Dear Part-Time Army Company XO:
Thanks for visiting my website. You’re found this page because you want to succeed as an Army Company XO. If you’re like most folks, you’ve scoured the Internet trying to find resources to help you succeed, but come up short. You’ve read several manuals and books, only to discover that everything is written for your Active Duty counterpart, not you, the Citizen-Solider.
Maybe your Company Commander isn’t very helpful and hasn’t sat you down and counseled you or told you what they expect of you. Maybe you’re like a fish out of the water trying to figure out what your duties and responsibilities are. Or maybe you just want to learn how to spend your time, be productive, and work smart. If that’s the case, this training is for you.
My name is Chuck Holmes and I am the creator of Part-Time-Commander.com. I am a former Army Major and author of many books and products for USAR and ARNG officers and NCOs.
My first assignment in the Maryland Army National Guard was as a Company XO. I learned a lot in that job and had a successful and rewarding experience. I’ve taken my knowledge from that experience and created The Part-Time Army Company XO Training Course, a product specifically for National Guard and Army Reserve officers.
Why I Created the Course
I created this course to help other officers succeed in their duty position as a Company XO. I want young lieutenants to have a simple game-plan they can follow in their new job, and get a predictable result. I also realize that most officers in the ARNG and USAR don’t get very much career advice, mentoring, or guidance. I hope to fill that gap.
Introducing My Part-Time Army Company XO Training Course
This course is designed to teach you the 95% solution of what you need to know to be a successful part-time Army Company XO. Whether you are already in the duty position or will be a Company XO in the near future, this will be the only resource you need to get started right and succeed in the job.
By the time you finish studying my Part-Time Army Company XO Training Course you will be very thankful that you invested such a small amount of money to learn how to be successful in your job.

How Much Does it Cost?
The information in this course is worth much more than I am charging for it. If you were to search the Internet and try to figure out all of this stuff on your own, it would take you hundreds of hours. Fortunately for you, I’ve done that work for you, plus utilized my own personal experiences. For a limited time, this course is just $97.
Is there a Money Back Guarantee?
I offer a no questions asked, 30-day money back guarantee, because I know you will love the training. Plus, you’re an officer and your word is your bond. I know you wouldn’t ask for a refund unless you think the material is horrible.
Product Reviews
Still not convinced? Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some of our happy customers are saying:
I bought Chuck’s Company XO Course right before I started my new assignment as XO in a medical unit. The course was so helpful. I learned how to spend my time, what I should focus on, and how to work with the command team and AGR Staff. Without this course, I’m not sure how well I would have done in the job. Now, I feel very confident in my abilities and I am very proficient at what I do. I recommend this course to every other Company XO that I meet, because I know it will help them. Thanks, Chuck!

This is the best money I’ve spent on my professional development. I had spent a few months as a Company XO before I found this course online. I felt lost in my job. I didn’t get much guidance from my commander and I wasn’t sure what I should be doing. Chuck laid it all out clearly and explained what my job was, what my priorities should be, and how I should work with my Company Commander and 1SG. What I like about the course is that it is short and to the point. There’s no fluff. It’s a quick and easy read. And the CD is great because I can listen to it in my car on my way to drill weekend. Invest the money. You will be happy that you did.
