Devens Reserve Forces Training Area strengthens environmental stewardship through Qualified Recycling Program
June 30, 2020 — What does it take to be the most capable, combat-ready reserve force? A focus on training to win the wars of tomorrow and a whole lot of brass to back it up.

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.”...
