United States Army Drill Sergeant

Abstract

In October of 1989, I was selected to attend the United States Army Drill Sergeant School located at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Drill Sergeant duty is not something all noncommissioned officers look forward to. The one who wants to perform this duty often times volunteer, others are selected and do the minimum just to get by. I applied for this duty and was happy to be selected to join the ranks of some of the most professional Soldiers that serve the army. I prepared myself for the challenges of what some considered being the toughest school in the army. The United States Army Drill Sergeant School is a school of excellence with high standards and I was expected to live those standards.
