94th Training Division Instructor Maintains Excellence at RTS-M Devens
March 29, 2018 — A brisk wind blows through the open work bay at Regional Training Site - Maintenance (RTS-M) Devens on this late morning in March as Sgt. 1st Class Gilbert Galman, a 94th Training Division instructor, hunches over a computer screen, carefully analyzing the results of his students' preventative maintenance checks and services diagnostic exam. Huddling them up, he meticulously outlines some of the common deficiencies he has noticed and, along with the other instructors, runs through some hands-on practical exercises with the students, ensuring that they learn from their experiences so they can make the necessary adjustments to ace their final test of the 91B Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic Course. It's this kind of attention to detail that helped earn Galman the title of Instructor of the Year at RTS-M Devens in October of last year, an honor he still currently holds and consistently strives to prove himself worthy of every day. Galman was surprised by the honor since he did not set out to achieve any sort of recognition, but instead simply focused his efforts on trying to offer the same kind of effective and meaningful instruction that his fellow instructors offer at the Devens schoolhouse. “As far as teaching and teaching the right way,” says Galman, “it's always been the right way, as far as what we do here.”...
