1LT Wolf, sorry, you're wonderful sounding program is about 24 years too late for me as I am now a 64 year old grandma running my grandgirls (21, 17, 15) through Jody calls and grass drills. Next summer I'll start the 5-y/o twin girls - surprise packages - on them, too, but insisting they do them correctly. Right now they're mimicking their older sisters. Best of luck with your other candidates!

Why a Drill Sergeant, very long hours, kicking people out for medical, misconduct, stealing, Sick Call Warriors, hold overs, very little to no down time, short staffed with in the ranks to support each other, and etc. These are just a couple I experienced while on the Trail in Missouri. DA selected me, I did not volunteer, I was voluntold! I have something to talk about today, but I would not do it again!

1LT (Join to see) - 1Lt I just look back at my career and my tours of combat duty and look at some of the new soldiers that are coming out of boot camp and maybe having to go straight into a combat situation their scared if they say their not their lying and how well the follow the experienced veterans that have spent the time to learn the knowledge I joined in 1989 and back then nothing was easy on us but I thought the DI'S trained us to use our heads first that in my opinion is what the new generation soldiers are lacking now and I am speaking from my experience I retired in 2014

SFC Jeff Couch - Hi SFC Couch ~ I understand your point of view, for sure.
Basic Combat Training is the first nine weeks of the Enlisted Soldier's military career. A successful graduate will have learned Army culture, values, and ethics, qualified with their weapon, become familiarized with a small variety of weapon systems, practiced warrior tasks and battle drills, and in the end have grown to become far more physically fit and mentally tough than when they began. The first nine weeks of a young Soldier's career introduces them to the battlefield-- then it is up to our Senior NCOs and Leaders to develop these young Soldiers into technically proficient, tactically trained, and fully-combat capable Soldiers. The influence, development and training received when they arrive to their units will ultimate prepare them for the fight, but it is vital the foundation laid in BCT is the proper one for our units--no doubt about that.
Thank you! ~ LT Wolf

I have always considered it an honor to have trained troops and I often think back and wonder if the level of training that I provided served them well throughout their time in the military, especially during deployments.

Ma'am,

I am currently in the national guard but looking to change to reserves when my contract is up so I can apply. I still have time so any information you can provide as to what I should do in the next year or so to prepare for putting a packet in, that would be really helpful.

I am in the same boat, National Guard but want to go drill sergeant (fully realizing my rank may be reduced as well). I have contacted an active duty recruiter and a reserve recruiter and have gotten nowhere. May I email you for more information/guidance as well, Ma'am?? Thank you in advance!

SFC (Join to see) - Hi SFC Boltz ~ Thank you for your interest on joining our ranks as an AR Drill Sergeant! I received a new military CAC and am having certificate issues, so I am best reached at [login to see] . Email me any time, and I will work to get you the information you need for your future transition. Female Drill Sergeants are valuable to our mission, and you will have opportunities beyond two weeks of AT to train & mold new Soldiers if you are willing and able. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
