Now that the FY15 SFC PSB results have been posted, what have you done to prepare yourself for the future? What have you told your SSGs

Are you just prepping yourself for FY16s board or are you looking more in the future? Are you going out and searching for those additional duties to perform or just ERB stacking? Did you just have someone in the CMF check your records or did you reach out to other CMFs for review? How are you working your duty position to gain more responsibility?

Seems to be if you're SAMC you're going to get picked up regardless.

This year was my first look with 9 years TIS and 3 years TIG. I have held and rated at two 40 level positions once as an E5 and once as a SSG with them totaling over two years. I served at the Battery, Brigade and Division levels. I have two Iraq and one Afghanistan deployment under my belt. Completed WLC, ALC, Rappel Master, Air Assault, Unit Victim Advocate, and multiple Air defense training course over the past four years. Halfway to an associates degree. Zero UCMJ or disciplinary issues. Board file was built and reviewed by multiple Senior leaders. And I still did not make it. As of now, I plan on requesting Recruiting duty so I will have some kind of force generation assignment. Hopefully next year works out better, but as Joe Dirt says, "Gotta keep on keepin on!"

I missed the cut off for this year's SFC Board by a month and it didn't really matter cause I was told by Branch that they were not going to pick up anyone this year. This is 2 year in a row that the 35P Branch did not pick up any SSG's due to over strength. Like in my other posts before on here I stated if you don't put yourself out there you will not be noticed. After that isn't that what we suppose to do as NCO's

If the SAMC board members knew about this I am sure his membership would be revoked. Bad leadership is everywhere just like terrorist they can get into anywhere by just playing the role.
