Yes we should. We need to get back to the old days when D&C was a everyday life of the military.

I wish we (as a military in general) did more drill.

I think it helps instill pride and professionalism (plus is looks good and is fun)

I definitely feel we should get back to the roots a bit with army tradition. I recently completed wlc and drill and ceremony seemed to be the toughest concept for me to grasp as bad and pathetic as that sounds. I never really march. We did touch on it in basic and ait. But being with my current unit the last three years I may have marched a handful of times and it was nothing fancy by any means. I think it instills discipline and looks so much better than a group of soldiers talking and walking out of line. Marching is after all one of the best parts to the over watching population. Uniforms and marching. That's what they recognize first. Just my opinion though.

I know when I was on active duty it was very important during the promotion board. If you were not good at it then it was a high likely hood that you will not get promoted. This should be done a lot more.

The wars are "over" and we're going back to being a garrison military. D & C will make a comeback.

I'm in the Guard and I implement D/C into our training schedule every drill weekend. For two days a month/two weeks a year, we "soldier"! We do squad and PLT competition every quarter, winners gets the 1SG trophy and bragging rights!
