What is the best training you have ever recieved?

SGT Elphick,


Was that a range provided by Civilian Contractors of the Host nation?

Yes it was. They had too many "training accidents" though and cancelled most of the planned ranges with the 504th PIR

United States Army Drill Sergeant School. It is there where you truely learn what right looks like. There are so many units and Leaders that honestly do not know Drill and Ceremony or standards and discipline.

Lean Six Sigma will get you a job on the outside...

LMAO, I am an AIT platoon SGT and we see the Soldiers coming straight out of basic. Let me tell you, these are the most undiciplined Soldiers ever. We are basically teaching that here. Also, I have had atleast 3 Soldiers cant pass a PT test. They told me "SGT, I know I didnt even get 50 percent in basic but the Drill SGTs passed me anyway". I dont want to ever hear that Basic is where you learn "what right looks like" No disrespect, Im speaking from experiance. Basic has changes since the 90s and early 2000s.

^ Sadly very true.. I actually avoid the Quartermaster schools because I know I will be doing nothing BUT on the spot corrections, both on the students AND the cadre, and will recieve nothing but attitudes and eye rolls from the violator.. The Ordnance campus isn't as bad, and neither is Transportation, but QM makes me want to punch a baby... Some days it feels like they have a waiver in place for all Army standards...
