Army times article about "NCOs want Sergeant's Time back". I think SGTs time never went away, NCOs just got lazier and want training to be handed down to them step by step. This is not gonna be a rant about Infantry always does SGTs time everyday, because it's our job unless there is a detail going on. When I was an S1 NCOIC, I closed down my shop every Thursday morning for either MOS specific training or Warrior Task training. Yes your higher-ups will interrupt your for "something hot the just came up" but as a leader you need to see that coming up or have a plan to take care of it, you owe that to your Soldiers. When I was a Joe back in the late 90's, my NCOs were excited every Thursday morning and always set up outstanding training, I try to immolate that, even though I myself fall into the lazy train from time to time, luckily I have fellow NCOs that keep me on my toes. Just my 2pennies.

Whether SGTs time is institutionalize is important because there are many units that support the post and can't shut down without official SGTs time.

Thanks for sharing SSG (Join to see). I never realized that Sergeants time ever disappeared. Sergeants time has been around for as long as there has been armies.

What happened was that the commander put it on his training calendar. That opened it up to scrutiny by the S3. That meant that he/she inspected the training. Some NCO somewhere messed up by not doing what was on the calendar and then it became a mandate. At that point, the officers owned it.
