For the first time, a female Command Sergeant Major has been appointed as Commandant of the U.S. Army Drill Sergeants Academy at Fort Jackson, SC. CSM Teresa King is a 28-year Army veteran. Given the history of the Army's Drill Sergeant program, including it's very rigorous and demanding training designed to prepare NCOs to become the number one trainer for all recruits, this is a very significant appointment. I wish her well.
