In Response to Ed :

Believe it or not, I HAVE attended PLDC. (to you civilians, that's short for Primary Leadership Development Course, AKA Sergeant School) In fact, I was one of those rare reservists that actually attended PLDC while I was still a Specialist. And I did pretty good too, I made the commadant's list and was the first female and, well, heck, I was the first soldier back with all of my points in Land Nav, in which I was gung ho and kicked butt!

And, um, I was the Platoon Sergeant the last four days of 2nd Platoon.

Don't ask me what happened to my motivation since then, because it looked like I was going on the right track and was all high speed gung ho Hoorah.

I'm on the Books to attend BNCOC this May (once again, that's Basic Non-Commissioned Officer Course, AKA Sergeant School Take TWO) So maybe I can pick up a couple pointers from them.

I think maybe afterwards, if I'm comfortable enough, I'll put in a packet for Staff Sergeant. I need to be ready for it though. Hopefully, I'll know when I'm ready.
