I can relate to alot of these comments.
I went to "B" Co. 3d Gp (B-4 A-??) ' 65. Our first FTX to Eglin was made up of teams from B-4 thru B-6. We didn't have a full team in the Co.
My Tm. Sgt. at Eglin was a great guy but the team had never trained a day together.
We did a round robin training thingy, UW,air ops, patrolling etc.

When we hit the UW station, we were sat on a log and the team was asked UW question's, being the FNG on the team I tried not to show off. Most of the guys on the team couldn't answer any of the questions.

The way I handled this was to ask the TS a question using the correct answer.

Later I heard my TS ask someone WTF is my intel sgt. Oh he is an FNG right out of SFTG. TS said if it wasn't for him at the UW station,we would of fell flat on our ass.
