Army Basic Instructor Course makes teachers out of trainers

  Soldiers who attend the Army Basic Instructor Course, or ABIC, are usually experienced trainers, but many have difficulty translating their training skills to the classroom.

Sgt. Marcy DiOssi, who attended the 94th Training Division's 10-day ABIC on Fort Dix, New Jersey, said the course was an opportunity to get accustomed to the classroom and to gain confidence speaking in front of large groups of people.

"Most of my experiences are hands on in the field teaching Soldiers as a squad leader ... I'm really comfortable there," said DiOssi, 1/95th Engineer Battalion, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. "In the classroom ... that's a challenge."
