I for one have never got to experience this since I have been in the military. There are probably many things that I have missed out on and valuable information that I have not been informed of!

They fell by the wayside for a long time due to the OPTEMPO units were facing, but should be brought back with a vengeance!

SGT Carpenter,
We conduct STT every week and as the 1SG My instructors brief me their training a week prior. I like to hear and see the same training their soldiers are going to receive just in case I could give a few pointers and to make sure they have all their resources. I also feel like if the instructor briefs me he/she may gain more confidence by doing this. It is also my job to make sure the Risk Assessment has been completed.

1SG.. I'm glad to hear you are keeping it alive in your company. Maybe the right person will notice your commitment to it and help bring it back!

STT seems to be an event on the Training Schedule that is becoming less and less significant across the Army. At my last unit, it was non existent...I NEVER in three years conducted STT( I was not a Sergeant at that unit). Here, we conduct STT, everyone knows what is going on on Thursdays..BUT..it seems as if EO, SHARP, UAs, side missions, etc. take precedence more and more. If this was a dedicated time, I feel as if the Soldiers, as well as NCOs would all benefit from STT even more.

It is supposed to be a dedicated time. We ran it from 0630 with combat-focused PT (ruck march, humvee push, combatives, ect.) straight to the location for training, ending when all Soldiers were trained. Afternoons till about 1500 was admin time for the junior and section sergeants.
