Anyone attending Drill Sergeant school in June of next year?

Yes SFC I am trying to prepare I have 6 months till school do you have any advice?

Work on your push up and sit up FORM. Crack open the Regulation and burn it into your brain. If you don't do a push up or sit up EXACTLY like it says in the book they WILL NOT count it. Make sure you can get at least 70 points in each event BEFORE you get there. The rest will come. Know the drill sergeants creed, soldiers creed, and army song before you get there. The first 3 modules are the position of attention, rest positions at the halt, and the hand salute. Know ALL of this before you get there. Day zero you will be called out, but if you know your stuff you will be golden. There's a drill sergeant school page on the Fort Jackson website. Get those modules!!!!! They are easy. You can also watch videos of drill sergeant leaders pitching the modules on Youtube

SFC (Join to see), just improve on your PT and if you can get a right/left seat experience as a (Turtle) in a BCT unit for hands on would be nice. Review your modules as depicted in another response; know the DS creed and history. Talk to DS on FB and RP to get more tips. http://jackson.armylive.dodlive.mil/about/armyschools/usadss/

SFC (Join to see) apologizes in advance this is to SGT (Join to see).

Thanks MSG

What do I need to focus on to be successful

Just be the NCO that you already are. PT should already be easy. Your going to do PRT while your there. You gotta know it inside and out, but its EASY. Modules can be difficult if you let them. It's the same old song and dance, be on time and in the right uniform. You will enjoy it. Hopefully you get good NCO's in your squad, it makes all the difference. I graduated in June and I still talk to my squad from drill sgt school.

Thanks alot

No problem. Good luck and have fun.
