SFC Cornelius Walsh 121503 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>While some of us strive for professionalism, we've all had our "special" Soldiers that leave us with memories, and hopefully, leave the Army.<br /><br />While going through some contacts, I stumbled across the name of a former Soldier who, at one point during a very ugly time in his short-lived career, actually engaged in the following exchange after threatening to 'take out' our Section Sergeant.<br /><br />MSG: Who do you think you are Private XXX?!?!<br /><br />PFC: You need to watch your back, I'm a trained killer!<br /><br />MSG: OH really, Private? And how did YOU become a trained killer!<br /><br />PFC: I know I am cause I went to Basic Training!<br /><br />While years ago, this may have been something defused after a trip to the woodline for some motivational PT, the shift in Army culture makes this a bit more frightening. So as Leaders, what have you seen/heard? How would you react? 2014-05-08T08:04:02-04:00 SFC Cornelius Walsh 121503

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Even today I would not be against taking this particular individual out in the woodline to practice his Army combatives/hand to hand combat skills. No weapons just fists and lots of trees to bounce him off of. Half hour later, we have both gotten a good workout, and he has learned that he isn't the trained killer he thought he was. Why is it that FNG's and attitudes seem to go hand in hand?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>While I was a Platoon Sergeant, we were at NTC prepping for Afghanistan...one of my Treatment Team Leaders got tired of hearing the truth about his performance (it hurt a bit). All of the sudden he tells me that I'm lucky these rounds (pointing to his M4) were blanks and not real....... Well,... FM 22-102 went into effect.......
