The problem was that the school had a eleven-month backlog when I was there so a lot of instructors were E-5/6s pulled from various bases or, and this is what I hated, they would pull the best students and make them "acting corporals" and use them as instructors.
When I went to Germany for my 2nd tour I was assigned as a Section Sergeant and I always made it a point to ask if the new personal had acting corporals, that told just how much retraining I had to do to get the kids qualified.

Ouch "acting Corporals"... So what was harder, retraining an "Acting Corporal" or their students...
