Sorry but I am abit confused, what does saluting got to do with this?

[101st Airborne]

It is an important part of training

What I am confused about how does saluting relate to this thread.

[lem096]

if buy saluting you mean drill then yes it is essential 1st step in training

recruites need to learn disciplin and how to obey orders, drill is simply a way of teaching the very basics

to put it this way without drill there would be no soldiers, this is not a trade you dont go to TAFE or college

to make better soldiers you need better training and that starts with drill. NEVER assume this is not an important part of basic training or the militry

Yep, everthing starts at Boughton Centre. Then as you gain and become profecient in each skill you move to the next level, red,blue, gold and green tabs etc.

Well I am looking at it, that a soldier who is about to deploy would already have the basic stuff nailed. I know for the Aussie Army  and all other military forces that's the case. You don't go anywhere until your march out of Pooka, the same applies for your IET.

When I refer to training (which appears that I should have made myself clear in the begining) I refer to combat drills, fire and movement ex's, CQB training, spending time on the WTSS, all field tactics and hard slogging Infantry training. From RTC to deployment all training in between is what we need to spend more time and money before we go onto by advanced war systems.
