Cadet Richards always seems to complain about having a sore throat Cadet Richards always seems to complain about having a sore throat. During drill practice, you can hear him lead his squad from all the way across the parade field. He enunciates well and his inflection is correct, but sometimes his voice is so loud, that your squad reacts to his commands. What should you tell him about his command voice? Tell him that you are impressed with the volume and projection of his voice, and that he is loud enough to lead a battalion. Commend him that people can always identify his squad when they perform drill and ceremonies because his sore throat makes his voice scratchy and distinct. Don't tell him anything because he'll figure out that he's too loud when he loses his voice. Tell him that commands need only to be loud enough for his unit to hear and if he practices proper voice control, then his sore throat may go away. Click to see the correct answer
