Two Army drill sergeants died 8 days apart at Fort Jackson

Such a shame. In my three years as a drill sergeant at Ft. Dix, NJ I never heard of a single DS suicide. There were a few who got caught having sex with recruits. Their careers ended abruptly, except one female drill I caught having sex with a female hold over. Since basically she had already graduated and was waiting on her security clearance so she could attend the AIT, they didn’t destroy the DS. The moved her to a different unit to cover it up. Yep different standards even in the early 80’s.

Needs a thorough investigation

Such sad outcomes for Soldiers who worked hard to get to become a trainer of Soldiers. Prayers to their families.
