What did she say when you corrected her?

That is a tool that a lot of instructors use so they do not use too many hand gestures to keep the focus on the presentation.

Having completed all the army training to be an instructor, and earning the Ordnance Corps Senior Instructor rating, let me assure you that an instructor must embody AR 670-1 and TRADOC Regulation 350-6. Hands in the pockets is a huge NO-GO.

I'm in this CBRN class for two weeks, and I corrected this NCO on her having pens in her pocket. She also had her hands in her pocket but I didnt mention that as well. Basically all ate up. Im on that if you walk by the standard and it becomes the standard so I dont mind correcting who so ever. She told me that intructors can do that. Im guessing it may be a policy memo that allows her to do so. Its really bothering me.

Last time I looked AR meant Army Regulation which means all uniformed personal wearing the US ARMY name tape. It isn't AR-IE (Army Regulation - Instructors Exempted) 670-1. ;)
