cale started the topic What do you wish you learned at OCS/ROTC/USMA/BOLC about leading soldiers? in the forum Junior Officer 7 years ago
Leadership, what a loaded word. As junior officers the Army expects us to do it. As I think back to my OCS experience there is a lot about the day to day leading of soldiers that just doesn’t get covered.
I wish I had learned more about how to mentor soldiers. My job isn’t just about leading a mission but also about growing the soldiers I le…[Read more]

First, welcome to the profession! Being a platoon leader is an awesome experience. You will learn more about the Army in your time as a PL than just about any other assignment. I think its awesome you’re thinking ahead and planning.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head, it can be daunting to counsel someone who has so much experience. It…[Read more]

Alrighty…time for my FRG Hat!
As an FRG leader right now, the best thing I received from my predecessor was the leader continuity book. Ours includes the IRS establishment letter, account access memos from the previous and present commander, Assumption of Command orders, position assignment MFRs, and monthly audits for the account from the…[Read more]

ae_rollinson started the topic What's it like to work with Warrant Officers? in the forum Junior Officer 7 years ago
Warrant Officers…they’re an officer who has been around the Army for multiple decades, has spent time usually in at least two rank structures (almost always enlisted, sometimes as a commissioned officer too), and sometimes even in multiple Components (USAR, ARNG, RA).
A Warrant Officer (WO) doesn’t quite fill the role of a Commissioned Officer…[Read more]

chofusionism Thank you for the question, I believe this is such an important question specially for new PL as well as new BN staff (BN S1 can be OIC and will have an NCOIC that will need to be counseled).

Team —
As part of the prepping and winning the first 90 days of command, this post will discuss building momentum in your FRG. Is your FRG involved and do your Soldier’s families know about upcoming events? It is safe to say that having an effective FRG can help your command. This post will discuss 1) FRG principles and considerations, 2)…[Read more]

@pstofan, @rakimball, @chris_s – this is great input and advice for others!
I really like the putting 1SG’s sig. block on the Leadership Philosophy. It demonstrates unity, especially if you continually reference it throughout command (as you should). I also think you bring up great questions for reflection that provide a great framework for the…[Read more]

Okay, Brittany, here goes. Sorry for the delay!
BLUF –
It looks like you might have been denied transfer because commissioned officers need to be “fully qualifed in their branch,” which HRC defines as CPT post-CCC and KD complete. Since you’re going into your CPT board, you’ll need CCC and the key developmental position to be eligible to…[Read more] -

Good morning brittany.rodriguez
I just spoke with our BDE Retention NCOIC.
She advice that you apply at your 12 month mark, so 2020. Jokingly but somewhat serious, she mention that you could/should apply every year as their justification will change since the army is currently in a growing stage. Essentially big army is not loosing you as a SM y…[Read more]

The Modern War Institute (MWI) posted Gen. Thomas’ “13 tips for new lieutenants from the SOCOM commander” (you can find it here: https://mwi.usma.edu/13-tips-new-lieutenants-socom-commander/ ).
While all tips are applicable to leaders at all levels, I was struck by his first tip that discusses an LTs approach to the first meeting with the first…[Read more] - Load More
