[@StillJustBob76]

As you were.

[@thomasflanagan7582]

I’m only a PFC. But I’m quite certain that my destiny is being a drill sergeant. I don’t want to sound corny. But I love coaching and teaching. Im excited and I’m prepared for the challenges ahead of me

[@TyTy_618]

Get it killer

[@brunovaldez7986]

Keep that energy going while you're still crawling. You'll need it when it's walking and running time. You got this

[@Not_A_JTAC]

You’ll ETS

[@SnareMax90]

As long as you keep that mentality .. you’ll do fine. The minute you give up, the dream dissolves… if you want it .. go and get it ! 💪🏾

[@devantewyche5457]

Love the video! My goal is to become a Drill Sergeant. Currently E4 promotable on my second deployment. Already did my board, already in a slot for E5. Hopefully getting promoted to E5 once I hit home all I need is BLC so fingers crossed I’ll get it when I get back. National Guard is rough though 😭

[@Real11BangBang]

Your story is exactly the same as mine lol

[@griffin_5979]

E4 promotable? You mean corporal?

[@griffin_5979]

@@Spiritfur I've seen only a few corporals but I've heard the Army recently made a change to where everyone is supposed to be promoted to E4.5 before making Sgt so idk I guess it could be different for every unit.

[@griffin_5979]

@@Spiritfur yeah that sounds like how things usually go, I bet it'll be years before any body even gets to see an Xm5.

[@marcoledbetter9800]

Honestly everything is 20x harder at the academy. Maybe it’s just the pressure of being graded.

[@MAGAwithVengeance]

Great video SFC! I go to Drill School at Fort Jackson in February!

[@oceangross]

looks like that turned out pretty well! haha congratulations!

[@boomerzombiefl]

Finally some one that understands teaching and attention span. GOOD JOB SFC 😎

[@crisn565]

I wanna go to drill sergeant school when I pick up my E-5. Any personal tips that you didn’t mention SFC?

[@NOsaint103]

Study the top 3 ahead of time. Know PRT. Study study study.

[@Not_A_JTAC]

In front of 400-500 soldiers what kind of freaky ass fill is that

[@joshcanzeri2420]

Head down in Sept. Start the residency portion end of July. (Reserves)

[@jasonjohnson8704]

My pawpaw was a DS long time ago,and during basic, I looked up too the ds. I have 2 years left, and it's my goal to re enlist and go to the academy. I just need to work on my voice. I'm too quite.

[@gotmurica6225]

I have been told I would be a terrifying DS(more terrifying then one of our most intense DS) by my battles while at basic, I plan on putting in to go to the Academy once i'm promotable

[@joiebiden35]

Where does the "He said it" come from? 3 year national guardsman here

[@HeresTheDrill]

Saying you learn at the academy when a drill says the name of the academy

[@skylar-jademauga-talamoa7026]

I got DA Selected for DS School in a couple months I like your tips Thank you

[@lucindagray8882]

I don't know if he's still there, but SGM Michael Berry was my DS, at Ft. Sill, OK, in 99... I saw a commercial a couple years back and saw him talking about running DS school... He was NOOO joke in bootcamp, he was tabbed out, so it wasn't a surprise that he moved up rank quickly and ran the whole DS Academy...

[@tiresom225]

Currently an e-2 but I joined not knowing what I wanted to do but I have found my calling I want too be a drill sergeant

[@christopherh7836]

The "he said it" and "stop" got old quick lol

Great video brother hoping to be at the academy by March

[@calambrito07]

Pacing back and forth on the lines on the pt field at the academy is how i memorized all those pitches, good luck if you’re going to blacksheep. Also learn some cadence before you go, they don’t teach you how to call cadence there.

[@The_Phill_A_Blunt]

I have a good friend and battle buddy that is a ds now

[@JeffStAndre]

i'll be there october. good tips thank you.

[@o.m.6236]

I graduated from the Army Drill Sergeant school at Fort Knox Kentucky in 1989.

[@jackhames3874]

Should be getting my school date in the next few weeks. I’m one of those crazy volunteers

[@HeresTheDrill]

Same here. Congrats

[@o.m.6236]

I also volunteered while stationed in Korea.

