What can I do to broaden my knowledge base?

I'm 7months into my first tour as an AGR 92Y, some days I feel like I'm nonstop and others I'm reaching for things to do. Anyone have any schools/classes I should sign up for to broaden my knowledge?

Your best resources are your training NCO and readiness NCO. Learn DTMS, DTS, ATRRS, and IPPS-A. It’ll make you more of an asset to them and your unit and also set you up to interview well for future positions. Your first year or two AGR are a nightmare.

There used to be subcourses that you could do when I was in, if they still have them , that's the way to get extra knowledge on your MOS SGT Private RallyPoint Member

If you have facebook, I recommend asking to join a page called "I Corps COMET GCSS-Army Supply-S4-PBO". They do training videos covering CSDP, GCSS-Army, hand receipts, property management, maintenance, FLIPLs, as well as answer any supply questions you may have.

The 83rd USARRTC Readiness Training Academy offers some great course.
Look in ATRRS under school Code 921
I recommend USAR GCSS-Army Company Level Supply.
Then USAR Property Book Manager in the future.

I’m also an AGR 92Y. There is no institutional training that will help your job make sense in the AGR side. One of the best things that has helped me is going through block-by-block on your CSDP checklist, CMDP checklist, COMET checklist, etc. Once you understand the full scope of CSDP and know what you get inspected on, a lot of the other questions you don’t even know to ask are answered for you and things start to make sense.

Drill Sgt that shot me out infront of my peers. When I made E-8 some of my peers were just making E-6 or7. The best move I ever made as a 92Y
