SSG Private RallyPoint Member 7358147 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have read through TC 3-20.33 but it doesn&#39;t seem very specific. In the past we have used team drills and we have also created an entire exam from scratch (very time consuming computing everything). So basically...how do you create an exam and how do you go about grading it? How do mortar platoon leadership conduct the FDC examination? 2021-11-08T13:00:43-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 7358147 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have read through TC 3-20.33 but it doesn&#39;t seem very specific.

The response was usually crickets.<br />If they asked me why they should do a &#39;written&#39;, I would respond with, &quot;If you don&#39;t care enough to give me a written critique then I see no reason to pay attention .<br />A word of advice - it doesn&#39;t matter if things go wrong or right (because nothing ever over all the way good or bad) - someone will arrive after the fact and complain about how you&#39;re doing it. So you might as well go ahead and do it your way., because you really are dammed if you do and dammed if you don&#39;t.
