3rd YEAR DRILL SERGEANT LIFE STILL TIRING!!!

[@Texaswill254]

I'll tell ya what. I couldn't stand the recruit haircuts until my hairline disappeared. Now im rocking that baldness 😆. Glad to see ya in better spirits big drill!

[@ThirdsLynch]

Yea I feel like my hairline is fading now!! I kinda wanna try and grow it out.

[@hic7021]

Yeap, I've reached that point where it is time to get off the trail and move on. D.S. life is no joke, but now your next post hopefully will be less stressful and the path to SFC and MSG is going to open up to you.

[@ThirdsLynch]

Yep! We’ll see what happens. How long u been on the trail?

[@hic7021]

​@@ThirdsLynch My father was a drill for four years. Everything emotion you are going threw he went threw in Jackson. By the time he got to Reception Battalion he was closing on a fifth year as a drill and command ordered that he be sent to Germany. Mostly because you can't be a drill at that time past fours years. He got some hate from SNCOs about his medallion but it actually opened a lot of doors to CSM for him. You need a reset and after the stress of training troops your next assignment needs to be something that is going to motivate and hope you as you move into SFC and higher. My father was an Engineer and loved working in the field, but the higher you go after drill the more you will find a desk somewhere. Stay focus and motivated is a good creed because every soldier needs that when dealing with Army Command. Challenge yourself and look beyond the desk. You never leave the trail and it will be part of you until your last days on Earth. You are stronger and a leader then you where before you got on the trail. Now use it and SFAM !

Transported? I went through Boot Camp in Great Lakes in the middle of winter. We marched, ran, and PT'd in the middle of blizzards

[@ozmonkey6713]

Hes in charge of ftu were you listening ftu is a company that has injured trainees getting rehabilitated to go back to basic training I was ftu with a fracture

[@ThirdsLynch]

If some place is too far and we don’t have the time allotted to March there, we get transported.

@@ozmonkey6713 I'd heard but I didn't speak Army. Didn't realize that FTU was Limited Duty

[@ozmonkey6713]

@@Saanonymous80 okay my bad well from experience I got pretty injured with a few fractures in basic training not really sure how to happened just started not being able to walk got sent to sick call and eventually I was told I had stress fractures and a fracture in my left and right legs I was given the choice to continue training or get chapterd out or choose continue and than I ended up in ftu and was their for to long . Than finally is was time to back to basic , my first run of basic I made it to blue phase but not sure what happened but they gave me the choice again to get a medical chapter or start right at shark attack and I said fuck it I have been here to long I'm gonna finish this so started all over again the second time though felt like nothing to me it just felt normal it was honestly fun the second time .. got through it all and did about 8 years in active duty so ftu really is great for people to get a second chance

[@infospot4119]

Corrective action, Late Night GI party of the Baracks or extra guard duty at night. Taking away sleep is a great motivation.

[@jimcombs6760]

Have you ever been to Ft. Drum NY in winter? That’s where basic should be held, extreme training! Hooah!

[@klaus8910]

Hey Mr Lynch! Haven't seen ya in a while! Nice to come back again.

[@ThirdsLynch]

Thanks for stoppin by!!

[@jamesjensen6881]

My boy is in MCRD San Diego right now. Only 1 month till graduation!!!! Stay with it Drill!!! These recruits deserve your attention! Thanks for serving us Drill!!!!! Whoooooahhh

[@Mocha7770]

At least they're not mopping snow

[@starsgirlforever]

This is why I have a lot of respect for the military: you guys work hard!

[@defiantance]

And then when we get out, we are hardly working! LOL!

[@Catman1x234]

Wtf is pool pt ? Never did that

[@ThirdsLynch]

Pt in the pool. They do exercises that are lower impact but still allow trainees to get some kind of workout with flexibility.

[@christopherabbott3484]

I'm glad you've got good supportive supervisors. Keep up the good work, and get some sleep.

[@dannybaldridge3529]

SFAM Drill Sergeant!

[@josefsmith3140]

You look tired drill, Don t let it get to you take it one day at a time.

[@jacobbaker8252]

Hey man I hope some of that stressed is relieved. I can’t say I know anything about that but I can tell it sucks. Hope you start to feel better my man.

[@lettuce3696]

Tiredness never ends.

[@mcoleman6834]

Remember, Drill - DISCIPLINE FIRST! Stay strong 💪🏾, focused, and consistent. Some choose to play, thus messing with your training program. You know what comes next. They abuse the privilege, they pay the price! Train them hard, train them right! SFAM, DRILL! Put the fatigue on them!

[@christopherabbott3484]

It hardly ever snows here in my part of GA.

[@dustyvanbrocklin4731]

Inside PT in winter what the eff is that let alone in a pool. My drills would have me out rolling around in the snow doing front, back, goes. Also cell phones they won’t know the shear joy of standing in line for the pay phone.

[@GelasticSnail]

It’s ftu it’s for the people who got injuried in basic. Pool pt makes sense!

[@defiantance]

Thank you for bring back such good memories. Those were the days.

[@ozmonkey6713]

Does nobody listen to the video ftu is to rehabilitate injured trainees to get back to basic training

[@GelasticSnail]

@@ozmonkey6713 I spent a lot of time at sick hall cause of a broken ankle and the stories they told were wild 😂 always gave me hope

[@defiantance]

@@ozmonkey6713 In my time; back in '96, if you were injured you either healed at the unit or you were sent home to heal or chaptered out.

[@Sara-L]

Wait, what? No PT in inclement weather? DS, the Army's going soft! LOL j/k. Also, that tired feeling you get? It's what I call 'mental recoil'. You get that on days when you've been super productive. Just like your weapon recoils when you fire it off and eventually overheats, so too does your brain. You've got to find ways to deal with the exhaustion: change up your daily routine in small ways. Pop in a hot shower or two or quick power nap in between busy times. It allows you to 'mentally reset' and cope with what's going on.

[@GelasticSnail]

Drill Sargent, ftu is the best drama on fort Leonardwood. If you can do anything to improve it you’re doing a great job!
