It's time for the next video in the series, The Making of a Drill Sergeant, where we follow U.S. Army Reserve noncommissioned officer through the process of going to The U.S. Army Drill Sergeant Academy at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.

In Episode 3, Part 2, we speak to our drill sergeant candidate, Sgt. Alycia Perkins from Columbia, South Carolina, the day before graduation. She gives us her thoughts on the course and how she looks forward to getting out on the trail.

The second full story on this 2nd Brigade, 98th Training Division Soldier can now be found on DVIDS (https://www.dvidshub.net/news/346209/making-drill-sergeant-episode-2-going-drill-sergeant-academy), but the video clip series will have some interesting little tidbits that would not all fit in the articles. So make sure you watch to learn more about this Soldier and her journey on becoming a U.S. Army Reserve drill sergeant. And stay tuned for the next article in the Winter Griffon (and DVIDS) that will describe her experiences out on the trail with trainees.
