What do you think weekends in the Army Reserves and National Guard should be called?
When I came into the Army Reserves it was drill and it made sense you practice and train or DRILL...during the weekend.
Do we really battle assemble most weekends? Most weekends tend to be filled with administrative items such as medical tracking and mandatory briefings and stand downs with the focus on metrics during these administrative weekends. So it is truly a battle assembly or a metrics assembly?

Sorry, CPT (Join to see), I'm going to have to go with SSG(P) (Join to see) on this one. I've been in a number of units over the past 20 years, and I don't think I've ever been told where the fire extinguishers are. As for staying hydrated, I would lump that in with physical training.

I really only remember the Fire Extinguisher thing being mentioned a lot in TRADOC (at both Ft. Benning and Ft. Jackson). And in their defense, there was a fire at BOLC.... so there is that...
What about one of the newer OPSEC blocks where it says, "Don't post stuff you shouldn't on Social Media"?

I have never heard of such a thing. In the Guard we just have drills. Does everyone in the Reserve also have a battle position. I am curious if the support units, Finance or AG, also have Battle Assembly.

CPT (Join to see) I like that idea, sir. I think I will be mustering from now on.

In my day, we called it "Drill". When did the Reserves change it?

1LT Thomas Fallon I think a year ago. It is only a Reserve thing. We don't call it that in the NG.
