As the 18B, you are responsible for weapons and tactics training are you not? If you think training with blanks is a bad idea (it is) then it is your job to convince the TL. The TS is not the only one who can train him in the way things are.
1. Teaches bad habits
2. Waste of space to take blank ammo and store it
3. Brings nothing to the table that can't be done with a dry weapon
4. Increases safety risks as it is not unheard of live to get mixed in with blank
5. Waste of valuable training time dick dancing with blanks and having to triple check live didn't get mixed in.
6. They will lose the blank adapters
7. After the first iteration, everybody will agree it was a bad idea and blow it off anyway
8. There is a chance they will have blank ammo in a firefight
9. They will play instead of train because there is no perceived penalty for not being serious
10. Teaches bad habits.
If it's your training, take charge of it.

Somewhere a True Believer is training to kill you. He is training with minimal food or water, in austere conditions, training day and night. The only thing clean on him is his weapon and he made his web gear. He doesn't worry about what workout to do - his ruck weighs what it weighs, his runs end when the enemy stops chasing him. This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.
