Debate on now

The extension maybe changing that. My son goes to Fort Irwin in 2 months.
They have also setup a number of “mini- Ft Irwins” at Ft Benning and other large forts.
I don’t know any Airmen and Sailors who are in infrantry positions without training. Do you?
“Pelosi up. She is saying the troops are being sent to war without training.”
Correction - Troops are being sent to war without the handcuff keys.
Herold Rogers up
He is quoting Gen Lee now
“Pelosi up. She is saying the troops are being sent to war without training.”
She can’t help lying! The only people sent anywhere without training was Pelosi and friends!
When I deployed in 2003 we trained at Ft. Bliss.
Hubby trained at Fort Campbell in 03 and son my son trained for 2mos at Ft Dix before he was deployed last Sept....my hubby is about to return and he will be re-training again at Ft Shelby Ms......so....who are these untrained troops the bit— is talking about?
Aahhh..ok- I misunderstood your point- had a wth moment:)
“If she had said “Without proper training” she would of been correct. Brigade combat certification has been waived in some cases and many units are not taking the customary pass through Fort Irwin or Quantico before shipping out. They are even assigning Airmen and Sailors to ground pounder duty.”
Probably very much other wars, especially WWII.
Many joint assignments going on but I believe all these people are trained. We are not sending anyone anywhere without training. Very mis-leading statement made by Pepsi.
