During the late 90’s, I and my drill sergeants were assigned to Ft Jackson. We had to train a full cycle of female trainees. Need I have to say, training was a challenge for some of my drill sergeants and the Training Schedule. I Had to pull one of my drill sergeants and placed him in Armor.
Luckily, I had three Female Drill Sergeants that led the other drill sergeants to an Example to Follow.
I have to give the Female Drill Sergeants and the female trainees a Very Loud Intense HOOAH.

Pretty disappointing podcast. It's just a audio ad for the VA. Too bad you can't hear the podcast as advertised about the veteran themselves.

Hey SSgt Eric Owens . First 10 minutes are always the news releases from the VA, similar to the 10 min of ads you would get on the front end of any podcast. Only difference is this info is veteran specific.
Diane's interview starts at around the 9 min mark.
