This is how infantrymen learned about their weapons in World War II

Thanks for sharing SGT Jonathon Caldwell When my Dad was alive he used to tell us about the training in Basic at Camp Hood during WWII. They had a major shortage of weapons for training and that they used brooms for manual of arms and marching. They only got to use the rifles for range qualification..

Every now and then I go on YouTube and watch old training videos. Seems they were more interesting back in the day. Anyhow, I've seen this one before and I like it.

How training has changed.
