@ltponcho.bsky.social: Is it just the ASI to get qualified, and how hard is it to get into the course? I just stumbled upon the ASI requirements last night, and interest was piqued.

Last night I had a panoply of odd dreams One, featuring the phrase "there is no criss-cross applesauce in the patrol base!" And a different segment of that same dream, where Arnold Schwarzenegger, Biden, and I went to Gettysburg to see newly opened Little Round Top No idea what this all means

Have you actually met Arnold? That second dream sounds really cool; have you done the Army Historian course, which involves planning a staff ride to Gettysburg, if memory serves?

I actually am an army historian, and it's as awesome as it sounds

Depends on how far you want to go with it - recommend doing the course for ASI and unit historian (Blackboard)

Nice, thank you for the info. Just found out the job/ASI exist, so not totally up to speed on possibilities, but definitely going to look into it.

As a reservist, I'm going to say that the 1 year deadline to complete the course doesn't seem like enough time; I'll try it again when I'm out of TDS.

Please do! We badly need unit historians

Seems like a fun, interesting job, really. I found the ASI info while trying to figure out how to research a defunct unit, so it seems right up my alley.
