Drill Sergeant Misconduct

Army Times has an article concerning the fact that Drill Sergeant misconduct at Fort Leonard Wood has been the worst in the Army over the past couple of years. Individuals involved were MPs, Chemical Corps and Engineers…each training female Soldiers. Leonard Wood and Fort Jackson, SC are the Army’s two training bases engaged in training of females. Such actions by a few worthless individuals is a stain on the reputation of the vast majority of Drill Sergeants who continue do the right thing. While the Army has increased the amount of leader training involving sexual misconduct over the past ten years, there apparently is a need to do even more.
