Wish they had something for company grade officers
My window for SF CA etc is over, AWG is about the only thing left I know of-
I attended the level 4 course last year. Actually thought about applying for the instructor position but I’m no longer elligible. In my opinion, they have a pretty solid course.
Its a great job- we are not looking for for the best shooters; or guys with a ton of marksmanship experience as a requirement. We are looking for NCOs who are motivated about teaching fellow soldiers and changing the culture of marksmanship training within the Army. Regardless of your believed level of shooting expertise the Unit will prepare you. You will have the chance to train with the top 1% of shooters the nation has to offer, while impacting the entire Army through updated doctrine and training. If you or someone you know is interested have them submit and application.
Dam I’m one year of service over.
Had this come up a few years ago, I would have LOVED to do it. Hell, I’d love to do it now. Sucks when they put those eligibility requirements on these types of jobs.
