Replying to @MCoEFortBenning
@FortBenning Family, it has been an honor to serve each of you as your Command Sergeant Major. I’ve enjoyed every minute of the last 2+ years and you have absolutely made me better because that’s what @FortBenning does! I will miss each of and will never forget this opportunity.
The MCoE has been lucky enough to have CSM @DerrickGarner20 as a leader in our command for the past 2+ years. While we are sad to see him go, we know he is the right Soldier for his next assignment with Security Assistance Group - Ukraine (SAG-U). @TRADOC @curtisbuzzard @USArmy

Not sure who can say they’re spending the morning with America’s son’s and daughter’s, especially when they’re getting ready for jump #1 of ABN School. #BetterAtBenning @TRADOC @PaulFunk2 @TradocDCG @TRADOCCSM @FortBenning @curtisbuzzard

Keep grinding Drill Sergeant! These folks and many like them are why it’s #BetterAtBenning
Up, down, jump, climb. Drill Sergeants conduct confidence courses for #OSUT trainees their first week on the ground. These teach future Soldiers how to overcome physical and mental obstacles. #DSOY22 @USArmy @TRADOC @DerrickGarner20 @usacac @USACIMT @PatDonahoeArmy

Last event for the evening was the MCoE DSOY Board and we are rounds compete. Gonna be real interesting over the next couple of days. @TRADOC @FortBenning @PatDonahoeArmy @198thOSUT @197SLEDGEHAMMER @194thARBDE #NotComingToSpectate #ComingToWin
There’s more to training than just PT and marksmanship! Soldiers must know the doctrine of the @USArmy they’re serving. During #OSUT, Drill Sergeants brief trainees on the ins and outs of the Army. For their #DSOY22 boards this afternoon, competitors must recite their knowledge.

Trying to close out Day 1 with one more post to follow. Your MCoE and @FortBenning Drill Sergeants have performed beyond expectations. Looking forward to Day 2! @TRADOC @PaulFunk2 @TRADOCCSM @TradocDCG @usacac @PatDonahoeArmy @198thOSUT @197SLEDGEHAMMER @194thARBDE
Drill Sergeants are the first people trainees see and learn from as they begin their transition from civilian to Soldier. Take a look at what #DSOY22 competitors were up to in the first day of the competition. @USArmy @TRADOC @198thOSUT @197SLEDGEHAMMER @194thARBDE

Game on!!! DSOY Opening Remarks ✅ACFT✅Round Robin✅ and we’ll execute the Board today at 1400. #MyDrillSergeantsAreBetterThanYours#BetterAtBenning#ProveMeWrong
Holistic health and fitness is a key aspect of training. Successful Soldiers are physically and mentally fit, which is why most training days start with PT and why the firsts event of #DSOY22 is an #ACFT! @USArmy @TRADOC @DerrickGarner20 @PatDonahoeArmy @198thOSUT

Extending influence beyond the gates of @FortBenning. Well done @198thOSUT
1-19th IN BN supported 198th BDE and Muscogee County JROTC day 1 of events. It started off with conducting the Training Development Course, utilizing critical thinking skills, leadership and built unit cohesion to complete all stations. @198thOSUT #RockSteady #Brave&Bold

Absolutely looking forward to this event and meeting those that will attend. @USArmy @16thSMA @TRADOC @usacac @PatDonahoeArmy @FortBenning @FB_Garrison
Coming soon: the Maneuver Warfighter Conference. The event gathers senior leaders and SMEs from across the Army, sister services and from partner nations' militaries to address current and future issues affecting the warfighting capability, training and lethality of the force.
