When I was a fresh-faced Soldier right out of BCT/AIT, I got to my first duty station (Fort Hood) and every Thursday was dedicated to Sergeants Time Training. We would do Common Soldier Tasks (now called Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills), MOS related training, or things of the nature and I really enjoyed it. It was a chance for the junior leadership to take control and run things, as well as a chance for squads and platoons to really bond. Nothing else could happen on those days; no sick call, no appointments, nothing.
Do you feel the Army (or military as a whole) should bring back this way of training? Please take some time to expand on your answers if you can/will.

I never thought Sergeant's Time Training went away. Every installation I have been assigned to (with the exception of one) observes STT, there just isn't any uniformity (Wednesday here, Thursday there, done by 1500 at one, 16 00 at another). I personally think STT is an important training schedule item that gives the NCOs of a unit the opportunity to do so much to professionally develop their Soldiers, including coaching and mentoring. My personal opinion regarding STT is that "Big Army" should take note and formalize it. Specify what day, and the length of the time. That way, no matter what installation you go to, you don't get confused over when, where, or how long training is to be conducted.

It is one of the non-negotiable items on the training schedule after redeployment and reintegration.
