I start training to be a supervisor tomorrow, and I've been with Kroger about 6 months. I'm not that nervous, but I just want Some tips on how to succeed in this position and how to deal with certain situations, so I'm a little jittery. I know there isn't too many optimist on this forum, but any feedback would be fine. Thanks in advance

I would assume he's referring to becoming a FES.
Just do your best, keep calm, make your override available and when you go on break leave your keys with someone you trust.
Keep track of breaks and never "forget" to give them out. Do your best to keep it around the two hour mark and learn who likes late breaks so you can plan appropriately. You'll be bombarded with a lot of information on the first few days so you'll NEED to either keep track in your head or keep a notebook handy about how they tell you to run reports, use the lotto machine, and how to use the Western Union. If you get into something you don't know how to do ask your store manager or call the help desk. In the end you'll be fine and do your best not to freak out.

I think the only department with a "supervisor" is front end. Which is basically taking responsibility for no additional pay.
You do, however, get to decide when you take your own breaks. That's a plus, I guess.

If they are working an 8 hour shift, I wouldn't give them a break at 2 hours. Four hours shift yes, but not and 8 hours shift.

It should be every 2 hours you get a break at 2/4/6. The way you're doing it is more along the lines of 4/7/8.25(aka time to go home) and that's exhausting. I understand that this is preferable for people who like late breaks, but not everyone likes that style of break. I, personally, do not like it.
In the contract for local 400 it states that breaks and lunches should be given as close to the middle of the shift as possible and that every 2 hours of extra work the employee shall be granted an extra break.

it's suppose to be every 2 hours. if you haven't been doing that for a 8 1/2 hr shift youre doing it wrong.

No, it's not wrong. It's just our contract. 6 hours - one 15 minute break. 8 hours - one 30 minute break. I forgot all contracts are different, sorry. So, every 2 hours would be wrong for some contracts. Guess that makes us both wrong. (But at least I admitted I was wrong and apologized)
