What would you do if your Sergeant didn't know how to load a magazine?

First off a lot of leaders failed here.. second she failed herself third no such thing as a reservist anymore that can be deployed at anytime.. better start looking deeper to see what else she doesn't know.. like reading a map..

Still doing firing lines, eh? When I was at Fort Riley, I was running a pistol range. General House visited, he saw the first group go through and stopped everything. He asked, what is up with this ready on the left, ready on the right crap(I cleaned it up, considerably), I told him it was Forscom regulation. He said that it was all BS, he asked if that is the way we would do it in combat, I said no, so he said do it the way you would then. I turned the lanes over to the squad leaders and they told their troops where the targets were and when to shoot. I thought it was great, wish more would see it that way

I've seen a lot of sketchy stuff on the range being with Nat Guard, but never someone not knowing how to load a mag. That's BCT stuff..... Can they recycle her back to BCT to re-learn how to load a mag and go back through EVERYTHING about being a soldier?

All you should do is teach the standard, enforce the standard and move on. Its like finding a crack in your house... you don't point it out and let it get worse, you fix it and hope it holds because after all we are one team... one fight.

We even took our magazine apart and oil brush the inner workings of our magazine. Unbelievable.

I'm a little confused. Weather you are active duty or reservist, don't reservist go thru bootcamp first as active duty Marines and all other branches of the service do. I swear I new my M-16 A2 assault rifle better then anything. It is an extension of my vary soul. In my platoon in bootcamp, we didn't only disassembled our rifle blind foldered but behind our backs. There is nothing and I'm serious, there is nothing a marine know better then his rifle. Am I making myself clear here. And that soldier was a Sgt. That soldier, and I'm being serious, that soldier needs to repeat basic training. If the soldier doesn't have basic knowledge of their weapon. Then how is that person even a soldier. I see only two choices here, repeat basic or immediate discharge. And maybe discipline actions against those who promoted this soldier in the first place. Unforgivable.

~Facepalm!

take the stripes and give choice. out or take basic training again

Link no work

Not everyone is accustomed to firearms. However being in the military they ought to know their weapon. Perhaps it is because the only time she's ever fired a weapon was on the range and her mags were pre loaded. I don't know about you but I never see females on range duty.
