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

Well the post see.s to be taken down. That is probably a good thing.

Give the soldier weapons training then keep putting her online until she qualifies. Then i’ld keep scheduling her and others like her for ranges. One range rotation won’t be enough.

Sir, I'm gonna be honest, did not read all of the other comments. If I encountered a soldier who was unable to perform basic soldiering tasks, I would pull them off the lane and conduct remedial training.

The two of them is so lucky that they aren’t in my unit that’s for sure

The points up the fact that there is relatively little weapons training in the Reserve components other than annual qualification with primary weapons. If feel that every soldier should at least have familiarization training with all individual weapons - M9, M4, M249, M240, Mk 19 and .50 cal. Yes, it would cost more but it would be good for morale and get away from the "that's not my job" mentality of non-combat arms soldiers.

I’d kick her rear end off the range so fast it wouldn’t even be funny.

You gotta say FIDO,FUCK IT DRIVE ON,Teach the teachers is ok,back in the 80's I was a 60 gunner and knew my pig front to back and inside out,I was a E-4 and spent a lot of time helping E-5 buck Sergeants with that weapon when they needed help,either in Garrison or on a range!

First I would pull the NCO off of the line. Next I would have a session or corrective training and then have the NCO lead sessions of corrective training in front of the NCO that instructed the corrective training. I would then have the NCO assist in the ammo shed with loading magazines and then finally allow the NCO to get back on the range. BUT and I mean BUT all corrective training would be with other NCO's or by that NCO's self to ensure that the respect stays in tact for that NCO. Even if that NCO had a tough time on the range that does not mean that he/she should need to be put on display in front of subordinates. Remember, that everyone needs help at some point and how would you want to be treated if you were to need assistance. I also believe that safety comes first and after safety is accomplished deal with the ISSUE only.

Take out my knife and cut off their stripes! Oh wait, it's velcro so just yank it off!

She may be in an MOS and position that sees so little range time that her skills have gotten rusty. As another NCO, I'd take her aside for a quick training, have her load a few to make sure she's got it, and continue to train.
Later, a handful of dummy rounds, a few old stripper clips, and you do a little hip pocket training with the rest of the squad in case anyone else doesn't know how and won't admit it.
