Things we removed from the training schedule to make room for new stuff:
Company level drill & ceremony-only time you see a compnay march now is at graduation.
Trip to the post museum that was part of Army history. Now they just get the classroom portion.
Formal inspections-went from 4 to 1, at the end of the cycle. These were replaced with PCI/PCC (Pre-Combat Checks/Inspections) done by drill sergeants prior to footmarches or other training events.
Post-final FTX recovery time-cut by one day, from 4 to 3.
Also lost some of our "light-day" Saturdays, which allowed us to give some drills sgts Saturdays off. Means DS's have more morale/burnout issues.
I'm sure there's other stuff that was cut-I took command right after the changes started, and don't have much memory of the "way things used to be."
