Dan-
You said in a earlier post that guys are coming out of OSUT not knowing certain (IMO) key elements
1. Not knowing how to zero an M16/M4
2. Never shooting or not nowing how to shoot the M240 (b/c they were doing kp or whatever else that day)
To you all-
What the hell are they teaching in OSUT. I know there are a ton of elements to be taught to an individual who is in OSUT but I think if you are in the infantry or some other combat MOS you should be able to effective manipulate, fire, zero, and clean every weapon you or your mos may need to use. Including the AK-47, as it is the perfered weapon of the enemy.
Correct me if I'm wrong here but aren't these skills paramount to your very survival?
I thought I read some where on here that the army is now going to be doing some new wize bang HSLD "intense" "acclerated" training as a trial for some infantry OSUT. That includes the teaching of head space and timings for the 50, more shooting of the 240 and 249. Or something to that effect.
I don't want to talk smack about your Gentlemen's house but seriously how or what are recruits being taught in OSUT? Maybe less time should be concentrated on cleaning and mopping the barracks and more time on the range?
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
