A lot of personnel on the forum seem to indicate that if they had to join a service, they want to join the ones that make it a challenge to get through. Some people don’t want this experience. So Id like to see just how you think that training should be done.
Go ahead: describe in a short paragraph, what you think training for a recruit should be like. Tell us why your way would be better than the methods employed today.
Lets not think beyond boot camp on this one, unless you think that post boot camp training is just as important achieving your ideal training goal.
This is not a right or wrong way type thing. Discuss politely with each other why you think their method wouldn’t work, if you disagree with it, but no slamming.
My Contribution: I want the training to be longer: about six months, for all the services. For the purposes of training, I want that recruit to temporarily lose his basic civil rights, in order for those people to be legally available for the next part. I want those that enlist to know this fact, and that the following will be done to them in basic before they sign the dotted line. I want that TI or DI to have physical and mental challenging privileges short of homicidal abuse, so they can be equipped to really shake that recruit up so that his ultimate character can be revealed. If a person is revealed to have a character flaw that is not correctable, I further want a DI group to meet and make the decision to remove him at the squadron level.
I believe that a person who might not really want to join the military might back away from this, if an when they know its coming. Just my opinion.
