folks, especially the people you are training and the units you are validating. You get a lot of "we didn't do it this way in xxxxx". You just have to remind them that you are there to enforce the STP, FM, AR, TC, etc. I wish you the best and I hope you wind up in a good unit that is standards based.
