As my question stated. What would my chances be getting picked up as a 948D. I am currently a MLRS Repairer with four years served as a NCO. I've been in for six years going on seven. My concern about getting picked up would be my lack of NCOERs supporting my current knowledge in my field. Half of my career I served in an admin position (Operations/Orderly Room/Training Room). I am wondering if that would hinder my chances.

SSG Hutch, not sure if you've been to this site; http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/warrant/prerequ/WO948D.shtml

It lists very specific requirements for your MOS, especially concerning your NCOERs. also, these are "general " requirements; as you know, a WO is a technical expert in his/her field which requires extensive knowledge of not only the equipment but shop operations. My 3.5 years in recruiting did not help whe I put in my packet. Your best bet is to have a WO in your MOS review your records and work with you on your resume (also a good idea since you don't want to bypass your chain). At 101st, we hold a WO board where we do this for possible candidates to ensure a high selection rate of the best possible personnel.

I don't think your chances will be based on a lack of NCOERs or what position you were in when you got those NCOERs.  The Army is transforming itself again since we are pulling out of Afghanistan and that is affecting recruiting, retention, reclass, and retirement.  So I'd say if that is what you want to do then go for it.  All they can do is tell you no and then you can go forth and find NCO jobs that will improve your chances and try again.  Tenacity!

SSG Hatch,

I am here at Fort Hood also, I can have our BDE 948D take a look at your packet and give you his thoughts. Warrant Officers are so MOS specific that the more time you have performing that MOS the better. We do not really have the luxury of "learning" on the job.  You can contact me on global [login to see] .mil

Thank you. I am currently working on my packet. I didn't take it that way. Once I am complete with my Common Core, I'll let you know.