[@Loonyasclown]

What about if you want to be a civilian instructor for a paramilitary? Do you know about that or how to get on that path?

[@HeresTheDrill]

As far as I know there isn’t any civilian instructors.

[@King_Dav3]

Since its like basic, what awards are possible to win in the 9 weeks??

[@o.m.6236]

Honor and PT test when I graduated back in 1989. It may be different now.

[@King_Dav3]

@@o.m.6236 Ayyee appreciate that

[@brunovaldez7986]

Thanks for this upload, getting ready now.

[@Tamikaburrough]

Definitely a great video

[@NOsaint103]

Get on the stand

[@MiSargentoSV]

Im an E5 wanting to progress in my career. I been looking into volunteering to become a DS but I can’t find information on what to do to volunteer. Any information will be grandly appreciated. Thank you

[@HeresTheDrill]

Call your branch manager for your MOS and you’ll be good. Ask your PSG for your branch info.

[@MiSargentoSV]

@@HeresTheDrill thank you! I was thinking on doing that.

[@bananaman5554]

united states army drill sergeant school has an example on HRC with the PAR routing mailbox that you can use. For the class date, use A/O per the Academy G3. Might have to use some PDF skills to edit the boxes due to how they are, and you'd have to schedule some CDR and CSM time for their portions, but your leadership should be able to help in that regards..

[@King_Dav3]

Thank you for this!!

[@mgway4661]

As an infantryman, being a Drill does nothing for our careers. If you’re a POG it might but for us its not really a good look

[@anonymousm9113]

Depends... my experience is that Recruiter does absolutely nothing to help us 11-series and actually hinders us. I spent nearly 11 years as a SSG, having been DA Select for Recruiter a couple of years after pinning. The annual MOI for the E-7 selection board usually called for Recruiters to be favorable looked upon, but the AAR each year showed that SQI "4" (Recruiter) had lower selection rates than having no SQI at all. SQI "X" (Drill Sergeant), on the other hand, was usually second only to "G" or "V" (Ranger) in terms of selection. I was a DS on Sand Hill, getting DA selected roughly 3.5 years after coming off of recruiting duty. There were a bunch of 30-something SSGs with over 10 years of service sporting Recruiter Badges on one pocket while wearing the DS Badge on the other. Nearly all of us were finally picked up for SFC after a year on the Trail. I can understand the mentality of the SGMs/CSMs sitting on the selection boards, all 11-series and 18-series thinking that Recruiters are lazy liars while Drill Sergeants are the epitome of the NCO Corps in terms of discipline and standards.

[@cjspeaks7558]

Thank you for this video.

[@gayelle4933]

super great video! thank you

[@devinlindberg253]

Anyone else here because they are DA Select?

[@Incrediblebowlesmodels]

Yea they da selected me right before my market opened and I leave next week be kinda stressing about it

[@Fatty4Fatties]

Yes-😢 and I am anxious as hell about it.

[@NOsaint103]

R2 wasn’t helpful

[@juanburgos4668]

R2 is gone now lol

[@HeresTheDrill]

Damnnn RIP

[@ryuben3935]

So what goes on now I was just offered the opportunity to become a DS I’m damn near bout to cry never thought I would be gifted the opportunity to become a DS this is awe inspiring to me to be I can transform myself to who Ik I can become and to train others to reach their potential

[@HeresTheDrill]

As you wait for orders and welcome letters, start studying the mods and drill and ceremony. If you have questions call the school house and the drill on duty can answer a bunch for you.

[@NgJackal1990]

That’s why I stay away from promotion 🙂 mafia for life!

[@worstbehaviorstories]

Is it true they condensed it from 10 weeks to 5 weeks because of the whole COVID protocols? I just got transferred into a drill sergeant unit and haven’t met anyone yet but was wondering if the school was still condensed. I’m hoping not because I know that’s a lot of information to cram in 5 weeks vs 10. Lol 😂

[@HeresTheDrill]

I think it’s back to normal but call staff duty and the DS on duty will help.

[@Not_A_JTAC]

It’s the full course now
