Gyphon Group Mobile Force Protection Course down in Florida. Easily the most informative and realistic training I have had. http://www.gryphonsecurity.com/warfighter_programs/mobile_force_protection.shtml
No other company has more experience than Gryphon Group when it comes to preparing Americans to fight and survive in the mobile environment. Globally, 85% of all Asymmetrical Warfare attacks on U.S...

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.

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...

Of all the training that I have received in the Army, and it's been a LOT of training, I have to say that going through the United States Army Drill Sergeant School has been the best training I have received. No, I did not go through when we were treated as if we were privates again. It was a professional course. That in no way took anything away from the training through. We were expected to live up to and Be the standard. I remember watching my DSL stand at Parade Rest EVERY time he stood and spoke to the SDSL or the 1SG. That impressed me that not only was I being taught how to do something, I was being shown by the instructors through their actions. The training at the USADSS has made me a better NCO.

Army Reconnaissance Course. Non MOS Specific, but it is a course that is as hard as you make it. No completly right answer, it is how you apply what is taught to the problem. A course that makes you THINK!!

I have a few that are kind of non-MOS specific: Sniper School in 1984, USAMU Close Quarters Marksmanship Course-2001, Protective Services Training Course-2004; all of these prepared me for survival
And now some MOS (95/31B): Counter Drug Field Tactical Police Operations-1991, Special Reaction Team (MP SWAT)-1992, Tactical Response Team Advanced-1994; these also prepared me for survival in the undercover realm of drug interdiction.

Jungle Training in Panama 1997.....It allowed me to compete with my Infantry Brothers and provided tough realistic training. They never should have shut it down.
