It's time for the next video in the series, The Making of a Drill Sergeant, where we follow a U.S. Army Reserve noncommissioned officer through the process of going to The U.S. Army Drill Sergeant Academy at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
In Episode 2, Part 3, our drill sergeant candidate, Sgt. Alycia Perkins from Columbia, South Carolina, completes her second week at the Academy. In her video blog, she describes what it was like to learn about PRT (physical readiness training) compared to her experience with it so far. She also speaks about motivation and how every Soldier needs to meet the same standards.
There's a first full story on this 2nd Brigade, 98th Training Division Soldier in the Summer Griffon that was recently released (https://issuu.com/kci-mediagroup.com/docs/griffon_summer_2019_flipbook?fr=sNDU0OTE1NzExMw&fbclid=IwAR1LauDiYfKxqzH_4JFahDmURZRWBNxzB2oA3GgThDNdzbWCuSfm2BpMmLg), but the video clip series will have some interesting little tidbits that would not all fit in the articles. So make sure you watch to learn more about this Soldier and her journey on becoming a U.S. Army Reserve drill sergeant. And stay tuned for the next article in the Fall Griffon that will describe her experiences at the Academy.
