Pretty disappointing podcast. It's just a audio ad for the VA. Too bad you can't hear the podcast as advertised about the veteran themselves.

During the late 90’s, I and my drill sergeants were assigned to Ft Jackson. We had to train a full cycle of female trainees. Need I have to say, training was a challenge for some of my drill sergeants and the Training Schedule. I Had to pull one of my drill sergeants and placed him in Armor.

Luckily, I had three Female Drill Sergeants that led the other drill sergeants to an Example to Follow.

I have to give the Female Drill Sergeants and the female trainees a Very Loud Intense HOOAH.
