Why Do Some Army Recruits Fail?

This is stuff I have given alot of thought to in the last 40+ years. I have no problem smoking their ass.

BRM or WTF it's called now is best taught by a committee of QUALIFIED instructors. Ain't no way in hell each BCT Co. has the same standards of training for BRM.

I think back to my time as a DS. Our range time was taken very serious. If we had a trainee on the zero range having problems, we pulled him off the line and explained to him how to correct that problem. Some just don't understand what you are trying to teach them.Maybe they think breathing, trigger squeeze is BS. Sarge I never had a problem shootin' my Granddaddies shotgun!! ;-)

I wonder how many trainee's have NEVER fired a weapon??

I could go on an on but I'll stop for now and let someone else comment.
