His military stint was limited: he received theoretical briefings, weekend drills and exercises.

For five weekend drills, I was paid for only one weekend.

Eleven months before, I injured my knee on a weekend drill and was declared unfit for duty.

For members of the Reserve and National Guard, creditable service must have been in a drilling status with regular attendance of weekend drills and annual training.

Personnel prepare for contingency operations during weekend drills and normally participate in either an exercise or specialized training during two weeks of annual Active Duty.

The monsignor's usual weekend drill is Saturday morning burial, Saturday afternoon wedding, Sunday baptism.

I believe that reserve and guard combat and combat support units should eliminate the weekend drills and instead have a single, one month annual training (AT).

Since unit members must go to weekend drills every month, they must be close enough to the reserve center.

Many of these units are able to conduct meaningful training on weekend drills, since their training does not rely as heavily on being in the field.

Drills are generally on the Guard/Reserve model, with one weekend drill per month.
