That is complete bollocks......outrageous......"I regret I have never deployed" Where the fcuk has she been hiding for the last eight years?????????
How in the name God will this woman expect to have any credibility training future drill sergeants a lot of whom will have probably deployed multiple times. I mean there are reservists who are on their third tour.............I'm inclined to agree with the "polotics" comment above........

The question is what is her base MOS and what units has she served in - there's plenty of people who haven't deployed (over 200,000) I believe so not necessarily her fault. Remember that promotion etc. is based on points in the US and so she may have just been in the right place at the right time. Not saying that there wasn't any nepotism/old boys/drill Sergeants club at play but without proof...
At her level it's all about training programs and materials - she's removed somewhat from the actual Drill Sergeant trail. Maybe having her in this position and actual people who have deployed facing off with the trainees is a good thing.There may be only one time in your life when your country will call upon you and you will be the only one who can do the nasty job that has to be done -- do it or forever after there will be the taste of ashes in your mouth.

After a stint as a drill sergeant in her early 20s, Sergeant Major King went through a series of rapid promotions: aide to the secretary of defense, then Dick Cheney; senior enlisted positions near the demilitarized zone in Korea; with the XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg; and at NATO headquarters in Europe.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
