Following the decision to do away with the advanced individual training platoon sergeant, the Army began remaking those instructors into drill sergeants on Friday, according to a release from the Army.

The Army plans to transition 600 platoon sergeants, over seven 10-day courses, Stephanie Slater, a spokeswoman for the Center for Initial Military Training, told Army Times on Wednesday.
