Why the Specialist Rank doesn’t Work
This episode I talk about providing customized advice via podcasts and explain how the Specialist ranks came to their ultimate demise, and why it was not good for the Army. IMHO, now is not a better time to bring them back, either. I introduce two new segments, This year in NCO History where I highlight a fun fact about NCO History, and then highlight a US Army NCO worth knowing about.
The NCO Guide is a forum for the host CSM (Ret.) Dan Elder and his guests to discuss topics of interest to US Army noncommissioned officers and to enhance the dialog between professionals, as well as offer advice and counsel in a no-nonsense way. Please feel free to add your own feedback here in the comments section or call our Hotline at (254) 853-4410, or use the Twitter hashtag #NCOGuide and tell us what you think.

Hi Mr Dan
I am listener from Singapore. It seems to me the pod cast for “epi-12-why-the-specialist-rank-doesnt-work/” is not working for all sources.
Thanks, we have since corrected that. Episode #12 is back online.
