Approximately three weeks ago, I received an ATRRS email, informing my I was selected to attend Drill Sergeant School in the summer. Additionally, I found out the family and I will be heading to Ft. Sill, OK, for a 24 month assignment. I'd always thought that DS was a voluntary assignment. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to accepting this new challenge. Are there any current and or previous DS' who are willing to share a few words of wisdom? Also, I was told to memorize the three modules; where can I find them? What is family life like in Lawton, OK?

I got a friend of mine, a 35M, who volunteered a few years back and was a DS at Ft Sill. I'd be happy to pass your email along to her if you would like. Her information would be about a year old, but it may be able to provide you with some perspective.

When they say learn your modules, that means memorized and understand. Don't cheat yourself on the APFT before you go, they grade to the standard. So make sure you pushups are good. Most people who failed the pushup event had a 90% or better on their APFT 30 days prior to attending.
