All,

I am currently developing a training regimen that focuses on Negotiations through an interpreter. For the practical exercise portion I am going to use two Spanish speaking NCOs in our unit....

These are all refreshers, not initial training.



Man alive I didn't think there would be so much criticism for opening up a subject like this. I am just trying to tie up any loose ends and add...

I have the book. It was a good read. I haven't looked at it in a while. I will check it out. Thanks

Had to add an avatar, since the big guns were put on display!

You are spot on with your comments on training management. Few commanders are doing it. The excuse you often hear is "there is not enough time, we deploy in only a 10,9,8,7,6.... months" What it...

A collaborative effort by the PSGs and LTs in my unit have come up with a list of things they would like to accomplish so far.

CLS refresher.....scenario based
Land Nav....open terrain and urban...

Not NG. (Read Profile) We are getting your standard stuff. However, I would like to expand and go more in depth. Appreciate any help you can provide.

Council,

My unit is scheduled to deploy within the next 60 days. I am trying to develop a series of classes and readings for the soldier level. What I am struggling with is what I want them to...

Your response was almost identical to what I had written for my answers. So I guess I'm not missing the major points. Remember, I didn't write the questions, haha. It may be that somone above me may...

I just recently participated in an OPD on IO and FM 3-24. We were quizzed on a couple of questions.

I have read the threads on the troop surge and how it is not the strategy, but only part of the bigger strategy of engaging the population. With KIA per day averaging 3.52, which is the highest it...

I don't necessarily agree with everything in the article, but I have first hand evidence that the army needs to implement a system that would provide a variety of incentives to officers to stay in...

I for one have taken many posts & articles from here and have used them in training in my unit. The CDR, LTs NCOs and Soldiers in my Battery have benefited from this site to varying degrees. I check...

This is an excerpt from an article Army Times.

"Officer bonuses. Active and reserve officers could receive bonuses for commissioning or appointment, for affiliating with or transferring to a...

I appreciate all the help from you guys. I talked to the PSG who had the ideas and he wanted me to repost his thoughts. He said he needed a college kid to put into words for him (his words, not mine,...

Ski,

thanks for the advice, some times a guy just needs to bitch. It is what it is I guess.

Old Eagle, thought about that. It is one of the options I have been thinking about.

All,

I appreciate your feedback. Believe it or not, my unit has been abnormally successful in weeding out the bad. We have been able to chapter/not promote those who do not deserve with more...

RTK,

Thanks for the advice, I will introduce myself properly shortly. I think that maybe I clouded what my point was with some complaining. I do agree with you that it is the commands...

All,

I have observed this site for about a year now, just recently joined. This is my first post so bear with me. The topic I would like to bring up is the army's current state of developing...
