Do you have to join the Navy to be a drill sargent..?

Question

sorry for my spelling its bad i know...Here's the question. Do you have to actually join the navy and be deployed and go through boot camp and all that stuff to be a drill sargent for Navy Boot camp. I would just LOVE to yell at people in boot camp and say the "drop and give me 50" and hear "Ma'am yes ma'am" or "ma'am no ma'am" Kinda curious if anyone can help that would be great!!

Answer 1

Is this even a serious question?

Yes you have to be in the Navy to be a drill instructor and in any branch you have to be in the military to be a drill instructor. You also have to be in the military for over 4 years to be a drill instructor.

Answer 2

To obtain the honor for being a Drill Sargent, requires usually four to five years active service in a combat/ combat support positions. That's of course after you have attended NCO schools and leadership training. Then you have to make it to the candidate selection. Do you see where this is going?

Answer 3

Yes you do.  That's not all there is to being a drill sergeant.  Think about it.  You will be working the same hours as the recruits, and you have to DO EVERYTHING you expect the recruits to do, and be able to do it better.  I think you are better off staying out of the military, because you obviously have a warped sense of what it is supposed to be all about.  

Answer 4

The U.S.  Navy doesn't use 'Drill Sergeants', they use 'Recruit Division Commanders' to train their sailors in Boot Camp.  'Drill Sergeants' refers to U.S. Army Basic Combat Training cadre only.  In the Marine Corps, they are 'Drill Instructors, in the Air Force they are 'Military Training Instructors' and in the Coast Guard they are 'Training Company Commanders'.

Recruit Division Commanders (formerly Company commanders) in the United States Navy are Petty Officer Second Class (E-5) through Senior Chief Petty Officer (E-8). U.S. Navy officer training includes a Marine Corps Staff Sergeant (E-6) or Gunnery Sergeant (E-7) drill instructor, a Chief Petty Officer (E-7), and a Class Officer (typically a Lieutenant (O-3)).

Answer 5

no, the navy does not have drill sargents the marines you go through boot camp and after that there is a special boot camp where you become a drill sargeant

Answer 6

Well seeing the Navy has no Sargent's they do not have Drill Sargent's. The Marine's Army and Air Force has Sargent's. The Navy has Petty officers... So I think they call them Drill Instructors..... And YES you do have to be in the Navy.
