Why is ther such long wait to get ALC Common Core? Any ideas on how to get it?

Basically this boils down to a math and money issue.<div><br></div><div>There is only so much money to hire so many facilitators and each facilitator can only have so many students at one time - so, facilitator and facilitator to student ratio are our constraints.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is how mitigate the constraint, but we need cooperation from leaders and students.</div><div><br></div><div>Currently, ALC-CC students have 90 days to complete the course. It does not take that long, especially if we as leaders provide some duty time to get this stuff done.</div><div><br></div><div>If we "encourage" our NCOs to complete the course in 30 days (very doable, all of my folks are doing this now) instead of 90 days, we will be able to get three times as many folks through than what we are now.</div><div><br></div><div>Additionally, if you complete the course that quickly, you receive an "Academic Excellence Commendation" from the schoolhouse - pretty nice.</div><div><br></div><div>So leaders, let's encourage and enable our NCOs to complete ALC-CC in 30 days instead of 90 days and we will see the backlog disappear and we will see our folks being enrolled a lot quicker than what they are now.</div>

SGT VanDouser, I just got an invite to a facebook for HRC Military Schools Branch.  I checked it out and it is actually pretty informative.  they are taking time to answer questions about this, promos, SSDs and more.  I would definitely suggest you head over there and discuss.

A great many NCO's completely neglected their NCOES for years, and are suddenly realizing they can't get promoted without it. Hence the sudden massive demand. With the board coming up next month, I kinda saw this coming.
